    Preparing for AROTC Fall 2014

    Well that sheds a little bit different of a light on it! I never thought of it that way, but yeah the competition doesn't end at the scholarship letters. I guess what I was getting after was just be humble about it, you'll have some respect from your peers, but don't be ashamed to want to learn...

    National WWI Museum

    If you're in central KS, might as well stop by and see Fort Riley too, home of the Big Red 1! Awesome cavalry museum there too, with a lot of in depth history of the Indian Wars. Custer jumped off from Ft. Riley to meet his end at Little Bighorn, so there's a lot of special Custer exhibits at...

    Preparing for AROTC Fall 2014

    Some advice my dad gave me when I started HS was that when the teacher asked a question, wait and see if anyone else answers first if you already know it. You can still always answer the question a little bit late and show some knowledge without looking like that know it all kid that needs to be...

    Hearing Waiver?

    Found out I've been DQ for an AROTC scholarship. I didn't meet the required hearing standards. I was prepared for this to happen before I even went to the doc's office so I'm not exactly blindsided by the DQ, but still disappointed. The doc said that I had trouble with hearing higher...

    Doesn't even make sense...

    Hang in there, hold on, and have faith is all I can say. Your boat's not the only one that's riding rough. Some of us who won the first board are now getting DQ notifications for medical reasons. Yours truly is one of them. That high and elation from getting that scholarship after so much hard...

    Are You Stressed Out.....

    I'm a little surprised that farmer/rancher isn't in the top 10. They have invested they're whole livelihood on the success of a crop or herd, hours are dawn to dusk, and that the market for their grain or cattle can sink like a rock in less than a week. Not to mention it's a thankless job when...

    Book suggestions!

    "About Face" fits this theme to a tee. Glad I read it!

    Book suggestions!

    "About Face" by David Hackworth - definitely interesting autobiography and well worth the read about the US Army and officership The Killer Angels Series- very good for historical fiction "Military Blunders"- can't remember who is the author, but gives a new officer a sense of what not to...

    ROTC Early Decision Questions

    Is this an instate tuition, out of state, or private college? I'm asking because that alone determines a lot of your chances. If its instate, you can get away with listing only your ED school. I only had one choice on my application and had no problem with receiving a scholarship. Granted, that...

    Christmas theme

    Puts me in the Christmas spirit! But I think they need to include some nutcracker soldiers. Or I guess they would actually be nutcracker cadets!

    Possible addition to profile activities?

    Welcome to the forums! I know for AROTC applicants only activities during your 4 years of high school can be listed. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

    The Future of Army Football (and Rich Ellerson)

    Academy grads are the best and brightest, I do really doubt that the quality of cadets will head south. But as a member of 4 losing football seasons myself I can't help but feel something for what the players are going through and what could happen if the Academy didn't already have a culture of...

    The Future of Army Football (and Rich Ellerson)

    No. It is actually that bad! Sorry if I may be venting but I'm about fed up with my highschool and its commitment to mediocrity.

    The Future of Army Football (and Rich Ellerson)

    Coming from a school and a football program with only 9 winning seasons in a 40 year school history, this article is hauntingly true about similarities of my team and about its tendency for tolerating losses. It seems like like there is no pride in my school or in the football program. We're a...
