    They have a ton of applications to review. They spend only a couple of minutes on each package, not likely to spend a lot of time trying to parse through your application to make sense of it when there will be a ton of applicant with similar courses, extracurriculars, and higher GPA. Not...

    Stipend Backpay

    DS definitely didn't get back stipend once he contracted. I think you got bad information, especially since some of the ROTC funding has been cut.

    Branching Question

    DS finds out his branch in about 2 weeks. His first choice is FA. He was also Most Preferred for FA. Are there any stats out there that would show the likelihood that FA is where he will end up given MP status and his first choice? I know nothing is certain with the army, just curious on how...

    End of Camp Commissioning - Questions

    Thank you for your response and apologies for the delayed response. DS completed camp in mid-July and is expecting to be commissioned in October. He said the briefing given to Out-of-cycle commissioning wasn't very clear (as did his PMS) so it's a bit unclear when component and Branch will be...
