My son graduated in 2015.. He planned well in advance for the task as well. It is never a bad thing. Take hard classes in high school...heavy math and science. Take on leadership roles wherever you can. Keep yourself fit.... I was visiting my DS at VMI and I arrived on post just after he...

As an update to my previous which is long overdue; DS was offered a position as a forensic chemist/toxicologist in the previously mentioned forensic lab where he did his summer internship. This was about 2 months prior to graduation. They sought him out when they had an opening. There were 200+...

I just wanted to throw a bone to the nervous parents of those new rats, rooks etc that have opened their check books, signed the parent plus loans and are about to cry all the way home up I81 from Lex wondering if it is really all worth it. Is VMI what it sells itself to be? Not everyone that...

DS advised they fire them for SRC at night(supper roll call) and founders day etc.. no formal artillery training.

DS was the same way DS was involved mostly in music/church related activities. He played baseball 2 years and that was it. His academics got him in along with leadership roles in other areas. VP honors choir,NHS, school productions and several other leadership roles. Not everyone there is a...

To quote DS... "This is the nicest day of the year, BUT we have parade."

supplies for rats http://www.linensupplier.com./ I used this company when DS matriculated a few years ago. It saved me a lot of running around. The only thing that didnt work well was the blanket because it caused lint even after several washings. Good luck to all:thumb:

Call admissions and ask for an email address to send attachments if they will accept them that way. They are very helpful. DS did everything snail mail 4 years ago and it took some time for the documents to show as received on Post View.

Watching for the commercials!!!:biggrin:

Back and fourth the rivalry goes until the end of time. Reality is the main question is where will you be happy. Which school offers the major..which school puts together the financial aid to make it affordable? Do you want the hot climate of the south or the mountains of Va. as the back drop...

Good Luck to All!!! Just glad that I have to help haul that stuff up ONLY one flight of stairs this year. I can't believe how fast it is going.

As the others have stated.. Choose what you want to do not what the Army or AF is interested in. DS thought he had to take Elec/computer Engineering for the sake of the military. He said he wanted to give it a try for himself but I believe if the military hadn't put emphasis on wanting ECE...
