Congratulations and good luck!

You will have to get a waiver to be accepted to VMI with that condition. In general- VMI requires you to be eligible to commission even if you choose not to do so, and all cadets will be enrolled in 4 years of ROTC , though you are not required to contract unless you have a scholarship. Listed...

Nice work Cadet Gild (‘24). https://www.vmi.edu/news/headlines/2021-2022/cadet-credits-vmi-training-for-quick-response-in-an-emergency.php

My pet peeve- the lazy slobs who leave their shopping cart out in the middle of the supermarket parking lot. It truly bends me off and even worse are the schlubs who do so right in front of you.

Congratulations Cadet Meredith- to be named as the Regimental Commander is a real honor- to be the first woman selected is a historic one! Good work and good luck! Rah Virginia Mil!👍...

Until Covid hit last March, I was on a plane almost every week so have had some interesting seat mates . The ones who I found the most interesting were old , long retired Athletes. For those who are fans and remember the Ken Burns documentary on Baseball- on a fight into Kansas City, I got to...
