Thanks for the link. She was told a few years ago that her knee wasn't healing because she was vegetarian. If she ate meat, the knee would heel and all would be good. She has never removed the brace when she runs to see if that was true. Since she has been eating meat for two years, now is...

Thanks! done.

My daughter is graduating with a BA in Spanish in May, 2018. She is considering Officer Candidate School for the Marines. My son applied to Army and Navy ROTC and was awarded an Army ROTC 3 year scholarship in April, 2016. Can my daughter apply to OCS- Marines, Army, Navy and OTS-Air Force and...

My daughter wears a knee brace when she runs...a high school track injury that never really healed...Without the brace, her knee cap slides while she runs. With the brace, she has no issues. She is thinking of applying to Officer Candidate School? Can she take the fitness test with the brace...

Yes, he has already signed the paperwork for a three year AD with his current school. How hard is it to get the support of both battalions? (ie does it happen a lot? or hardly ever?)

My son was awarded a 3 year AD scholarship. He chose a big school. He felt at the time that when he was finished with his 20 year Army career, a business degree from a big school would help him get a better job. He is completing his first semester and is doing academically well. He will be...

My son was just awarded a 3 year AROTC scholarship. His SAT was 1280. He had leadership (Eagle Scout) and VP of his class and a GPA weighted 3.7 ...and more college credits on his application. He also had Boys State. If it is not too late, look into seeing if you can go there in between your...

My son has just received his AROTC 3 year letter. He was diagnosed with a mitral valve prolapse when he was 3 and was dismissed by the cardiologist when he was 5...Do we even list it? He was also diagnosed with allergies when he was 4 and dismissed when he was 6 (after allergy shots for 2...

Does that mean that in June some last minute ROTC scholarships are awarded to replace the ones the cadets heading off to the academy once had?

I am confused...My son had his paperwork completed before the first boards. This summer, he was able to max the pull ups and crunches. He joined cross country in the Fall to work on the run. While doing cross country, he didn't continue to do the pull-ups and crunches. He was able to score a...

This was a while ago, so I am not sure it still is true...My husband did Army ROTC as an undergrad. He was not on scholarship. He wanted to go on to medical school. In his sophomore year, his leader was graduating and had planned on deferring to go to law school. The Army basically told...

I am confused. My son has applied to Navy ROTC-Marine Option...They supposed met November 6 and he is waiting. His application was complete. He is also applying to Army ROTC. He still hadn't completed his interview when they met in October. So he won't be considered for Army ROTC until...

My son's application is complete except for his recommendation letter. He just heard back from his English teacher (for the Marine Navy ROTC) and he never received the link. Who does my son contact to fix that?
