Ma'am, She knows I'm in AFROTC and that I have been working for a scholarship since my freshman year. She and my dad were ADAF for 12-13 years as well. I think she was concerned because in the early 90's they both separated and are now paying back some of their time and she's worried that...

Well you and I are a little bit different I suppose. I chose an ME major solely to have a higher chance at a scholarship and priority for things in AFROTC. I really needed a scholarship to stay at my university and continue with ROTC. But congrats! Only 1 cadet in our det. got a scholarship...

When my det. went over the CSO Express scholarship the PAS implied once you've commissioned as a CSO, your obligation to that career field would end (after training for X months and being stationed somewhere) and you could then apply somehow to be a pilot. We were also made aware that it's not...

This morning I was notified that I received a Type II 3-year in-college scholarship. I've read over the contract details and am prepared to sign the papers tomorrow afternoon but my mom is concerned about the 8 year commitment. I am not, but she is, and I was wondering how to quell her fears...

Not impossible, but unlikely

No. In fact, both Senator's offices talk to each other about candidates. They do this to ensure they dont both nominate the same two candidates, thus wasting a spot for another highly qualified candidate. Last year I got a nomination from Sen. Chambliss, and my home rep., but Isakson sent me...

It is my understanding that in AFROTC if you receive a poor grade in a class and retake it, they will average the two grades together. So if you get an F the first time, retake it, and get an A AFROTC will average the two even if your school replaces the grade entirely

No he had barely turned 18. He was 17 when he entered and was the youngest in the det.

On Junior Ring Weekend last spring at Norwich, an AFROTC 100 (on scholarship) drank enough to get alcohol poisoning. He didn't come back this year but to the best of my knowledge he kept his scholarship and transferred to another university.

"The town rolls right up to the side of the university so there is plenty to do..." This is why you should choose UNG, as long as you're okay with Army ROTC. Norwich is cold and there is nothing to do here. All anyone does here is bring alcohol on campus and drink on the weekends. Plus the...

I think I remember you on these forums from last spring. I was nominated through AFROTC so I might be able to help. At the beginning of the year I explained to the CoC that I had applied to USAFA the year before and was reapplying. He said no problem and to get back to him in Oct/Nov. He then...

As Pima said, no one knows for sure how many ISS are available. More than likely your son, despite his 3.8 GPA, is farther back in line for a scholarship than a cadet who has a technical major. In my det. last year, an international studies major was passed up for a scholarship who had a 3.9...

Got my second TWE in as many years today. I'll stay the course with Norwich AFROTC to commission. Congratulations to all of those who have been accepted, and good luck to those still waiting.

Has the waitlist been finalized?
