It takes YEARS to become fluent in a language. I majored in German and did live in Germany for 23 years after college so it did come in handy in real life. I would say keep building on your Spanish.

Make peace with his sister, your conscience and the past and it should all be good. Good luck at WP!

Wow, these numbers are not what I expected. @MohawkArmyROTC, do you have stats specifically on recipients of 4 year national AROTC scholarships? How many make it to commissioning? Is the rate higher than above?

There are a lot of threads on ACT/SATs. Unfortunately, being superb in other aspects of your applications will not counteract a mediocre test score. My son had a strong application except got a 1280 SAT (up from 1100) and a 26 (up from a 23) on the ACT and both I think were major factors in the...

The photocopy of the condom cracked me up. I have never even looked in my kid's wallet, let alone made photocopies of the contents! Almost all of the things on the list are just things you just sort of pick up somehow. I don't even clip coupons! My kids send off is going to be two parts...

So I joined this "incoming freshmen parents group" at the university my son will attend this fall. Some of the posts are informative, others, like this one, cringeworthy! lol _____________ "QUESTION: What is the best advice for incoming parents to focus on between May and August? ANSWER: If...

A USMC colonel?! Write about your grandpa! And show them that not only have his stories influenced you (provide one out of the park story) but that you also have some of those hardcore genes in your DNA and have what it takes to make a great leader like he was (I am married to a Marine, they are...

Ah..if it's only once a week that sound more doable. And if it's not through NY, LA or Chicago, even better. I thought it was every day with PT at 6.00 am, cross town. Good luck! Keep us posted!

Definitely go to Boys State! Our legion post was so excited to sponsor him since they hadn't sent any in quite a few years. Unfortunately, like pretty much everything else, it was cancelled last summer. Bummed that DS won't have that opportunity again.

Congrats on all the great options and sorry about the TWEs (DS got them too). You can make lists of pros and cons but what is your gut telling you to do? Go with that! And who knows, you might like your first year at xyz so much that it becomes your true path! Life has a way of doing things...

Invest in a nice suit and get it altered if it doesn't fit perfectly. We got DS a nice one during his junior year with different shirts and ties. He has worn it for all kind of events... FFR/BGO interviews, SEN/MOC nomination interviews, NHS ceremonies, and for his hockey games where they had...

You'll have plenty of time to commute the rest of your life! I am sure most of the adults who have had long drives to and from xyz, will agree, it get's old quickly! Yes, it is doable but your time, sanity, sleep and quality of life is worth something too! I say choose the school that is...

@Montana State Army ROTC We also need your input on the "Where to retire" thread, just in case no one else can answer our questions. lol

Oh man! Sad to see you go! DS is about to start his AROTC journey and you just get up and leave on us! Thanks for all your help on this forum. Signed, 98.3 percent of all members on this forum

Oh man, so sorry, Brian. I thought for sure the golden ticket was yours. At least you can finally proceed with life! You'll be fine! Good luck to you!
