    New Spirit Video

    Looks like they made the video private... what a shame. It was a pretty funny one (I was dragging with 8th co this weekend and they showed it to me)

    October 15, 2012 AROTC Board

    Received my official letter today as well. 3 year AD to UVA (my first choice), or 4 year to UT Austin (my second or third choice). Currently excited, but wishing I didn't have to decide by Dec. 2!

    No, I live in DC. I assume y'all are from Texas?

    Hypothetical Situation(ROTC Scholarship+Academy)

    Sorry to tag in on someone else's thread, but does that also apply with different ROTC scholarships? (i.e. can you accept both an AROTC and NROTC scholarship?) Thanks!

    First AROTC Board

    With the first AROTC board coming up next week, does anyone have insight into when a candidate might hear if their application was reviewed or if a scholarship is being awarded? Thanks!

    NROTC Boards?

    So my NROTC scholarship application is complete, and sent it, and I was wondering when/how often selection boards meet. If anyone knows, that'd be great! Thanks.

    Needing Two Waivers...

    Just so you know: I am a candidate for the class of 2017, so I'm not an authority on this. I can't help you with your first issue, but I also wear orthotics for pronation (I pretty much only wear them for sports now) and I did not require a waiver or a remedial. So my guess would be that you...

    Open Portals

    Mine also is not open, but it gives me a chance to work on my nomination application. I have to do both of them anyways, order doesn't make a huge difference. :biggrin:

    Portal Greens turn red

    Hasn't happened to me (I don't have my USMA portal yet :frown:) but my guess is that they'll input the NASS scores and it'll turn green again. They may have had to take the other ones out then save it before uploading new ones. Just a guess though.

    My Portal opened today!!

    It's now July 24th, which is the the day it says my portal will open at the earliest. I sort of thought that meant it would open today, but it has not. Does anyone know when I should expect it to open? Thanks.

    Good Enough for NASS?

    The NASS application isn't long or time-consuming, and it fulfills your preliminary application (you may have already known this). So, there's no reason not to apply. NASS was great, and it did fuel my desire to attend USNA. Remember, the only way to know for sure you won't get in is to not apply.

    Did I mess up to bad??

    First of all, I am not an official source on anything, I am just a candidate for the SAs and ROTC programs. But, you say that the only way for you to accomplish your goals is to go to a SA. Don't forget about ROTC, which earns you the exact same commission as a SA. Also, you're only a...

    Allergies vs. Adverse Reactions

    I am currently filling out the medical history form, and there are two questions, one asking "Have you ever had or do you now have any allergies?" and one asking "Have you ever had or do you now have adverse reaction to vaccines, drugs, medicines, foods, insect bites or stings?" What is the...
