Thank you Jcleppe. Good luck to your son as well.

I personally took it in late-October after the 1st board had convened so that I could get my running time down because I had focused too much on pushups and situps during my prep over the summer. The way my battalion explained things to me was thus: There's no real point in freaking out about...

Thank you buff81. That reassures me a little bit to know there is still hope.

Yeah I contacted my battalion 2 months ago and they said they'd try to get it going from their end, but still I've heard nothing. I contacted Cadet Command directly and they told me I'd hear the decision directly from DoDMERB-which doesn't appear to be the case from what you just told me. It...

Hi, I was awarded an Army ROTC scholarship but the DoDMERB website says I was disqualified and under the ROTC heading it says pending waiver submission/review. I heard back from the USAFA and USMA directly that I was not given a waiver (I didn't finish the apps) but I haven't heard from...

It appears I'm the 3rd person in this thread who did not receive anything regarding DoDMERB in the mail. I figured they would send it out eventually, but then today I got an email from my Regional Commander saying to get my exams done ASAP. I was like :confused: So I went to the site like...

Speaking as a rising Senior who did exactly that.. no. Don't take AP Chem to make up for a poor lower-level grade. I got a B+ in Honors and ended up with a B- in AP. The material is still there, it's just a heck of a lot harder. If I had a do-over, I'd have taken Physics Honors last year and...

Thanks, I misunderstood the directions in the fine print. Now I feel kind of stupid. To clarify: We provide contact info and THEN we fill out the CAR?

Hi, Since I filled out my SS application, I have participated in several notable activities that I would like to update my application with. How would I go about doing this? The only way that I can see is to email the Admissions Team, unless there is a form that I'm just not seeing...

Hi, When I first started track, my mile time was 10:00+ and I couldn't finish without walking. Now I run sub-7:00 consistently. Point is, no matter where you start, or your natural ability (I have none; I look like a baby giraffe when I run) you can improve to a respectable time. What I...

Nap wouldn't happen to be IndiaNAPolis would it? Anyway, you're young and right now is when you need to prepare. First advice, stick with your sports. All four years. You might want to quit but don't. I wish I had taken that same advice when I was younger. Also, keep working for A's...

Okay, thank you. That's what I had it down as, I just wanted to be sure and avoid any potential integrity issues.

I play basketball in a town-league that I suppose is considered "recreational" since there aren't cuts made. I was just wondering if, on the ROTC app, it falls under (J.V., Legion, Babe Ruth, etc. "No intramurals") or (City/County Organized League) Or if it is neither and doesn't warrant a...

User CP at the top > Edit Details (or something like that) > then there is a "Custom User Title" section. You can change it from there. :thumb:

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I need to practice the "hockey stop" apparently. I take quite a few step to slow down.
