Yes, the Type 7 will pay 100% tuition at a state school and/or a school at which you qualify for in state tuition. I have a daughter that is in her sophmore year at a state school where the tuition is $11,000. She has a type 7 and her tuition is paid 100% by AFROTC. Yesterday my younger...

scdad, we are in the Spartanburg area. Where are you? sc2014, congratulations. Looks like you are in great shape!

Congrats to your son, Scdad! My daughter also received a nomination from Senator Lindsey Graham to USAFA yesterday. I see from a prior post that you are in district 4. We are also in district 4. Has your son heard anything from our congressman's office?

guardianvg, If there is an application, we sure haven't been able to find one either. It sounds like my daughter's AFJROTC instructor did the same as yours. He simply wrote a letter recomending her for a JROTC nomination and faxed it to USAFA admissions. She already has an LOA and we're...

Thanks for your reply. I've also heard that these nominations are automatic and will show up. It is frustrating because nobody seems to have a clear cut answer.

How do you apply for a JROTC nomination to the Air Force Academy? We have found forms specifically for USNA and USMA but not for USAFA. My daughter asked her AFJROTC commander for a nomination. He seemed unsure of the process and wrote a letter of recommendation for a JROTC nomination and...

My daughter received the same call this week...asking how she was doing with her application. Her application was complete weeks ago and she received an LOA two weeks ago. They must be working on a report of incomplete applications dated some time in October.

My daughter pulled her LOA out of the mailbox an hour before going to her first MOC interview. What a great feeling! (In response to previous posts: she does have 20/20 vision) Good luck to everyone! 1.Jezzie, LOA, Oct 16; USAFA Nomination Nov 4, TX 2. falcongirl, Appointment, Oct. 13, MN...

There are 400 cadets enrolled in our JROTC program…this no exaggeration. I don’t know how the numbers break down from year to year but I am sure that the 9th grade has the largest number. It just makes sense. At our school you can take JROTC and receive a PE credit, so this does help the...

I guess you were expecting a much higher score since she is in the top 1% of her class. I've been lurking around this website long enough to know that 29 is not high. I wish I could say that it is higher but it is not. My older daughter is an AFROTC cadet at a very large university and her...

Thanks for your input! She is in the top 1% of her class at very large public school. Her ACT composite score is 29. She's taking it again this Saturday. She's also Wing Commander of a very large JROTC program...400 cadets. Even with all the athletics, she is having trouble with pull ups...

My D will graduate with 8 varsity letters. She was a team captain last year and is one this year. My question is the following: Is one varsity letter just as good as 8? Does a person with one varsity letter get just as many "points" in the category of athletics as a person with multiple...

DQ Removed Thank you Larry! We just received word from Larry Mullen that our daughter's DQ was removed! Larry had called me last Thursday night when he was TDY in Washington D.C. to discuss my daughter's case. He answered all my questions professionally and efficiently. Today, on a Sunday, I...

Larry Mullen the Deputy Director of DODMERB posted his e-mail address last week for all on this forum to access and ask questions. Tonight I accessed my daughter's medical status on the DODMERB website and found that yet another disqualification letter had been sent. It looked as if her waiver...

Thanks and Another Question Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You cleared up a lot of questions that were on my mind. I have called her cross country coach to request that she write a letter. We live in the South and the weather can be brutal in the summer. My daughter practiced...
