    PFT averages

    Not sure if it is still true, but I remember reading a couple of years ago that the average score for Army ROTC scholarship winners was 138. Equates to nearly maxing out pushups and curl-ups (50 each for men), and running better than a 7-minute mile. Of course, that is average, so there are...

    Parents - ask me your mom and dad questions

    Contracting doesn't happen right away. They need to pass a fitness test and meet H/W standards (or pass a tape) before contracting, and then they need the right paperwork from the HRA. That all doesn't happen right away. With all the changes, I'm not sure what standards are being applied for...

    Parents - ask me your mom and dad questions

    Each school's battalion will do it differently, but I would expect the minimum commitments to be: 1. A "Zero" day at the beginning of the semester where the cadets fill out paperwork and get equipment. 2. Morning PT 2x or 3x a week, depending on battalion. 3. In addition to the MS class, a...

    Covid vaccine?

    A school's requirement is separate and apart from DOD's requirement. For example, South Carolina prohibited a vaccine requirement, but ROTC units in South Carolina still needed to comply with the DOD requirement. That said, I also believe that the DOD requirement has been rescinded, but you...

    Army ROTC 2022-2023 2nd Board

    Yes. His declining the ECP program has no bearing on his standing on the OML.

    Now what?

    All applicants are put on an OML, and then a line is drawn as to who gets a scholarship. Those below the line will be considered after the March board when the additional applications are reviewed.

    Army ROTC 2022-2023 2nd Board

    I think it is a sign of the process. It means your application was reviewed by the Board.

    Question about list of schools on ROTC scholarship application

    Because you say 7, I assume it is AROTC. if selected for scholarship, the award will identify 1 to 3 schools where the scholarship applies. You have to accept the scholarship at one of those schools. If you want to go somewhere other than one of the schools where the award is, you have to...

    Army ROTC 2022-2023 2nd Board

    No. I'd say the earliest would be Friday (but unlikely), but more likely closer to next Friday. After the list is made, it is circulated to the ROTC programs before the results are posted. Sometimes, there are technical issues that cause further delay. Sometimes, PMSs reach out to...

    Not recieving stipend or book allowance

    It is not unusual for the book money and stipend not to be paid until 2nd semester. But he should definitely check with his HRA.

    How to Compare ROTC Detachments?

    The advice to pick the school not the ROTC program is very true, because just like a scholarship athlete, what happens if there is an injury and you lose your sport/ROTC slot. However, I think understanding the differences in the ROTC programs and having that be a factor in your school choice...

    AROTC 3rd Board

    I believe the high number of upgrades last year was an anomaly from previous years. Last year, taking the SAT/ACT was still an issue for some applicants, but I don't know if that contributed to the anomaly or not. No idea what will happen this year.
