Congratulations to all the winners. My DS received the good news two years ago today. It's hard to believe he will commission in two years. This summer he has been selected to attend Robin Sage at Fort Bragg...excuse me Fort Liberty.

That's about right. My DS received the call from one of his listed schools that he had been awarded a three year scholarship on 03/28/22. He ended up attending that university and contracting. Completing his sophomore year now and hoping to get an Army School this summer. His battalion and...

I don't necessarily believe it's a bad thing to interview at the school your DS prefers to attend. However neither of my DS's interviewed at the schools they ultimately chose to attend. Both received scholarships (NROTC & AROTC respectively). In fact they both attended their interviews via...

As a practicing attorney I would first of all tell you to the FOLLOW advice that others have already given you....hire counsel to represent your interests in the appeal process. Also please understand that "preponderance" of the evidence is 51% which is basically the standard in civil...

Semper Fi

You were not rejected! You just didn't receive a highly competitive scholarship. If it's your goal to commission, then join the unit at the college you will be attending as a non-scholarship cadet. Cadets will drop from the program and scholarships will be available down the line. I'm not...

Same for my DS with top three schools. Now the agony of which school to choose. Already been accepted at all three.

Did you attend NSI? If so I would assume that you passed all the required fitness testing and therefore your Unit fitness test should be a breeze. Or are you intending on becoming a college programmer once you get to campus. If that's the case then you will have competition for the three year...

My DS has the same problem. I don't know if it's system wide but at least you know you are not the only one with that issue.

No essay or subject test is required for AROTC or NROTC. The United States Military Academy application requires the essay be done along with the standard ACT or SAT testing. I believe that all the scores are required to be listed regarding the ROTC applications. But I could be wrong. So you...

Let's assume that the applicant's fitness test scores were fudged. Did they not think that they would eventually "pay the piper" once they arrived at either NSI or their respective units? Either a total lack of self awareness on their part or plain ignorance on the part of the applicant and...

Because it's easy and low hanging fruit. The complicated issues keep getting rearranged on the desks of the powers that be. And by the time they make a decision its too late or wrong.

Honor, Courage, Commitment. Do these words sound familiar? That sums up my position on this matter.

There is a zoom meeting scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon. I'm assuming that will be addressed.

I was typing my response when I saw hokiesfan's response. He is on point and I concur.
