    Questions about FA BOLC/Fort Sill

    He is not especially happy about the prospect of Lawton - he listed Germany, Italy, Alaska, Hawaii… I’m just trying to put a positive spin on Lawton in case he lands there. I’m going to suggest the recommendation on this thread that he try to switch with a married guy who doesn’t want to deploy!

    One of my sons was in this exact position. He always responded that his top priority was to commission as an officer in the Army, and that he would be thrilled to go through whichever door opened - USMA or AROTC. He received a 4 year AROTC scholarship early last Fall. He received a letter of...

    Reassigning DS bedroom once he leaves for BCT/AIT/college... Need opinions!

    Since on one else is sharing a bedroom, I would wait a little while before relocating- especially if he’s not 100% on board with it. After he gets settled in college, he it probably will not bother him to move.
