I’m a current cadet at TAMU and can fully vouch for our “World Famous, Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band.” The cadets in band get the band experience AND the cadet experience, they go through the same training and events as us regular cadets. They’re in their own companies, house with strictly band, and...

This is true! I’ve got friends who were in similar situations, all they had to do was network and make some calls/send some emails or in the best cases shake some hands (meeting in person) and they had a test administrator within a day or two of reaching out. I’d recommend you let your DS take...

Don’t forget there are many other variables to consider at the same time. Noticed you didn’t mention any sports so I don’t know if your into athletics or not...just a little something to also consider. Good luck!! :)

DODMERB can take a long time for anything quite frankly, be patient but be involved. I recommend calling the designated person for your situation at DODMERB, this doesn’t always make a difference in timing but can definitely yield some answers that it sounds like you’re seeking (why it’s taking...

Thank you, EPTexasMom! And thank you, JAGman!

Wow!! Thank you, I didn’t even know they released that information to the public. Thank you so much Humey, very interesting data it’s got there. If I saw correctly, when handing in the flight log at TBAS, having a minimum of 12 flight hours directly adds to the PCSM score? Y’all have gone...

Thank you jaglvr, the same to y’all! [emoji106]

Majority of the Cadets in the corps have zero JROTC experience from high school, and I have many friends with the AROTC scholarship that didn’t do JROTC. To be in the Corps of Cadets at TAMU, the only requirement is to be accepted to TAMU. After that, you check a box and you’re in the corps! I’d...

Thank you EVERYONE for the in-depth information and pointers so far...I want to be as proactive as possible with this opportunity and get into the motion of things, but I also don’t want to forget why I’m here in the first place (not to be a pilot, but to serve as an officer in the USAF)...

Thank you, StealthyPilot for the response. You make a good point!

You got to go through the entire application process before the interview, which is scheduled by the detachment you are assigned relative to your general region. In my case for example, I was given a time window for the interview and had to communicate exactly when to commence it. Doesn’t hurt...

There are clearly two views here and I think both make a great point. One side of me says retake the class and be resilient, be completely honest with yourself and do what you didn’t before to make it happen (study, get tutoring, communicate to your mentors and det staff, even go to khan...

If you’re asking if it matters to me, yes absolutely. Aviation in general is a world that I respect and aspire to be apart of. If you’re asking if it matters in the grand scheme of things, from what I’ve learned so far it’s more of a booster than a measurement considered by boards. It’s an...

This is so true, with any interview and especially with the one(s) you will undergo for the ROTC scholarship, statistics and titles look great on paper but a leadership title is far different than leadership experience. You WILL have to talk about all that and describe the impacts and lessons...

Wow! A lot of great answers! Thank y’all for the input, it definitely widened my perspective on this. Luckily these are all goals I can set to work towards. I’ll keep those other variables in mind...seems like the common denominator here is putting in the work and doing everything I can, can’t...
