This was a rumor made up by cadets who were unaware of how it was done.

I am looking for a non-GPS, non-smartwatch (MUST be able to go into a SCIF!) that is durable, long-lasting, and not a pocket burner. I know there is the classic G-Shock series, but I just cant stand their blocky look. Any recommendations?

Hey! Space Ops is no longer a major being offered! Too few cadets enrolled.

My priorities right now are school first, money second. Whether that money be merit based, or from ROTC, I do not know. However, I do know what my ambitions are, and where I will and wont find them.

I have already reached out to the Enrollment Officer at the battalion of my top choice transfer school for more info, however, any more information y'all could give would be helpful. FYI: Currently a Frosh at USAFA, looking to go Army ROTC How does the MS year system work with transfers? How do...
