Thank you!

Hopefully you’re still on here and can answer this question. :) if scholarship money goes to tuition, but the school gives ROTC a $4k discount on room and board, do we have to claim the $4k as income?

If no one responds with the number, reach out to your DoDMERB poc. I did last week, and they gave me the direct number for AROTC waiver board.

I agree, and up until now, I’ve stayed in my lane, and he’s driven in his, handling everything he’s needed to do. This probably boils down more to my son doesn’t want the recognition, so won’t make the calls for that reason. Meanwhile the school is asking me for contact info, and of course I...

Ive reached out to the ROO at the school my son will be attending, twice, with no response. Would I be better off contacting the ROO at our local college?

Thank you for your post! We got word last week that his waivers have been cleared and are just waiting for his battalion commanders signature! Very excited for his future!!

Wanted to update so anyone that asks in the future can see our result. My son was DQ’d by DoDMERB for his sleepwalking (he was submitting for a 4 year AROTC scholarship he won in the first board....did not go for service academies once we realized sleepwalking was an issue.) He did however...

Does anyone know if they only do this if you’re medically cleared? My son is waiting on two waivers. I emailed his ROO, but haven’t gotten a response.

Sheriff3 I messaged you

Thank you! Good to hear of a case that was in the timeframe they gave. I know there’s no telling, but was only reading about ones that take forever so just wanted to know it’s possible lol!

So I’ve read about the cases where waivers take months, sometimes a year. How common is this? My son is waiting for decisions on 2 waivers for AROTC. The timeline says 4-6 weeks, are most during this time, and we only hear about the lengthier ones? 6 weeks takes us to 4/24, just in time for...

Fingers crossed ours ends up the same way!! :) thank you for the link, very helpful!!

When we visited the Naval Academy, they told us that there’s homework hours every night (I want to say at least 3 hours), and that the professors come back for those hours to be available for help. It really impressed me. They said b/c they’ve put such a huge investment in you, their goal is...

My son was a first round AROTC 4 year scholarship winner. He’s awaiting waiver decisions for two DoDMERB issues. Wondering what happens if they don’t get resolved by May 1st? We can’t afford his ROTC choices without the scholarship. And waivers are probably a 50/50 chance right now. We...
