If you are a part of the color guard or ranger challenge team for one year do you get the full points for that OML? Or do you need to take part in the activities all four years to achieve the maximum number of points?

I have a 3.8 GPA my first semester and recently received emails about honor society. I also just finished rushing into a fraternity. I know that a lot of the OML is GPA and PT based, but I was also wondering if holding a position on EC such as standards chair for the fraternity and being in...

I’m currently a MS1 cadet and am also junior enlisted in the Army Reserves. I’m debating if I should try and volunteer for a deployment for next fall semester/ next school year. The main reason I would want to deploy is to get some actual active army experience in and see how everything...

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks for helping me clear all this up and I will look into the GRFD scholarship!

That’s certainly not the case just confused and trying to understand from what I’ve been told prior. If I enlist and drill for a year or so before joining the SMP program then why wouldn’t that count as serving in the reserves as an enlisted member? And would years of service be higher because I...

I feel as if I’d be going in the right way by enlisting and attending basic and AIT. Even if ROTC doesn’t workout I’d still be in the army part time. And if I was to commission I’d more then likely choose the reserve route due to goals in and after college in my civilian life. I feel like you...

If I did split option I wouldn’t miss any schooling meaning I could enroll this fall and finish AIT next summer and the rotc program I’m going to doesn’t issue anyone any gear until at least sophomore year and half of the cadets are SMP at that battalion so why wouldn’t I enlist and be issued...

“Are you looking at SMP as a way to help pay for college or are there other reasons?” I don’t need the money for college just the experience

I don’t know if I will have been awarded any scholarship for the last board until probably mid April. If I was to be awarded a 3 year could I still do SMP and just do the split option or can I take a semester off and still get that 3 year. Also what would be the benifits of doing SMP vs just...

That’s a big one for me as I’m 50/50 on going active or reserve.

im currently leaning towards army but would love to see what the air force has to offer my first choice school has both army and air force. If anyone has any experience with one or the other and their differences and similarities if you could share that down below I’d appreciate it thanks!

Ya they have a Facebook page but not much info on it at all same for their website it’s really a shot in the dark at this point that’s why I’d like to have the meeting with them before hand to see if their program is something I’d really want to be in or if I should choose a better school. I do...

I’m meeting with my top choice school in a few weeks and having a meeting with the assistant PMS I’ve already got some questions planned to ask like battalion size, what branch do most people get awarded, when are the pt days and times, how are the labs, where is PT held, when is the first APFT...

I know it would just be like signing up for a class right? Should I contact the schools rotc program and send them an email or a text saying I plan on enrolling in the fall or should I just sign up for the class with no heads up?
