I can tell you that my son got a 3 year offer in late May of 2021. Have a plan B, but Plan A might still work out! Good luck!!

No. Khakis and a polo or shirt and tie.

I went to my son’s AROTC orientation, and I found it valuable. It was at a different school, but it helped me learn more about the program and how it works and it was also nice to meet older cadets and talk to them.

Try contacting the local recruiting office. My son was in a similar position when he graduated, but they had already given out all of their sashes. They pretty much have to be ordered in advance. You might get lucky though!

If it’s not important to you that he has an ROTC scholarship, then I guess you don’t have to put down any other schools. If this is truly the only school that he wants to go to, then that’s fine, but know that he’s not guaranteed a scholarship to begin with and he definitely is not guaranteed a...

While there is no requirement, it can be very beneficial. My child visited the campus and had the PMS interview in person. The interview was at the same school he wanted to attend. While he was not awarded a scholarship through the boards, the unit was given three scholarships to award to...

ERAU also has Cyber Security, Business, Global Intelligence, Homeland Security, Meteorology, Aviation Management, Forensic Psychology, and other degrees.

My son is trying to clear Dodmerb. He just finished freshman year of college. We pulled his records to send in the medical records request for his adhd meds, which he stopped 5 years ago. He also took Prozac at 12 for a short period of time as it was suggested it could be helpful with some adhd...
