Congrats to all the 2019 appointees! FYI, find your local Parents' Club as soon as you have your appointment. Most clubs will be having a send off party for you and your family in June, but unless your ALO passes along your contact info they won't be able to contact you to invite you. The liason...

There was also a first class cadet (senior) who was very badly injured while skiing Keystone. His helmet saved his life. Praying for the families! Here's a toast to Jack!

When the 1st board ended, people's status changes either went to "awarded / winner" or "boarded". It seems weird that those awarded from the 1st board didn't go to "boarded" for 2 or 3 weeks before changing to "awarded", but is that what we are looking to see from the 2nd board? I haven't seen...

Bumping this thread. Anyone have a status change to "winner" from the 2nd board yet?

Falcongirl: Underwear and V-neck undershirts ARE on the checklist for guys, yes? The instructions said to bring 1 1/2 weeks worth. Is this correct? If everything in our backpack is on the "Bring" list, do we carry the back pack around the whole day or do we drop the bag and just carry our...

cleats small bottle or face stick should be fine to start off with

shoes for BCT Is there any reason to bring or wear running shoes to Iday/ BCT? The "recommended" molded cleats...more useful than running shoes or take in addition to? Can I wear my own running shoes later and have them brought to Parent's Weekend if I don't bring them to BCT?

So apparently my invitation to report this summer isn't being extended to my wisdom teeth. The appointee handbook is the 1st thing I've seen that says appointees should have their wisdom teeth removed at least 6 weeks before reporting. Anybody else get blind-sided by this? Seeing the oral...

finally I finally got an email from someone who worked on my packet telling me I was not awarded the NROTC MO scholarship. No worries though, I received an appointment to USAFA this morning! Still waiting on final word from USNA. Congrats to everyone awarded!

FL-01 Senator Marco Rubio / NJROTC :jump1: I got an email saying there was a new notice in my USAFA portal regarding my status! It says, "Congratulations on your appointment to USAFA"!!!! Got the TWE last week from West Point and still haven't heard from USNA or the NROTC MO scholarship but...

still waiting here My portal still says, "at MC district board for selection". No one who "worked" my package claims to know anything, other than "everyone is notified in April". 4.5 weighted GPA, 3.89 unweighted top 1% of class; AP, Honors, Dual Enrollment 31 ACT Outstanding letters of...

still nothing :unhappy: still waiting for notification...apparently the board met 2+ weeks ago now, but no results have been released. Still waiting for the big 3 Academies to make their decisions about me too. Hurry up and wait...welcome to your life in the military!

not a problem You will have to take a minimum of 12 credit hours PLUS ROTC each semester, no matter what, but as long as the credits are earned before you graduated high school they don't count against you for ROTC. Never fall below 12 plus ROTC, I just had a friend lose his scholarship because...

competition Asheigh, your comment about "mom not wanting you to be involved with the pubic schools" raises a few red flags. I suggest that you go read some of the USNA, USMA, USAFA forum threads where candidates have posted their "stats" or resume/bio/profile info. I don't think you have a...
