    DIEMS for USMC PLC

    What would be my Date of Initial Entry into Military Service if I joined Marine PLC my freshman year of college. I'm asking because I'm trying to find a way that I can join the Marines and have the option of either the new retirement plan or the old one down the road.

    Reserves at Virginia Tech

    Am I competitive?

    We send a lot of kids to UVA and William and Mary. We do place more kids than average since we're military and boarding. But yes, I am pretty worried about my class rank. Do you think I have a shot at NAPS or Foundation if I don't get accepted?

    What is Bancroft Hall like? What are the rooms like? Do firsties live with less roommates than plebes, or do they get some other kind of barracks privileges (personal bathroom, etc.)?
