    AROTC Advanced Camp 2023

    I second staying at IHG! You can walk to the ceremony, and great breakfast, too! Not a lot to do around there and everything is pretty much closed on Sunday, FYI.

    Waiver Approved for Scoliosis Corrective Surgery, VBT

    Hello and welcome to the Forum! My son is about to commission in May, despite having had thoracic VBT in 2018. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that your DD will get a waiver request on her behalf, but if she’s truly keen on serving, I’d encourage her to apply AROTC if she hasn’t already.

    AROTC Scholarship Thread - Class of 2028

    Out of curiosity, had you let them know you were a 4-yr winner? Regardless, congrats!!

    AROTC winner vs AFROTC board Feb 2024

    Just be careful in regards to a 4-yr AFROTC scholarship. They really aren’t guaranteed for four years, and cadets can be cut from the program after two. There was a huge issue with this a few years back.

    Dq before physical ?

    Did you send in all that additional info? I would imagine once his DODMERB portal opens, he can submit all of that supporting material. If it’s already open (check junk mail if the invite should have come thru!), submit NOW even without their asking.

    Dq before physical ?

    Isn’t the physical good for two years? And as I understand it, unfortunately, what they waiver one year may not be the case the next.

    ROTC Active duty/Reserves came out today.

    Super interesting reading the results on this subreddit. Gives good insight into how branching shakes out in relation to (or lack thereof!) OML/OMS.

    Bullying or hazing or what?

    This REAAALY makes me want to attach a clip of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket, but I’m afraid I’d get banned. 😂 “Is that a jelly donut in your footlocker?!….. I CANT HEAR YOU!”

    ROTC Active duty/Reserves came out today.

    If I understand your question, it has been changing year-to-year, I believe mostly due to COVID? Below is how a cadet’s OML was decided this year. After their points are decided at the end of summer after MSIII, those points are racked and stacked against all cadets in the country.

    FY24 Branch Commandant Ratings AROTC

    Not sure the total graduating for this year. I’ve read 5900 and 6100. There are about 3339 active duty slots this year. CDTs have to put in their final branch preferences by Tuesday and will find out what they got on Nov. 30.
