DS just called - he got his first choice - AD Infantry! He said he feels like he is just floating! And it's his birthday! Happy Birthday, DS - we're proud of you!

I have to admit that I'm really nervous.

Thanks everyone for the info. It seems like yesterday that I was checking this site every few hours (minutes!) to see if the scholarship notifications had gone out. Now we are waiting to hear what the Army plans to do with our DS/DD. My DS is hoping for the Infantry - he has ADSO-ed for that...

I'm just wondering if any of you 'insiders' are hearing rumors on when the branching notifications for our Army ROTC seniors will be released. Thanks!

Thanks so much to all of you for sharing your knowledge here. It is so wonderful to have a little insight into what's going on at LDAC. My DS is in the 7th Reg. His girlfriend had a note from him yesterday (this is the first that we've heard from him). He confirmed much of what's been said here...

Thanks for posting this Marist. Our DS didn't pass the first time. It was his technique on the PUs. He did great on the run and sit ups. Of course we were surprised as he was. He was disappointed and we were too. After reading the other posts I was getting even more discouraged. But his...

Thanks Clarkson - we'll look that up.

I would like to hear some thoughts on the idea of being an AROTC Cadet and NCAA athlete. My DS has accepted an AROTC scholarship to an state university. Now there is a possible opportunity to try out as a walk on for university sport team. When we first met with the ROO DS asked about...

KevDawg - I'm so happy for your son! What was his reaction? Now let's hope and pray there is more good news for everyone still waiting!!!:thumb:

TuckerTroops - thanks for posting. It's great to hear from a military wife and mother - that you have loved the military life! It's so encouraging to me because we have no military experience. And like so many who have posted we've gotten some push back from family and friends - but our DS is...

Congrats! Great news! Do you have any idea which school?

Don't give up! It's Saturday and there will be more offers on Monday and probably Tuesday! I hope that you can find something fun to do today to help the time pass. So sorry you're discouraged! Sending you my best wishes and prayers!

SCcandidate2015 - are you from South Carolina? I think I've read that you are planning to go the Citadel, is that right? Just curious if there is another SC connection.
