One very unique career field that you might want to look into is becoming an ALO. Not an Academy Liaison Officer, but an Air Liasion Officer. It used to only be open to pilots who would be grounded for an assignment to employ Airpower from the ground to help accomplish the Army's mission, but...
So this is still "unofficial", but my FTP class has been notified that we need to report Friday morning to find out if we were selected for an EA. I wish the best for everyone else waiting.
Thank you guys for your insight! I'm currently a cadet in AFROTC, so I'm (hopefully) going to reach my goal no matter what. At the very least I have a drive to do so. While ROTC would undoubtedly be the quickest way for me to be commissioned (assuming I make the grades...), I have my reasons...
I apologize for the late response, finals are here and I was a tad busy trying to salvage some points.
I am on track to graduate in 4 years in a nationally recognized computer science program. My past two semester course loads consisted of a pretty regular freshman schedule, pre-cal, politics...
Hopeful19,
First of all, nice name!
Second, the application process is the same with a few minor differences. You have to send in your first semester transcripts before the admissions office considers your application "complete". I do think you are behind the curve with regards to just now...
How's it going everyone? I was hoping that some of you fountains of knowledge would have some insight concerning what I can expect if I potentially pull 2 C's in my third semester of college. Now, these 2 C's are in pretty difficult courses, if I do say so myself: Calc 2 and Data Structures (...
Good enough? I'd say that you're in the ballpark, but aren't by any means stellar.
The way I look at it, if you are going to reapply (and reset two years of college if appointed) you had better focus less on "am I good enough?" and more on "what can I do to make my (academic, physical...
For those of us still in limbo, here is a humorous little article from "The Onion". I thought it was funny from a re-applicant standpoint, as many of these ridiculous notions did cross my mind after the TWE came. It is a satirical newspaper, so don't take it seriously. Each of us happen to be...
I've been thinking the same thing, especially since cadets at the prep school are still waiting. I have to say, the admissions team is doing an excellent job of making the wait as excruciating as possible.
Thanks a lot, Nilet. That helps clarify some things for me.
If you don't mind me asking, what was your reported college GPA on your second and third applications. I'm just trying to ballpark that number for people that may want to know.
I'm hoping that I get in, but if I don't, I guess I'll...
Seeing as I could potentially be in your position in the future, I was wondering what your rationale was for leaving ROTC. Do you think that it was worth it to give up two years worth of college experience, as well as a Field Training slot, to start over at the Academy? How did your Detachment...
