    Will I get offered a AFROTC scholarship?

    the navy nrotc scholarship definitely understood homeschooled. instead of having a lot of varsity letters, i substituted some national rankings in a martial art. as mentioned above, the problem might be your prts. i wonder if they couldnt judge how competitive you were in club sports and then...

    Applying to VMI and The Citadel after a break :X

    just curious, since i'm at vmi and not citadel, maybe i'm not getting this same experience. vmi's 4th class system also is really tough, but we still have more commission than not at the end. but ive read that 2 out of every 3 citadel grads tho dont commission. why would you say youre deciding...

    VFT situps

    btw, this is the video on the ratline i saw. but as i said, for me at least, seeing the video, and thinking i knew what i was in for, and then experiencing it myself up close was 2 different things completely: http://www.wvpt.net/shop/doc-007.html

    VFT situps

    bruno is probably right since he knows the whole vmi thing. but i was just speaking from my perspective from in middle of the ratline not knowing if i'll make it or if i'll be one of those who never come back in january. i'm sure there are going to be some since there were even some leaving...

    kemp, something that isn't even in the vft which will really help u as a rat at vmi is getting good at pushups. as rats we do so many pushups, sometimes its rediculous. as punishment, i've been forced to do 160 or so at a time until my arms didnt go the next day. they will push you until your...

    VFT situps

    my opinion is that improving your 5k time is much more important in preparing for vmi than ur 1.5mi time. its because vmi just requires so much endurance and stamina from a rat. if ur 5k time sucks, i'll be honest, youre going to have a tougher time. a side benefit is that improving your 5k time...

    Possible Transfer to The Citadel

    recommednation letters must have been something new in 2013. i don't remember even a place to put letters of recommendations when i put in my app for 2012. maybe i accidently left them out. but it ended up not hurting me for admissions.
