Thanks for the insight!

I'm sure I could ask my ROO or Battalion commander, but I'll start here. If you are granted a three year scholarship, do you contract and complete all the forms like a four year scholarship winner? Secondly, is there a ceremony, or does the contracting ceremony come later for a battalion...

Thanks! That would be great. I'll talk to my ROO as well. I think we meet next week.

Would this be something an incoming cadet could do pre-freshman year? Starting international studies, and this sounds like an enriching opportunity.

Woohoo Signed last night. Three year to Brockport. Had a great visit last year before chasing West Point. Was 3qed and secondary nomination. Already over 300 for AFPT as I get ready. Here I come.

Still waiting for letter. NY. Congratulations to all. Hurry up and wait.:shake:

Any communication is a good note. I just became 3Q'ed this week after months of work starting last September. Of course, the journey for all of us started years ago. Congratulations and Merry Christmas!

ROTC help Good luck. What do I do for rotc; when do I start? Visited one fine, local AROTC and have address to national scholarship for rotc. Do I wait for strong score on ACT, and does my FF advise me?

My dad and I read The Long Gray Line, and may answer some of your questions. Despite being set during Vietnam era, it shows the preparation for officers before they deploy. This storyline may simplify things , but it basically echoes the insight I have from career officers.

Informative text by Couch. Fits stories and experiences of SF major I know that ran with my dad.
