    Hi there! I had ADD, applied to USNA, went the VMI route, earned a commission and just completed Naval Rotary Wing Pilot Training. I was diagnosed with ADD in the second grade, and went through different meds the entire time I was in grade school, up until my sophomore year, when I decided I...

    Quartermaster fees?

    Hi there! VMI '21 and Navy advanced standing recipient. First off, a huge congratulations on being awarded the scholarship and choosing to attend VMI. I used the GI Bill to attend, so though not identical situations, it is close enough for government work (I'll see myself out). For your...

    Visiting VMI

    If you’re stopping in Lexington, Macado’s is a Keydet staple, as is The Palms. Seeing VMI is half of the visit, make sure you go into town to round out the experience!

    ASTB Study Guide Recommendations

    It's no study guide, but this document details what is in the test, at least for the Performance-Based Measures. I used a Barron's ASTB book to help with ANIT prep. The Air Warriors forums would probably cede more information!

    I can't see myself in a sub.

    NROTC phone call

    I can't speak to whether or not it is normal.... but if you haven't already, take a long, good look at NROTC. I applied to the Academy, and didn't make the cut. Granted, it stung, but it turned out to be the best rejection I ever received.
