I’m not really sure what you are saying? I know for a fact that a specific ROO lied to me because he said that his “personal sources” told him that “I was most definitely getting a 4 year scholarship”. It wasn’t the one that I talked to today, I was just wondering if it was possible I was being deceived again. I realize I don’t need a scholarship to commission, however if I don’t get one, the only other option for me to afford would be SMP, which I’d be fine doing but would rather not.
I do not think I was being obtuse, but I will restate my advice in different format-- perhaps that will help.
1. Does it matter if you are being lied to again? No-- the guidance for AROTC and AFROTC is set in formal policy, not the whimsy of some random ROO. For example, AFI 36-2011 spells out the entire AFROTC program. Have you read it?
2. You've pointed out in another thread
that you doubt you are capable of passing a DODMERB
3. In the same thread, you stated that your goal is to earn a commission-- you do not care which branch. In that event, why are you back stressing about scholarships again
before you have even begun?
4. And, let's address the real reality here-- you got passed over for a scholarship because you fell short of other, better-suited candidates in critical areas that mattered.
Then you jumped on here and
brow-beat those same candidates that earned their scholarships, which revealed a character deficit incompatible with military officers. In this very thread you continue to accuse others of misbehavior, while failing to recognize the fact that your current reality is 100% attributable to you and you alone.
That reality is on you and is something you will have to accept and overcome before you will be competitive for another scholarship. Have you taken any steps to remedying those personal areas where you are weak?
To get an ROTC scholarship at this point, you need to be a viable ROTC candidate. To be a viable ROTC candidate, you need to meet all requirements, including regularly passing the fitness test. To commission into the military, you need to successfully complete an officer training program
and be medically cleared-- AND you will have to convince other officers to actually let you in (who do you think will approve and administer your commission?). You've done none of the above yet, so why even bother worrying about the moral character of others at this point?
I hope that is more clear.
