Been to both several times. She’s Italian heritage and never been? That’s a no-brainer. And to Sicily, if possible. You can DM me if you’d like and I can offer up my knowledge and help (I’m on West Coast, too.) But without a doubt, Italy ALL THE WAY. Her 50th is about celebrating HER. Let...

Thanks for all of this! Would you say to also stay the night of graduation, too, therefore 3 nights? How does grad day go, as far as their release?

I would recommend meditation. Seriously. This practice will help you in the next chapter of life, as well.

Not sure about all minors, but I do know that if you take classes (perhaps that lead to a minor) in certain languages, it can add points.

Have DS check his spam folder.

Check your junk mail for DODMERB message! It often goes there!

A couple years ago, my DS received the same letter in October but won a 4-year AROTC on the 2nd board. Waiver request was automatically submitted on his behalf and was granted. Don’t lose hope.

Hi there! I saw your post about your son’s background, and mine’s is very similar, only he’s currently a MSIII. Can you tell me if your son branch detailed, and if so, to which? Why or why not? Thanks!

Your school may offer your family financial help. I’d take the tests. If not for USMA, scores may be helpful for plans A, B, C.

Do you have X-rays and confirmation of degree(s) of scoliosis curve(s)? They are going to want doctor’s confirmation and possibly letter. (My DS has scoliosis and is AROTC 4-yr winner.)

Apply AROTC. My DS had scoliosis surgery and USMA didn’t request waiver. He received a 4-yr on second board and waiver was approved.

Have you compared with posted targets? I’d say you’re good.

Really good idea. Would Class 1 also be right for Army, ie helicopter AND fixed wing?

Not sure if this is still valid, but according to page 1, I’d guess so. https://www.xavier.edu/military-science/documents/usacc-clip-b-instructions-160208.pdf

UPDATE: DS got his CLIP-B pay!

Got this from DS yesterday and thought I’d share, for those inquiring minds.

My DS went to Kyrgyzstan last summer as a rising MSIII and 4-year winner. Another cadet who also participated from his batallion was surprised he got it since he hadn’t done the domestic program first. He had, however, been studying the language for years and had already lived abroad twice.

You should have received an email (check your JUNK) shortly after you were awarded the scholarship.
