I heard of lots of cadets getting sent home for busting tape, and as always any SHARP or EO cases get sent home. Unfortunately CNN (cadet news network) always has conflicting reports of what really happened. I was a 6th regiment cadet, and when we did land nav we had cadets from 2nd regiment...

Where DOES the time go?? Thank you!

Thank you! I'm excited to commission! Yes, the 127 cadets who made the poor choice of cheating at land nav made land navigation for the rest of us a freaking nightmare. The guidance we received before running the course was: if you come back with anything written down that isn't on your map...

Right now, I'm 99% sure I'm going to branch Field Artillery. Maryland has already guaranteed me a spot, and I'm waiting to hear back from Virginia. There's a slight chance I could go Engineer and enter into a sapper company. That'll all depend on where I get a job! Thank you!

8(ish) months until I commission? Something like that. I successfully completed AC this summer, and now as long as I don't assault anyone/fail a class/get a DUI, I'll be a 2nd Lieutenant here in a little while! The best advice I got this summer was the success of the Army depends on developing...

From what I've gathered, a lifetime of convincing other officers that "it's like west point, if not harder." Seriously though, college choice has approximately 0 effect on the type of officer you will become. Focus on your degree first, ROTC second.

Just offhand, if you're reading this in the future: Don't be afraid to sign stuff when talking to a recruiter: i.e. a contact card or something. The only time you'll sign the dotted line is when you're actually at MEPS, not a recruiter's office... then it's ok to be afraid LOL

FA BOLC is usually TDY, if he's on PCS orders that means it'll be his first duty station!

Your DS needs to be reaching out. I'm not sure how the on-campus process goes, but it wouldn't hurt to have your DS call your ROO and see if he can set up an interview with the PMS. Anything not in direct writing with the military isn't guaranteed.

I mean he's not WRONG

I usually send them this: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=How+do+I+join+NROTC%3F

Probably one of the easiest ways to get answers in the military, and cadets/midshipman neglect to use it.

Pfft, if I wanted to watch a football team win consistently, I wouldn't have gone to Ole Miss! Let me see if some of my buddies would want to head down that way, I've always wanted to watch a game in Athens!

Thank you, friend. I'm 21 now so I'd love to have that beer one day!

Hey man, I just got out of a very long and very unhealthy 2 year relationship, and I'm kinda in the same boat right now. Lots of anxiety, lots of stress. I'd tell you it gets easier, but really, you just end up with more and more responsibility. It doesn't get easier, but it does get better...

Oh man this has gotta be an instant ban right??

"How to get a thread shutdown speed-run" lol Veterans will always complain about the military after they leave. "well when I was in..." you get the picture. Veterans should be proud the military is adopting to a new generation.

How did an MSI get an air assault slot?

No. Enjoy your last summer.

I made hot toddies this past weekend after drill. Really hit the spot after a few cold days of laying in the mud! I added a cinammon stick and slice of lemon, it was a good drink and relatively easy to make!
