Pima, I appreciate your opinion. I did not sign rated paperwork. Flying has never been a desire of mine. Additionally, I recieved a nonrated, nontech slot to FT, so going rated is not even an option for me.

I was wondering if anyone has heard any word as far as commissioning options for AFROTC, class of 2016? As many are probably aware of, last semester, those commissioning in May 2015 are/were given the option to commission into the Reserve/ Guard. I believe this is an effort to reduce the number...

jct95, adding on to what Bruno said, if SEALs is the goal then enlisting may be the better option. I am in no way acting as if I am an expert on SEAL stuff but from what I have heard, it is actually easier to make it through BUD/S as enlisted because not only do the officer SEAL candidates...

Nick0726, I just finished knob year at The Citadel. If you have any questions don't hesistate to ask. But at the end of day, both schools are going to give you an experience that will challenge you beyond anything you have ever done before, both physcially and mentally. I am not exactly...

BTW, Full Metal Bulldog, reading back over the posts, You may not want to tell too much. I mean, it is important for these future knobbies to get to experience the food and the other amenities without any bias. You never know, they may end up liking it.:yllol:

First off, Full Metal Bulldog what company are you in? DISCLAIMER: Anything posted hereafter is not intended to be rude or disrespectful towards the OP. However, it is intended to make the OP think and consider his point of view. Jct95, first thing is first, we need to address your reason...

Pima got it right on the dot, again about the scholarship. I highly considered applying for the CSO/ABM scholarship, but eventually decided against because it would limit my job choices down to one. Also, it just seemed like there were too many risky variables (i.e. not passing CSO AFOQT...

My det recieved 10 total ICSPs. This seems like more than the average. 9 were given to 100s and 1 was given to a 200. I know 3 of the 9 were awarded through the express scholarhship program this year, which obligates the recipents to be be either an ABM or CSO after graduation.

Dunninla, You're right I don't know and I am just guessing. It's just pure speculation.

Take my opinion for what its worth as I am an incoming freshman too, but the less unnecessary "gear" you have like knives, flashlights, multi-tools, etc the better. The more stuff you show up with that is not required, the more you may get chewed out by the upperclassmen. It's like the...

A 980 SAT is on the low side for acceptance to both schools. However, scores are not everything. Athletics, extracurricular, and service hours all play a part in the application process. I highly recommend you take the the test again to see if you can get a higher score. Try to get a...

Here is a link on the school's website specifically pertaining to your question: http://www.citadel.edu/root/computer-recommendations

Although my school paid for it, it was not worth it. Yes it may get looked at on a resume since it has the word "leadership" in it (I say that with apprehension), but the seminar themselves did not teach me anything about leadership. I felt as if half the times we were making a craft or playing...

If she can get a leadership position on her tennis or softball team or in student government that would help increase her chances. I would also encourage her to try to take the ACT if she is unable to improve the SAT. Many that do not do too hot on the SAT do well on the ACT.

I am not an alum, but I will be attending The Citadel this Fall and have visited both schools. From your post, it seems like you have weighed the schools like this The Citadel:better reputation, less chicks NG: little less better reputation, more chicks I assume you are a guy since you...

I am not trying to change the thread subject, but I have a quick question. Why are standardized test scores taken into account when attempting to obtain a spot? It seems as if the AFOQT is a suitable replacement, especially since the ACT and SAT was taken in high school. I am just trying to...

I will be attending the Citadel Success Institute this summer in the July term. When I did my pre-knob in November I talked with a couple cadets about it and they said it is well worth doing. They mentioned getting some credits out of the way is really helpful because you can focus more on the...

I received a letter from VMI today notifying all those attending for the Class of 2016 will not necessarily be able to pick which branch they do for ROTC due to downsizing. The letter basically stated that those who either have a scholarship or paln to contract with the armed forces will have a...

I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine they would not let you send them in after the date if it is the your high school that is keeping you from making the deadline. The date is most likely there so they don't get people who procrastinate to send them in to late. But again, I am not...

Yesterday, I received my acceptance letter from VMI. Thus, I have to make the decision between the Citadel and and VMI. For the past couple of months have thought that the Citadel was where I was going to go. However, I think that was mostly due to the Citadel accepting me first. Nonetheless, I...
