Depending on what you owe, it may be prudent to hire an attorney versed in this area of military law. The attorney may be able to secure a lesser repayment amount. More importantly, if there is an avenue for appeal, the clock is ticking and you would need to file one in a timely manner. best...

This is the reason I had my DD create and use a different email just for the nrotc/SA applications years ago. ;) But I get it, there are thousands of emails being sent to college seniors this time of year daily!

This is spot on advice. If your son 'lost his scholarship' how was his tuition paid for the remainder of his courses? And if it was 'lost' then he would have received notice of it and would have been the subject of a PRB. Anytime any of the mids fall below a requirement- GPA, required course...

Thank you for sharing this. There is not enough support out there for male DV victims, and rarely is it recognized. Sadly, like the sailor you mentioned, many endure it for the sake of the children. Also prominent, as others mentioned, are issues with alcohol or other substances. I feel for...

Thank you for the update. I am sorry your son and your family had to cope with all of this. I also truly understand the 'unforgiveable sin' comment, and I am sure others may take issue. However, after having my own child take a LOA due to the .03 below required GPA I get where you are coming...

Why not have your child attend both, to see which one is preferred. Most will allow you to attend as a shadow or for an 'open house', as my youngest went to both and shadowed. This can give you a better idea of what group might be a better fit. Our Sea Cadet program does have a wait list, and...

While I am glad you paid the ticket, never 'assume' that it is not a big deal...there may be ramifications later on down the road/ The better process would have been to go to the court date or have an attorney appear on your behalf to enter into possible plea bargain. The other ramifications...

I thoroughly agree with this assessment! I have to wait 6 months to see a specialist! So, exaggerating one's symptoms to be seen when needed is something I think many can relate to. I also agree, sadly, that despite the 'concern' to help people with mental health, whether temporary or...

I can only imagine your conversation with said concerned parent! Thank you for posting this. It always amazes me how some people don't have a grasp on either reality or consequences of their decisions. "But.....[insert reason/excuse etc]...."

It may be very worth your while to contact an attorney that handles traffic matters in that state. At least in my state, the attorney may appear on behalf of the defendant with proper authorization. I can tell you that in the courts near me, it is always in your best interests to go to court...

I wish you engaged counsel prior to the board. Something as important as this requires someone who is more knowledgeable than yourself, If you have not done so already, hire an experienced military attorney ASAP. I think you only have 5 days to file an appeal. Best of luck to you and I am...

While none of us know your circumstances for the PRB, hopefully it is nothing that serious which would merit disenrollment. You can search the boards here about advice on how to best proceed if you are the subject of one and truly wish to continue to serve in the military in any capacity. best...

In my humble opinion, if he does get the scholarship, I would suggest he take it now and start school at the school in which he was admitted. He may end up enjoying that school and unit more, but perhaps more importantly, is that if he gets the scholarship, there is no guarantee that he will...

Good advice listed above. However, if there is no jrotc unit, have you looked into whether there is a Sea Cadet program closer? That may also be a great opportunity. Best of luck to you, and as the others have stated, keep on your grades, PT, and being involved in activities where you can...

You have taken great steps to help yourself moving forward. Regarding the PRB, your personal statement is very important. Taking ownership of your errors or weaknesses in the past and having a concrete plan on what you learned and how to remedy it moving forward is an excellent step. However...

I can appreciate your difficulty with the challenging major and poor grades as a result. My DD switched from Tier 1 to Tier 2, even so after her Freshman year she struggled to keep the gpa above the line for once it is below it is really hard to get it above again. Consider if there is a Tier...

There is some good advice that others have provided you here. While none of us know the whole story- only you are privvy to that. However, should you be faced with a PRB, you need to take action to respond to it like a leader- since that is what you are training to do going forward. You will...

This hearing is only being done only because 7 people got severe blood clots, yet both moderna and pfizer also have risk of blood clots at similar or same rate as astra zenica....(adverse blood clots were also documented). It boggles the mind why it is just for j&j...this is perhaps another...

I don't know the answer, but I have heard that you can drop weight healthily by starting intermittent fasting and keto diet which has helped some others. Best of luck to you

First, know that you are not alone. This feeling is so much more common, especially now with so much going on in the world. Jarhead had some good advice to start minding a healthy diet and increasing a routine with exercise. I might add that you should try to get some outdoor time- whether...
