    Lost Opportunity?

    The law was not involved. It was handled entirely by the school.

    Lost Opportunity?

    If a kid has good academics, good leadership and extracurriculars but has one serious blemish on their record do they still have a chance of getting into any of the acadamies? The blemish was a result of drinking alcohol at a JROTC drill meet. The punishment was 5 day suspension from school...

    Jobs for USMMA

    What is ship surveying? Money is not typically the right reason to do something but like it or not it is a factor. What might be a typical or average salary for a new KP grad as well as one with 10 years experience? In the current job market how are KP grads doing in finding jobs? Thanks.

    VP Nominations - Last Chance

    Your point is understood. If there were no cadets that washed out or left early for any other reason each MOC would have 1 appt each year and 2 every 4th year for an average of 1.25/year. 1.25/yr x 535 MOC's = 669 appointees/yr (on average) due to MOC noms. That still leaves a lot of...

    VP Nominations - Last Chance

    Pima - There are only 535 MOC's. 535 x 5 =2675. It seems that it may be politically easier to reduce some of the other appointment sources than tell Congressman XYZ none of your nominees are going to get appointed.

    NASS Application Update

    Can you update your application after you have submitted it? If ones PSAT scores are on the low side but anticipates much better SAT scores on the 10th should you wait until the SAT scores are available or apply with the PSAT scores and update with SAT scores later? Thanks

Since it became "under consideration" he has made a few updates when better test scores came in and new leadership opportunities came his way. Will...

    Thank you everybody. One of the schools he is interested in is a x-town affiliate. If he goes to a x-town school does he have to travel to the primary school multiple times per week for classes/training?

    AFROTC Scholarship Chances Dependent on School?

    Thanks for the info. For AFROTC it isn't going to matter which schools he selects but if he applies for a NROTC it might make a difference? I don't think he wants to apply to AROTC. His first choice is a SA (AF,Navy or Army) but if he can't get in to a SA he is interested in ROTC but only...
