    AROTC and Alcohol

    What great information. The minute I saw this post I made my DS read it. I have always told my DS if you don't put yourself in a questionable situations you won't have to worry about how to get out of it. This is were the "make good decisions" lectures come into play. I just hope he has been...

    Thanks for the Congrats. I was really glad to hear about the multiple offers also. I thought there would be just one like most from the January board. This was not his first board. I know he was board ready for the January board but I am not sure if he was for the October board. He sent...

    I would think that is the reason for the 3 year at The Citadel as well. The ROO was not from The Citadel and did not know the reason for sure. The Citadel is out of state for us and that raises the cost greatly. I guess we will find out for sure when we speak with them later this week. I was...

    School Choices I received a phone called about a hour ago from a ROO at one of my DS's choice schools. Yes, on a Sunday afternoon. I am so glad he called. Now I have all of the information to surprise DS with tomorrow when I pick him up from the cruise ship. ROO also said DS should receive...

    Status Change DS's status just changed. I am so excited for him. I can't wait till Monday...he will be back from his cruise and I can tell him in person. Can a ROO at one of his choice schools tell me the school or schools? I hope everyone else receives good news also. I am keeping my...

    I know he will not check his e-mail. He was ready to have fun. Plus I would really like to give him hopefully good news in person. He called me from the ship to let me know they were on and he has not been to his room but had already found the food. Typical teenager.

    He started running in January. He could not run during football...had to keep the weight up which was hard for him...he played center. His weight might be down some but not to 180. We spoke to a couple of ROO's about the height/weight issue for him and they did not seem to think it would be a...

    A story some of you need right about now...

    Bullet, what a great story. Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to share this with my DS. He was the 5 year old when asked what he wanted to be when he grew up would answer a General and has never changed his mind.

    Just checking in....I'm glad someone started the March thread. We are still waiting also. DS has been DoDERB qualified since the first of January. He checked in with the ROO at one of his choice schools on Friday and was told of their 50 AROTC scholarships allotted they have only been awarded...

    Engineering is his major of choice and Auburn is one of his choice schools. From what we have learned though Auburn's AROTC scholarships have been greatly decreased in the past few years. As a parent Auburn would be a great choice for him....it is not too far away plus he has a merit...

    I thought he probably should updated them because he put 7 school choices but has only applied to and been accepted to 4 of those choices. Of the 3 choices not applied to, one (Georgia Tech) would be a long shot for him, one he is not interested in anymore, and the 3rd he is on the fence about...
