DS was asked to supply his college transcripts with the form provided through the portal. The problem is that he will not have his transcripts available until after the semester is over. Should he send his class list in the meantime or wait until the semester is over?

I know DS will find out in October, but I was wondering if anyone here knows about availability of funds for the Illinois AFROTC Tuition Waiver. With the financial condition of the state and cutbacks in military budgets, I was wondering if anyone knew to what degree it will affect the...

DS just did a preliminary PFA for his ROTC detachment and scored a 98. He is now trying to increase his pushups (he was just a few shy of maxing out) and his 1.5 mile run should get better before the test (at the end of this month). I can't remember, but does his PFA score get submitted in...

I had thought there was one already started, but after looking at the thread titles, it doesn't appear to be the case. There was a thread about Plan B and back to AFA, but it was more about the logistics than starting a support thread. So, here it goes.... DS received QNV (for those new to...

Well, it looks like my son's chances at USNA will go by the wayside... A slight colorblindness issue was discovered with his medical. He could see red and green dots, but had troubles seeing the pattern they made. He is not fully colorblind, though... You can mix up red and green markers all...
