    CLC news/updates....

    I did give DS all the stamps we had, and he took envelopes and paper. But he's not the best communicator, so I shouldn't be surprised. I was hesitant to send treats though, because when our other DS was at BCT, it wasn't encouraged, because they would get taken from him and others would eat...

    We unfortunately did not get a call. I'm still hoping for a letter though!

    CLC standardized testing....

    Ok thanks. I thought DS had said that it was now just "pass" or "no pass" instead of getting different ratings.

    Does anyone know how much the test scores are taken into account in determining whether cadets pass or not?

    Phases of the Ratline

    My DS, who is currently a second, would concur wholeheartedly with everything that has been said! In fact, I've heard some of those things, word-for-word, from his mouth. Excellent advice VMI82 and Bruno!

    Preparing for Matriculation @ VMI

    My DS matriculated almost 2 years ago with a 4 year AROTC scholarship as well, and we never had to take out a loan first. They accounted for the scholarship money up front. It was already in Post View when it was time to pay what was owed for the first semester. I don't think things have...

    Chances of VMI Acceptance?

    Congratulations! You won't regret your decision! Just hang I'm there when times get tough (and they will!), and remember the outcome will be worth it all!

    ROTC Benefits for VMI

    I agree that STP is expensive, but my DS was so glad he did it, and would do it all over again. He said it was worth it to lessen the load during his first semester as a rat. Also, you pay for your books up front, wherever you decide to buy them, and your book stipend is direct deposited into...

    New ROTC cadet needs

    One more comment on the moleskin issue. My DS did have some last year, but he found that the best thing of all was keeping his feet dry. When they went on marches he took extra pairs of socks. And when they took breaks, he changed socks. He never had a single issue, when cadets all around him...

    VMI Class of 2017

    Haha Bruno! I had to laugh at your last line! It's so true! Just as VMI cadets do not have an ordinary college experience, neither do mothers have an ordinary experience of their child being away at college. It's a weird and heart-tugging experience to see your child herded into the...
