The thing about the military is you cant do anything without paperwork. That's a lesson they start teaching in ROTC and is VERY real on active duty. If your records are clean and you went to field training and you've signed your contract to the government.....I'd be surprised if the cadre can...

My 2 cents, ask them for specifics about what specifically they think you need to mature in before you commission. Just saying you're not ready for leadership is vague and unhelpful. It's also not a very solid foundation for disenrolling someone unless there's a piece to this that you're not...

THANK YOU!! Its funny how Luigi, who is so deeply in love with facts, somehow manages to leave half of them out every time...I was going to ask how he accounted for the fact that most of the student body are white males, and if he considered the fact that those percentages probably applied to...

Right back at cha. http://staging2.dcmilitary.com/images/trident070909_photos/8096_512.jpg This is what the naval class of 2013 looked like. So obviously the fact that STEM was half minority in 2008 didn't deter these kids from seeking appointments in 2009 now did it? Like usna1985 said, STEM...

Jeez what a hater. It's funny how people like to point out that the admissions process for the academies are biased towards minorities, but completely skip over the fact that they are extremely biased towards non minority kids who tend to be more well off. NOT SAYING THAT ALL NON-MINORITIES ARE...

So first we are passed over for good jobs because of our skin pigment. Then, after 400 years of stunted educational and economic growth, we are resented for being given so-called "special treatment" because, of course, there is no way a minority could beat out a white male in a "fair"...

But do you actually HAVE an NROTC scholarship in hand?

Oh OK, thanks for the link Packer. I have only the seen max scores so I was curious as to how Sophos knew he failed the running part in the first place. But I agree about shooting for the max. If you shoot for 100%, you'll never have to worry about passing.

two questions What is considered a failing run time for the pfa? And: "If nuclear engineering is your first interest I'm curious why AFROTC as opposed to NROTC. NROTC loves nuclear guys." Does the Air Force have a Nuke program too? As it was one of the majors one could select on the...

Well, thankfully I have two wonderful and supportive parents who, despite their very...very humble beginings, rose above the expectations of pretty much everyone around them, so I personlly only have to deal with the geographical and educational disadvantages(which are charging to the surface...

Oh OK then, I apologize Pima. I was hoping that that wasn't what you were saying because I've met people with that mindset and it really ticks me off, but I've read a lot of your posts and have come to respect you (even though this is all completely anonymous lol:shake:), so I was a little...

What do you mean by undeserved urban areas? Are you saying that just because I live in an area with low poor education systems and low income families that we are undeserving of more opportunities to receive the higher education that so many of us dream of but can rarely, truly afford? Why...

Oh ok, thanks for answering my question:smile:

I keep seeing people on scholarship refer to the dodmerb's physical and medical tests. I am unsure about what they look at. Is it just like getting a physical? Do you also have to take some sort of PFA during it too?

Nav84, what were her stats for receiving the scholarship?
