    ROTC Scholarship Questions

    I guess i plead ignorance When DS started the application process we were told to apply for everything. We went about that as good advise. We then started visiting colleges. When I described what we were doing to an Army Col. in Virginia, he was quite offended. How could we fill out...

    ROTC Scholarship Questions

    ROTC Application I see people on here that have multiple ROTC and service academy offers. They act like that is a badge of honor. To me it looks self centered. Especially with the service academies, you have screwed a friend or a neighbor out of his chance at an appointment. We have too...

    DS will go to college locally unless he is offered an AD 3 elsewhere. It seems like the Army colleges are willing to add my son's name to their list of applicants for a campus based AD 3. The local college seems content to let the non-contract students enter ROTC and compete for the 10 or so...

    Who really cares?

    Loans What is the best place to find a loan for college? We have done all of the FASFA stuff. It will only cover a portion of the total COA. It is too late to do the Reserve or National Guard thing without missing a semester. The PLUS loans aren't very tempting.

    Army ROTC

    Marine PLC You should have seen the face on the Marine recruiter when my son said that he would take Army ROTC and apply for the PLC. Don't tell the Marines you are doing Army PLC. Keep doing Army ROTC until you have to sign the Marine PLC.
