Just letting the world know that The Citadel received their components today, so ya'll can add that to all the bated breath discussion going on.....

This may not be the perfect section to post this thread, but I was wondering if any of the several parents/mentors on this site who have experience with law enforcement careers have any knowledge regarding railroad law enforcement? I've considered working for a Class I railroad (CSX, UP, NS...

Ready, Set, Stat Me! FYI, I go to an SMC, but give me y'all's opinion on how you think my chances would be for active duty if that were not the case, I'm looking for pointers and advice more than "so can I be a Special Forces Officer now?" Thanks ya'll.....just took the second APFT...

Is the AROTC Student Loan Repayment Plan (SLRP) still a thing? If no one knows, who would be the go-to person to ask? And..... Can ROTC cadets still apply for the USAA (or maybe it was Navy Federal....forgot which offered the service to ROTC commissionees) career starter loan beginning their...

I was pulled aside during lab today and was told that I am selected to be cadre for CIET this summer. In order to facilitate summer plans those of us selected as cadre were given our CLC and CIET dates, All told I'll be at Ft. Knox from June 11 till Aug 9th this summer.

If you wanted to fly B-52's or another bomber platform (forgive my ignorance of what the most up to date Air Force airframes are), do you track T-38's or T-1's at UPT? To me T-1's make the most sense but I have heard it was T-38's. If that is the case, why not train bomber pilots on a heavier...

The military issues everyone Corfam shoes, but most SA's and SMC's issue/require old fashioned leather. I know wearing leathers is allowed (at least I've seen several AD officers wear them), and I personally feel they're more comfortable, but is there any kind of negative ring-knocker or other...

This forum is a plethora of info on some of the minute, nitty gritty details of being a JO, but there isn't too much about the typical daily grind of the life of one. Anyone care to share what's it like being a 2LT or an Ensign? When ya'll woke up in the morning or what you actually did at...

Have any of ya'll ended up commissioning as a NG or Reserve Officer, either voluntarily or no? What are some of ya'll's experience with being on that side of the army? Good, bad, ugly?

Yesterday it was announced that due to budget cuts, we only get 9 school slots this year (includes Airborne, Air Assault, and Mountain Warfare). I'm not as furious as most are because of this, as I'm more concerned with getting a 4.0 this semester than continuing to wake up at 5 am 5 days a...

Having a hard time finding any relatively current information about this. Anyone know about any annual or otherwise frequent balls that either a Citadel or Army ROTC cadet would be qualified to attend? Also, would Citadel Full Dress suffice for an event such as this, or would I have to find...

If a cadet at a school can no longer afford R&B at the school with which his scholarship is assigned, is it possible (ie probable) for his scholarship to be transferred to less expensive school so that he may be able to afford housing so they can still commission? This is concerning AROTC.

I recently completed my first land nav FTX last weekend. Never before had I ever done anything besides plot points and the other basics in a classroom setting. Found 7/8 day and 4/5 night. However, I made a conclusion and I would like to start a discussion here about it. Many say that with...

Is there a standardized selection method across CC for CULP, or is selection up to cadre discretion? I was told last year that I would be one of the first ones signed up for a CULP application, but I was wondering if that statement had any facts behind it or if it was just the cadre assuming so...

I once recall seeing an Infantry O-3 wearing his Expert Rifle and Pistol qualifications badges back before school ended. I didn't think Officers were permitted to wear weapon qual badges? Maybe its "allowed", just not kosher in army culture? Maybe it's ok if you were prior enlisted? Any...

Are there any USNA events where plebes are welcome to/encouraged to bring dates along? Such as any dances, etc.? I'm trying to schedule a weekend or two where I could travel up to Annapolis to visit my girlfriend, and if there were any date-oriented events, that would be great!! Thanks!

Ya'll are probably starting to think I have way too much free time this summer :D However, I did stumble upon this and it definitely looked interesting enough to post: Functional Area 40: Army Space Operations Officer I'm definitely not lying: there's a badge that goes with it...

If I were to say that I had a really good idea or two (the main one that I really want to bring up is admissions and public affairs related) that I would want to discuss with someone that has a say-so at my school, how would I go about doing so in both an assertive yet respectful way? How would...
