Hello, all! Contracted MSIII here. I am looking toward obtaining a concealed carry license in my state (Ohio) and under Ohio CCW laws, the process of getting a license can be expedited if one has: It is my understanding that AROTC Cadets are technically in the reserve component of the US...

I am an MSIII on a 4-Year AROTC scholarship hoping to branch into my state's National Guard as a Signal Officer for 8+ years. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to explain the process of selecting a slot/unit for the NG from ROTC. My evaluator, an MSIV, explained that there are...

If you/your cadet had trouble last month with getting paid only a fraction of the stipend or you/he/she did not receive a stipend for May 1st, Cadet Command is still working out some kinks from the error from last month (April) and will pay these missed stipends in a few weeks. This is coming...

Looking on myPay, our school's next LES, due for the 15th, is now for $58.33 instead of the usual $175 (the MSII semimonthly allowance). I haven't had a chance to speak to our finance manager yet, but seeing as how $58.33 is exactly 1/3 of $175, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a...

Thought I'd share this article from yesterday for discussion. Before the election, I was disappointed more people hadn't heard of the fiscal cliff or sequestration. Now awareness is up; results not so much...

I am a sophomore cadet in AROTC and currently have braces. I am scheduled for jaw correction surgery at the beginning of summer 2013 (around May; my school's summer break is from the first week of May to third week of August) and will have some braces on for a number of months after the surgery...

Hello all, Question: If a cadet commissions out of ROTC and has to wait a significant amount of time to go to BOLC (say 9-15 months), does that count as time in IRR toward his/her service obligation or does the MSO begin when BOLC B is completed? I keep hearing issues about that purgatory in...

http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2012-07-30/army-guard-reserve-training/56595948/1 : Thoughts and opinions? Personally, I don't see how any reservists could keep (or find) full-time jobs with such an expansion. My dream is to go into the reserves (I'm MSII in ROTC) so that I...

I have read many threads on this forum discussing and speculating on sequestration and various forms of cuts to all ROTC programs and I wanted to see if any new information had arisen now that we are (relatively) nearing the end of 2012 and sequestration has been showing up in the news more and...
