    DS has completed CULP application but is struggling to choose a region. Leaning towards Europe with pacific and south being next choices. Anyone with CULP experience have a recommendation as to "best" region? He doesn't want Moldova because 2 fellow cadets had awful experiences there. Would LOVE...

    CIET summer 2015

    How will this new requirement for MSII's affect things like CULP or slots for Airborne or other special schools? Just curious because DS is a contracted 4 year scholarship MSII working on his CULP application with aspirations of going to Airborne this summer.:smile:

    Culp 2015 application

    I saw somewhere (may have been on this board) that the Culp application process opened Sept 15th, however, the link to the application still has last year's information. Any idea when the new application will be available? Thanks in advance!:smile:

    AROTC Scholarship Payments Delayed indefinitely

    Well, DS scholarship money for Fall semester was finally received by the university this week. What a relief! As usual, the members of this board were correct. If we have learned nothing else from our short experience with the military/ROTC, its the hurry up and wait mantra.:wink:

    AROTC Scholarship Payments Delayed indefinitely

    Thank you for your responses. We did pay his fall tuition upfront and were told by the university that it would be refunded as soon as they were paid by the gov't. I was just wondering when that typically happened. If it's April, so be it, at least he's receiving his stipend and book money. We...

    AROTC Scholarship Payments Delayed indefinitely

    Payment to school?? My DS was able to contract once the gov't shutdown ended. He received his stipend and book money right away, but his fall tuition has not been paid and the spring bill has already arrived. Can anyone give me an idea how long it usually takes for tuition to arrive at the...

    ROTC Scholarship tuition payment

    DS is a 4 year scholarship recipient and was all set to contract when the government shut down. Batallion is simply waiting for word from the government to resume contracting. As a result, the unviersity asked us to pay last semester's tuition so DS can register for spring semester. They assured...

    Options for contacted MS1 Army??

    DS really wanted to apply for CULP, but due to the shutdown he can't get contracted until the government gives the battalion the go-ahead. We had hoped it would happen when the government went back to work, but battalion is still waiting. Everything is done on DS's end and he is very concerned...

    My DS is a 4yr scholarship recipient. He is currently in the first semester of his MS1 year. He has mentioned to me on two occasions that he is considering joining the SMP in order to gain more OML points. I have done some cursorary research through older posts and it looks to me like this...

    Think you are prepared?

    Just for clarification, what cadets score throughout the semester is obviously very important, but it is the December scores that are posted whether they are your best or not? :confused:

    104-R

    Is the 104-R typically filled out once a cadet arrives on campus for freshman year? My DS is a 4yr scholarship cadet. He hasn't been sent anything from his university yet with regard to paperwork. He does have to report to school a few days before the other freshmen. I assume this is to do ROTC...

    New ROTC cadet needs

    Is there a particular multitool you would recommend? We have looked at all sorts (Leatherman, Gerber 600, etc), but I don't know what type might be most useful to a cadet. Any input is appreciated.:smile:
