    THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT

    Thanks to all who have provided information through the years of my DS applying for, and making it through AFROTC. My DS just graduated and commissioned, and I was the proud recipient of his first salute. There was a lot of hard work on his part and challenges to overcome, but all those things...

    LEAD

    DS finally completed AFROTC LEAD. This has been a saga. He is an Electronical and Computer Engineering major. His freshman semester was great and ended with a 3.5 gpa. He looked at the remaining schedule of 21 credit hours per semester for the next 3 years and requested, and was granted, a...

    AFROTC TECH NON RATED

    I am assuming that if a cadet graduates with a technical degree, the fields he will be placed in will be aligned with that degree to some extent. I realize that an Electrical and Computer Engineering Degree means the cadet could be placed in various fields to include the Missile program, but...

    Stipend

    Still no stipend or book money. DS had been told 1 DEC but that has come and gone. First semester ends in two weeks, seems rather ridiculous at this point. Planned on covering everything anyway so the book money is a payback, but would like to see DS get his money as an AS-200. Sent using the...

    AFROTC STEM success rate

    Does anyone know the success rate for Cadets actually graduating with a STEM degree that are in AFROTC? DS is in his second year at an SMA and it's been shocking to see so many Cadets losing their scholarship and/or changing majors. He is hanging tough but it's tough to watch Cadets you know...

    VMI STP

    DS just came home from STP. Despite giving up a month of summer fun at the beach and not seeing his girlfriend, he loved it. There was a lot of hard work but he stated he already developed great friendships and with his future brother rats and he would absolutely do it again.

    Cleared medboard

    DS cleared the MEDBOARD yesterday after taking a breath test to prove he didn't have any issues from being tagged with asthma as a child. Had I known what drama that diagnosis caused back then, I would have asked for a second opinion from someone other than a general practitioner who based his...

    R251.24 Code

    DODMERB webpage status reflecting R251.24 status wich is apparently a call for all medical records since DS was 10 years old.
