How is LDAC scheduled? I understand that the program is 4 or 5 weeks long. So, is it held twice each summer? Or are they able to squeeze in 3 sessions? When do the sessions begin? Is there a set schedule like the third Monday of May, 4th Monday of June, etc? Thanks.

On another thread I read this As a mom, I had an A-ha! Stocking stuffers. What else could my son use? And, if you have time, please educate me on the purpose of the items. For example, I have no idea why a cadet would want black duct tape, but I'll get some. And, what are ranger...

Something appears to be changing, but I haven't seen any official word yet. For example: HS class of 2010 received +/- 2,500 four-year scholarships. Prior years were +/- 4,000 scholarships. 5 scholarship boards last year. Only 3 this year. Son's BFF at UDel wants a 3-year scholarship...

Son received his AROTC scholarship offer on Dec 18. As of today, Dec 30, the DoDMERB website still has no record of him. I understand the Christmas holiday may have delayed the transfer of data from Cadet Command to DodMERB. But, how long does it usually take? Thanks. (Oh, I guess I...

Son completed his AROTC interview on 8 Oct; today is the 14th. Cadet Command has no record of the intervew (yet). Typically, how long does it take for a PMS to score an applicant and enter his notes in the Cadet Command database? Does the PMS operate under any sort of deadline? Thanks.

Is there a centralized list of reasons DoDMERB has DQ'd an applicant? Thanks.

My son's next step in the AROTC app process is to schedule an interview with the PMS at a school of his choice. The PMS is a LTC. So, what does Son use in the greeting of his email request? "Dear LTC Smith?" "Dear Lt. Col. Smith?" "Dear Lieutenant Colonel Smith?" "Dear Col. Smith?"...

Son submitted his Army ROTC scholarship app last night. After printing out the hard copy, we discovered that the athletics section was messed up. It recorded him as a baseball and basketball player. He's not. He's track/cross country and "other." (He clicked "other" for martial arts.) This...

What's it like for a cadet to attend college at one school, but have ROTC based out of another? Consider that the schools might be 30+ miles apart.

When do 4-year scholarship recipients contract? Is it as soon as scholarship and college acceptance are in hand? Sometime in spring of 12th grade, after all boards are complete? Upon arriving on college campus at the start of their freshman year? Also, is it possible to decline a...

Sorry. Newbie. :redface: I've seen these expressions in a few threads and don't fully understand them. It sounds like a review committee. But, what is the connection to months? "September boards" "October boarding" etc. Do all apps go before boards? Or just those that are...

I'm very new to the AROTC process and am trying to find my way throught all the "what ifs" that come to mind. This one just occured to me: Under the "rules" of college apps, a student must enroll at his ED school if accepted and withdraw all other apps. Under that scenario, would an AROTC...

Hi there. I'm new here. I was referred by someone on collegeconfidential dot com when I asked for the best place to find AROTC info. We attended a college fair last night. DS was rather ho hum throughout the whole thing. Then, just as we were about to leave he asked, "Mom, where's the...
