    Chances of attending ROTC as a grad student with DUI

    AFROTC scholarship question regarding additional information

    My DS checked with his detachment and was told most of the paperwork and forms will be signed at the detachment when school starts. Everything was electronic for him this year, no mail except for the DODMERB confirmations. The gaining detachment may or may not reach out to your DS depending...

    Type 7 to Type 2 convert question

    I can see why this isn't all that clear. This year's selection letter doesn't describe the school choices in any specific detail, other than to say "public" (even though we know conversions to private institutions are accepted and happen all the time). Further, the acceptance letter makes no...

    NROTC interview?

    I recall for my DS the NROTC online application process mentioned that a recruiter would call him. Regardless, a recruiter picked him up at our house and pushed him through the process rapidly, interview and all. It helped get him done quickly and he eventually was offered a scholarship...

    Meteorology major

    Congrats on the Scholarship! Choose a major (technical in your case) that interests you; if you don't like what you are studying it will negatively impact your desire to pursue a commission.

    Opinions on engineering Schools

    I walked the grounds of both schools with my DS when he was considering his choices last year. JMS is correct, the gut feel kicked in and my DS went with his instincts, and he threw out all analysis. He simply didn't want to use a bus system to get around the expanse of A&M. We did get a...
