Specifically for Engineering majors and those going into reserves. For those commissioning, how long is your wait time for BOLC? I know everyone is different. I would just like to know a general time frame. thanks

DS received an engineering internship this summer. He said he would be in St. Louise Missouri (but that may change). Would greatly appreciate any information or suggestions on this program: length, housing, experiences, etc. Thanks

Hi all, Looking into this program for DS. I could not find a link to apply. Do any of you know how? DS looked on his cadet command portal and didn't see anything. Does it go through his cadre? He is checking into this as well. Thanks..

Hey All, It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've had a lot going on, like a wedding, graduation, and just life in general. I still come on this site everyday to keep up with what's going on. But quite frankly, there are so many others on here who have an abundance of knowledge that...

I know every year this subject comes up. But this year I only have one question that I don't remember the answer to. I've checked old threads but didn't see it. So please forgive me if this is repeated. Will ROTC send a W2 or any other form that states the amount received for the scholarship...

As I hang my flag outside today, I am overwhelmed with emotions. Thanks to all who have served.. Your sacrifices and service are greatly appreciated.. Especially to all the CADETS who are beginning this journey. Without your desire, belief, and faith, we could not continue to enjoy all of our...

DS is going to Mongolia for CULP.. Does anyone know what type of communications he will be allowed? Will he have phone access or email access? Or will he only be able to call home once or twice a week if any? Checked with cellphone provider. He can get prepaid minutes with our plan for a...

Houston, We have a problem. DS has a blue passport. He needs a red for CULP. DS sent all paperwork and blue passport back in Feb. to get a red one to go along with the blue. Neither have been returned. DS called the National Passport Information Center last week and they told him it was...

What are y'all thoughts on the possibility of changing the hats for the Marines? Is it worth spending all of the money in this budget crisis to make them more gender neutral?

Hi everyone, DS called to say that he is attending "Dining In" tonight. All he knows is that he wears his dress blues and will meet several dignitaries (I guess local). Is this like an initiation type of dinner or something? Is it battalion specific or AROTC? If anyone could shed some...

Ok, I'm a bit confused.. Husband. Just asked when DS's official obligation to the Army begins. He received a 4yr AROTC scholarship and has contracted. For some reason I remember it being said that his obligation begins when he walks back on campus for his sophomore year. However, he stated it...

Crazy question. But I see posts with "sent by Service Academy Forum mobile app". Is this a special app? I don't see it in the apple store. How can I get it?

Searched forum and found diagnostic APFT mentioned. But what exactly is the difference between APFT and diagnostic APFT? DS passed first APFT but said that he has his diagnostic APFT this morning. The only thing he thinks is the difference is to see who needs remedial PTs. Thanks

Hey all, Is there a list of summer program options for AROTC cadets? If so, where can I find them? Found a couple on GoArmy.com like CULP, LDAC. But was looking for MSI or MSII cadets, if possible. thanks

Hey all, I have a question about Sappers. Today is the first time that I’ve ever heard this term. Had lunch with DS who is now a freshman cadet with AROTC. He mentioned an interest in this section/dept. of the Army once he graduates in mechanical engineering. So I went online and researched...

Hi all, I've searched the threads for answers to my questions but found most to be dated. So I'm not sure if the responses would be the same today. I'm confident that you all would have an answer to my question. Sorry if it was answered recently. It was mentioned in another thread but exact...

Lately someone was asking about the AROTC officer presenting the 4 yr scholarship at the high school level. Well, I just wanted to say how impressed we were with the LSU dept. of Military Science AROTC. Last night, not one but three dignitaries attended my DS senior award ceremony to present...

There are several threads this post could go under. So I thought that I would just post a new one instead of posting the same info over again. This is strictly just FYI about our experience this week. Maybe it might help answer someone’s questions. My DS received a 4yr national scholarship...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what "complete hold" means on the DoDMETS site? Does it mean that everything was complete and transferred to DODMERB and the hold is left open in case further evaluations are needed?
