    AROTC 3rd Board...Place to Wait

    I know most of you have heard this before, and I urge my DD to remember it (probably too often) Today, waiting on the 'Boards to light up' with decisions from the 3rd round is ONLY the first on many steps toward serving you country. AND if you do not get the decision you want, in those next...

    AROTC "winners"

    Ginko … may I ask what schools your DS applied to. Our DD applied for Nurse Corps too. With the cutbacks so many schools were no longer available. So curious to see what his choices are. Good luck! VMI82 Proud Father NROTC-USMC 4-year winner to VMI Class 2015+3 Proud Father...

    Differences between SMC and AROTC

    I respond to all the questions however the responses I get look as if I am made to look like a fool (not really complaining here just stating a fact) I think you did a fine job of making yourself look like a fool. And were you to state a fact, finally, no one would be more surprised than...

    Scholarship Transfer

    'tis the season for misgivings Okay … can you be more specific? 1. WHY SPECIFICALLY do you feel you made wrong choice of school? 2. Why did you choose the current school in the first place? What changed in 2 months attending? 3. Have you talked with your PMS and/or Detachment...

    Differences between SMC and AROTC

    I am currently at Va.Tech and I have been here for a semester and the reason I decided to attend an SMC is because I know that one can get an active duty commission on the spot upon graduation however I didn’t really consider the academic aspect of my purpose of going to this school since it is...

    Differences between SMC and AROTC

    GoArmy92 … this is very vague and I do not see a question. So I am going to ask questions to help flesh this out - not so much for you as I do not know your situation - but for others that read these forums in the future. 1. 'Throughout your time at SMC' - Well, GoArmy92 …. how long...

    AROTC Nursing News

    Agree & Disagree I agree that sequestration may lead down this path. But I do not completely agree with the purported savings. My wife is a Head Nurse of a Home Health unit of the local Hospital. I looked at GS rates for Nurses for past hour and they are well below Civilian rates. (Aprox...

    How many AROTC nursing scholarships were awarded last year?

    +1 to AROTCPMS - school choice may be more key than some think Ginko - DD asked slight variant of that question to Brigade Nurse. What she/we were told this summer was the Mission for Nurses was cut from 250 graduated per year down to 150. That does NOT tell us precisely how many 4-year or...

    How does school selection affect scholarship chances?

    + 1 to k2rider also: check with Cadet Command that the Nurse schools your DD is interested in are still in the program as there was a great reduction over the summer. 4 of the original 7 colleges my DD planned on applying to for AROTC Nursing are no longer able to offer scholarships...

    A shot at Army ROTC scholarship?

    SpecialK … my other suggestion is to go to your Library or browse online bookstores like Amazon or B&N and see what ACT books have highest ratings. I have tried posting links to books before only to be shot down :mad: BUT there are some excellent tomes out there on improving on the ACT as...
