Both have pros and cons. I am just trying to figure out the best route for me. I want to major in Arabic, have a MI MOS, eventually switch to civil affairs, and post military, I want to be a missionary. The main thing that I want out of life is to help the people in the middle east who are being...

I thought that no credits transfer? Also, does it really matter if I go ROTC vs. SA?

I am doing ROTC. I am a senior in high school but am spending it in college. Also, I can't apply for the ROTC scholarship because I have too many college credits but my individual school can offer me one if they see my commitment. Even though I would have to stay in ROTC for 4 years, I wouldn't...

I am a senior in high school but I am in a program where I am attending college full time and getting high school and college credit. By the time I graduate, I will have 46 college credits. Almost 2 years of college out of the way. Also, I am in an Army ROTC program. Should I pursue West Point...

The National Guard does have a certain amount of slots. I have spoken with my stepdad some. He is an officer in the National Guard. I see what you mean though. I will most likely go straight in from being a civilian. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Thank you for helping me. I will try to work more on my language skills and less excuses. I make mistakes and in the future, I will remember things such as this so that I may become a better person in what ever I do. However there will always be more mistakes to be made. It is how you respond to...

My apologies. I am more of a math person. Usually I am good about reading posts multiple times before submitting them to verify that they are grammatically correct. Plus, I would rather not be given an advantage for being female. I want to make sure that I am qualified for the right reasons. To...

As far as AP is concerned, you should take as many AP courses as you can. Weighted classes are also good as long as you do well in the class. They can help boost your GPA. As far as Physical Science is concerned, I don't think that that counts as Physics. I took physics this past year as a...

That is true. I have taken that into consideration as well. However, I don't want to rely on that advantage. I still want to do everything I can to help my chances of being excepted. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

If I don't make the academy then I plan on going to college else where and joining ROTC. So I would have a better chance at acceptance into the academy or no if I enlist first? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Should I enlist in the Army at 17 before my senior year, so that I would already be enlisted while attending West Point or go straight from civilian life to the academy? Which one would give me a better chance at being excepted? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Thank you :)
