    Third Semester AROTC Nursing

    DS is about to start nursing semester 3 at SFASU. I am so proud of him; he is doing great! Looking forward to hearing about NSTP soon. He listed Germany as first choice. He's also attending CIET this summer. He won't be back home for awhile. :( Just thought I would check in. Thank you...

    ROTC/Airborne Pictures?

    My son mentioned a picture opportunity at Airborne and I tried to find a link to it. Of course my son is no help. So, you suggest I call Fort Benning? Was it a group picture? I was really wanting a portrait.

    ROTC/Airborne Pictures?

    One of my boys is at USNA and I get an opportunity to buy an awesome portrait every year. My other boy is in ROTC and just graduated from Airborne and I have no portrait opportunities! What's a proud mom to do? I googled. I searched forum. Any ideas?

    Air Assault Slot

    DS will be a senior nursing student this spring. He is at Airborne and is now inspired to attend Air Assault. Would it even be possible for him to attend Air Assault before he graduates? He will do NSTP and CLC next summer. Will this training be an option after commissioning?

    Path to CRNA?

    DS is an MS3 and in nursing school doing well. He is Airborne this week. :) He is talking quite a bit lately about CRNA training through the Army and is not sure which service assignments to put on his list at CLC next summer. San Antonio will be his first choice but what other slots should he...

    AROTC boots

    My DS got Nike. He loves them. The ones issued by battalion were heavy and gave him bad blisters. They also fell apart. Make sure you get the right color.

    AROTC Nurse Cadet to Airborne?

    My son is deciding on Airborne school tomorrow for Cadre. As a nursing student, would this training direct his career in any way? For example, would it keep him out of Fort Sam? He is hoping for San Antonio...

    Broken Plebes

    My DS had knee surgery during his plebe summer. He rehabbed at the Academy and ended up good to start the academic year. It was not good getting a call from a Navy surgeon two weeks after you drop your kid for I Day but he did fine! ...about to start his 2C year. :thumb:

    Random CIET Questions

    We were not able to go to family day or graduation. He said he did not want us to go... says he definitely wants us at CLC graduation. After CIET, DS says he loves the Army. He feels blessed to have the opportunity to get the training. He loves the organization, the structure, the discipline...

    3 year nursing AROTC scholarship

    Thank you so much for this info. He is only 19 and you never know how things will turn out but it is good to have an idea about the pathway to what he thinks he wants to do. It sounds like you have had an awesome military career. Thank you for taking the time to mentor newbees.

    CIET -Orders

    DS received airline information that included other travel info (per diem stuff) that I don't really fully understand. He also has official orders that include 6 copies of the same paper. Also, finally, he was able to locate a packing list. I'm a little worried about this list because he is...

    3 year nursing AROTC scholarship

    DS will start nursing school in January 2017. He is hoping to go CRNA, flight nursing, CSH or basically anything dangerous that you would not hope your son would want to do. Am I understanding that he will need to do med-surg for a year or two and then try to make a move into a combat unit...

    Managing ROTC and college

    My DS took a couple of difficult pre-nursing classes his first semester and he studied all the time. ROTC committments were numerous. I don't know how you could hold a job and take pre-med classes and do well in ROTC. We told our cadet that ROTC is his job and he needs to do a good job for...

    Transfer to ROTC from Community College Advice and Concerns

    Yes, I think your GPA is very good. My DS had a 3.4 for his first semester and he was ranked at #3 for his MS IV group. You should work on the PT test requirements. That score determines a lot!

    Random CIET Questions

    Thanks for all the info on eyewear. I learned that AR670 means Army Regulation #670. I assumed the number had something to do with the compression strength of the lens material. Ha! Over thinking this. DS was given all info but it is trickling to me in exasperated grunts and incomplete...

    Random CIET Questions

    Same question. Do they have to wear glasses? If DS wears contacts, is that okay? I noticed that he has safety glasses in the stuff they packed up for him at the battalion. He was told nothing about bringing glasses.
