DS is now a contracted, and he is overjoyed. Selected for Color Guard and the Northern Warfare Challenge, and is more than proud to wear the uniform every Thursday. Question: He had to take out a student loan his first year, and he wants to start paying that down so that he doesn't get socked...

Well DS learned a lot at CIET and came back a young man:) Looking into the future his major in school is Russian. Does it make more sense to hone his language via Project Go or should he just apply for CULP. It seems one is more language orientated and the other is more of a culture...

If we understand the new merit system speaking and writing opportunities are included in the point system (if this is incorrect please feel to correct me). The question is how does one submit articles and to who and where? Are there topics ROTC are looking for? How does one go about obtaining...

Well DS made it to the airport and lo an behold the flight is cancelled. I'm looking forward to hearing the story. Great opportunity for him and the other three to work together and grow from this experience. I'm sure this is not the first time flights have been cancelled and I see that two...

DS is going to CIET and is noncontracted, but he needs to get boots. Was looking at Garmont T8 NFS but boots won't be here until June/July so too late. And I thought Coyote Brown was the new AR 670 color, but DS is saying Desert Sand. So do we just go for a decent boot that is Desert Tan and...

Hello all, did a search but maybe this question was buried. MY DS has a three year scholarship, and perhaps he is explaining this to me incorrectly or I am just not listening. If given the opportunity to sign a contract right away, instead of waiting till the beginning of his sophomore year...

Hello all. As a proud parent of DS going to school on a 3 year Army scholarship we still need to pick $ up over the course of 4 years room and board and then some of the first year. Only choice we have is to do a private loan since FAFSA only helps a little. Anybody in the same boat and who did...

Stupid question but all exams are shown on DoDMETS as being uploaded and to click on the link to DoMERB tricare. Do I just use the same username and password? I try and I can't log on. Do I need to create a new account, or does it take a couple of days.

Ok my DS and I have been reading this forum to have a better understanding of what to expect and we have received some great advice. Is there anyone on this board who is attending one of the Flagship Language universities (studying Arabic, Turkish, etc...) and can speak to their experience? For...

From what I read a bottom retainer is fine (been in for 3 years after braces). But do I need to fill out the orthodontic questionnaire for ROTC. I didn't see any form of the sort on DoDMETS. Have completed the vision and auditory screening, next is the medical exam. If we need the form filled...

What have others done? DS is 75% positive on his first choice school, however he/we do want to check out his other school choices. But the Army ROTC letter is due March 1, and we cannot check out his second choice until a few days before. If we send in the letter with the first choice checked...
