Now what did I say wrong? On another note, is anyone here familiar with the process or people specifically at UC Irvine? Please PM me so I can pass on information to another cadet in JROTC battalion. Thanks.

My DS's S3 and B sqad Captain found out today that he received a 4yr to UC Irvine today when my son made him log on to the Portal... His grades and participation level made him pretty sure he was not even considered... Hehe... He was wrong!

Congratulations again. I can only imagine how great that must feel, but I am trying.

I tried to let this go and move on, but you just won't let it go. Is that what you mean by sticking with it?... Just keep kicking someone when they are down? I read your earliest post, and followed your career online. You we're one of those applicants with less than stellar academics that...

I do not see a delete button on my tiny screen, can some mod please do as I am asking?

I apologize, you are correct. Upon reading this after a short sleep, I have NO idea what I was thinking. If I can't delete that post I am asking the moderator to do so, now.

I apologize for not understanding... I know the acronyms but I dont understand the problem... Is it that your DS wants to go active duty BEFORE he completes his education or that he is stuck with some lousy numbers from his past that are keeping him from advancing? I am just trying to learn...

Luckily you don't want to stir up a storm. I cant imagine how crude and insulting you could be if you tried. I wasn't going to take the time to respond after having so many nice and intelligent people here help us through this, but candidates like you are the reason I personally am not in favor...

I apologize. Again, I was told that although the cadets work at it all year long, that the actual appraisal is done at the conclusion of their sophomore year. Please educate me further.

In retrospect, the advice from his SAI that indicated that his athletic achievements within the JROTC program, which should have and do apply at some high schools, did not afford him any points on this application. In order to maximize his points he should have remained a Cpl. rather than...

Can not do well on the APFT until after the freshman year, so if that is the deciding factor, then they must only offer them AFTER the

The question is, do they offer the brigade level 3 yr scholarship before the freshman year, or after the freshman year? I understand that in either case it only pays for years 2-4.

If you are not awarded a 4 yr or a 3 yr from National, are the 3 yrs given out at the Battalion level for Sophomores after their freshman year or before their freshman year. Is it sort of a 'guarantee' that if you pay for your freshman year, and pass your 1st yr cadet training that they pay...

The CBEF, from what i've read is standardized test of the candidates personality, experiences, and general psychological fitness for a leadership position. Depending on what you Google it has several descriptions and interpretations, but it seems to me to be a generalized personality test. One...

Maybe some candidates are NOT selected for scholarships and THAT is the real test, to see how bad they want it? That is an expensive test.

Yes, you can take a year off to raise your test scores and take classes not offered at the USAFA, but you don't skip your freshman year, it's 4 years in any case. The thing is, if the psyche test they administer is correct, and you are honest when you take it, then statistically speaking, you...

It doesn't matter who's fault it is. There are no "take backs" or "do overs". You get only one opportunity, so cross your fingers.

If "I" had looked for this board in the first place, it is unlikely we would have found ourselves in this position. So there is that. My son was guided by his battalion SAI both into the JROTC and (unknowingly) into the Army rather than the USAFA (which was his original intention). I don't know...

Thank you for your concern and help, the problem has been resolved. Congratulations again to everyone that received their scholarship offers to the schools of their choice. Well done.

It wasn't his achievements that he expected to help him succeed in ROTC is was his achievements that he expected to help him earn the opportunity to have his education paid for so that he could be both a successful engineer as well as an officer and leader. Although my son was blessed with...
