    drug use of past

    I am already a recipient of a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship and I start school very soon. On the paperwork I was completely honest and wrote the date of the occurence and the fact that it was one hit of it. I feel horrible but I can't see them revoking my scholarship for a one time thing. Its not...

    drug use of past

    Just wondering, I have smoked weed once in my life, I only took one hit and I haven't smoked since. It was September of '08. Does admitting that I have smoked weed take away my ROTC scholarship?

    AROTC PFT for contracting

    I'm going to VMI in about 5 days so I have 2 options. I can either get to VMI at 1500 hours on the 21st to do the pft, or I can have "a local recruiter, JROTC Instructor, or any Active Duty, National Guard, or Reserve Soldier" to administer the test. My question is how would I get in touch with...

    websites...

    I was wondering if any of you knew of any good websites that are basically dedicated to keeping the public (or those of the public that are actually interested) knowledgeable about what is going on with the current war on terror. Basically, do you know of any websites about the progress of the...

    made my decision.

    Sweet man. Yeah, I'm sure I'll bump into you at one point or another. The school isn't too big. It's too bad we can't start a facebook group like people going to the normal colleges to. But from what I hear making a "VMI class of 2013" facebook group is a bad idea.

    made my decision.

    More or less a combination of things. Since I'm going to be an officer in the Army I figured a military school will help me reach my potential better than a civilian school. The AROTC program at VMI is a lot better in my opinion than what I saw at Loyola. Plus VMI has the majors I want, and I...

    made my decision.

    After the long, frustrating, and just all-around hard decision making process between the normal college life and the military college life, I have made my decision. I am going to VMI with an Army ROTC 4 Year scholarship. I'm pretty psyched about it, and thank you to everyone on this forum...

    AROTC offer...

    Well I just received the official letter and paperwork stating I have received a full AROTC scholarship which I am extremely happy about. But it says it is pending me being medically qualified... I'm assuming that means whether or not I receive the waivers. I hope to God I get them.

    AROTC offer...

    Well I hope your right. I still feel like I could get a notice saying that it is pending me receiving the waivers, but I will remain positive. And even if that is the case, I sure as hell hope I receive those waivers.

    maybe i'm just stupid.

    Is there a way to register for the overnight visit on VMI's website? I probably just overlooked it, but maybe not. I e-mailed them about my interest in it with no response. I guess you have to call?

    AROTC offer...

    Hey, I just got a letter in the mail from VMI congratulating me on the Army ROTC scholarship. It said I would receive official notification of my scholarship soon. I am confused because I still have not heard back about whether or not I have received the 2 waivers I need. I'm assuming that...

    Waiver granted!!!!!!!!

    Congrats man! I'm in the same boat as you but I am still waiting on the waiver. Did you just write the "request waiver" letter or did you send any additional information from your physician or something as well? I don't know if I should just immediately send the "request waiver" letter or...

    Arabic major or minor at VMI

    Okay thanks for the info. At VMI how is the academic day structured? Is it like high school where you go to each class one after another? Or do you only have certain classes certain days, and the rest of the time is spent studying? I'm just curious how the academic class schedules there are...

    So if I put Arabic down as my #1 language preference, am I guaranteed to get it or is it pretty competitive?
