Hello. I received a 3-yr AD scholarship to 3 of my top choices, but I want to attend Clemson and transfer the scholarship to that batallion. I submitted my transfer request on March 3. I spoke with the ROO at Clemson who said it hasn't come through but he thought it shouldn't be a problem. Any...

Good morning. Are the height/weight measurements taken for the DoDMERB exam the same as the requirements for AROTC? In other words, does a candidate need to meet the published ROTC PFA stats at the time of the medical exam or is the height/weight for the exam just a general examination that...

Hello everyone! Our family could use some guidance to make some decisions. Our son was given an Army scholarship to his top 3 schools, one of which is Penn State and none are at a senior military academy. (VT, Citadel, VMI, etc...). He only applied to ROTC programs. The other programs are at...

We've been looking everywhere for this information, and for whatever reason, we can't find it. DS was just awarded a 3-yr ARTOC scholarship. Will his DoDMERB exam be scheduled soon, or will it be before his scholarship kicks in his sophomore year of college?

DS is getting a maintenance message today when attempting to log in. Anyone else having this problem?

By "it", I mean an appointment for DS. I'm just curious what the possible obstacles may be to DS receiving an appointment. We live in a highly competitive area (this is based on what's written all over these forums, what we were told when visiting USNA, and what the senator's office told us)...

Yesterday I happened to log in to his application, and midway down the page where the Nominations section is, there was an update. It says: "Nomination Source: Congress/Senator 2." The date given is Dec. 13, 2017 So, does this mean that he has received 2 nominations? From the USNA website...

Hi all- DS is taking his CFA this weekend, and since the website is down, we don't have any forms to use to record his performance. What should he do? Thanks!

Hi all, I've been looking around and searching, but I can't seem to find the answer. For AFROTC do we select 3 colleges and NROTC 5 colleges? This is what I was told by a friend who went through the process a couple of years ago, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks!

DS is a homeschooled junior (attending his CVW as I write this!). I learned about Boys State through this forum. When I contacted the Registrar he told me they were interested in reaching out to our homeschool community to recruit kids for Boys State. DS had his interview a couple of weeks ago...

New here on this particular forum, and I have a question. DS is interested in USCGA, and we took a look at the course of study for engineering degrees. I have a vague idea of what type of work he would do right after graduation, but what kind of work do people do if they choose to leave after...

I have a son who is interested in USNA and ROTC, but he's not passionate about it...yet. My husband and I see so many ways that ds' personality, interests, abilities, and drive would nicely match up with military training, at least in college. We could see him easily adapting to the training...

I struggled with how to phrase the subject line for this question. I may not have done a good job, so please excuse me. What I'm wondering is if all applicants to all academies/ROTC programs are applying out of a deep sense of patriotism. Of course, there will be many motivators for many...

Thanks to all for so much great information. I've been soaking it up as ds is contemplating applying to USNA (he's a rising junior). Where can I find some information on what USNA grads do after school ends? Will ds be on a boat? Sub? For how long? My husband and I really don't know how that...

Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a couple of months and have learned a TON. I would love some direction for my ds, a homeschooled sophomore. He's a third degree black belt in tae kwon do, loves working out and weight lifting. Our school district prohibits homeschooled high schoolers from...
