Can you explain your tdy enroute process to FABOLC. Did you drive to Ft Sill, then return to your home of record to pack household goods, then drive to JBLM? Our son is at FABOLC now and is being told they don't get any time to return to their home of record to pack out....they need to have a...

Our son just went to FA BOLC at Ft Sill. After almost 3 weeks of quarantine he was able to fill out his finance paperwork. He said finance did not allow them to file a travel voucher and won’t be reimbursed any mileage to Ft Sill. This does not sound right. Any thoughts on this? I’m not...

Trying to find out whether the pay our Army cadets receive while at summer Advanced Camp is taxable? Our DS has not received a W2 yet, but reading on line it sounds like advanced camp pay is supposed to be taxable?

Any recommendations on whether newly commissioned Army officers are expected to get a mess dress right away, or whether the dual-purpose ASU w/bow tie is sufficient in their early days? With the new "Greens" coming out, not sure what to focus on for a commissioning gift.

I can tell from some of the responses that my question was a bit off, my DS completely understands that he needs to do better on the next test and will do so since he has always maxed out the test. My question was really pointed at whether a contracted cadet can lose their scholarship after...

It was a cadre member (MSGT), the Lt Col is not there this week and won't return until next week. They had a couple diagnostic PFTs last semester with the record PFT in the Nov timeframe. That's why he was so suprised when it was announced as a "record" PFT without advance notice this morning.

Similarly, my DS is a contracted MS-3 and just failed the push-up component of a surprise AFPT this morning my 6 push ups. He normally maxes out all components, but the grader did not count 25 pushups. He was told that he could lose his stipend and possibly his scholarship due to this. Is it...

Thanks...I too thought the stipend will only be paid after contracting but looks like some are getting backpaid as well @JLur

@AJC - prorated stipend only for half the month of October? Nothing for September?

@JLur - were you paid immediately or did you get paid at the end of the month, after it was uploaded?

Going through the waiver process.

The DoDMERB portal now shows that our DS was granted a medical waiver. Is there anywhere on the system that will show that he is now medically qualified?

Army ROTC approved our DS waiver today. A very relieved DS.

Tried again this morning and it still won't come up.

Does this mean that you believe tbe CC is more willing to approve med waivers now that possibly in the past would not be approved as well?

Wondering if anyone has heard from the AROTC or NROTC this week on their waivers (on the DODMERB portal)?

Our DS is regular Navy. Good luck to you all as well! We are hopeful all will work out.

Our DS was DQd by DODMERB on 10 May. Received approved waiver from AFROTC on 13 May. Still waiting on AROTC and NROTC review decisions. I'm hearing AROTC may be until mid-July at the earliest. No idea how long NROTC will take. The challenge being they are at different schools so having to...

Had similar comments concerning our DS who won all three service ROTC scholarships this year. Even more annoying than the jealous comments are those that think they hand them out like candy to whoever they can get to sign up. You have to just let it roll. I have found there are some in our...

Our DS request was to a much more expensive private institution so we were n't sure what the decision would be, but very happy they approved!
