It does not matter how you commission as far as "Spec Ops" goes. It is about the person. Do not disregard ROTC. You can participate without a scholarship and it gives you another route to get nominated that is what I did and I will be attending in the fall.

No offense bro but knowing multiple Rangers and SF team members they will tell you that the simpler the physical training is the better. It's not complicated Run, do push ups, pull ups, dips, rope climbs, sprint and ruck. Do the thinks you will actually be doing. Don't get caught up in the...

You could be correct on the regional aspect potentially only to the 25th and 10th mountain but Im not really sure on that.

The answer is yes we are both right. The badge and the tab are the same thing. They are not two different schools or anything like that. The thing that @army2021 hit on about the Units is that you can have the badge but not be in an Airborne unit. If you have the badge and are in an Airborne...

Except you can earn an airborne tab, not just sapper.

I would agree that the SMP route is a good way to go for commissioning but I disagree that it is the best route to get to USMA as a ROTC cadet at one of the best University's for ROTC who also has won the MacArthur multiple times in the last 10 years. I will be attending USMA in the fall and I...

I had a P nom got a 3q'd letter and my offer of appointment all in the same week or so. Not really sure why mine came so quickly but am very thankful.

I don't really have any different recommendations to make than what has already been said but I didn't get in first try and my package was similar to yours maybe a little bit stronger but I did ROTC for a year got a ok GPA and I'll be attending WP next fall. So if you don't get in keep trying!

Man it is never to late, find another club or start volunteering. Did you apply for SLE?

Yeah that mile time is weak. The man above is absolutely correct if you get in you better take up running as a hobby. He mentioned the minimum but rarely anywhere in the Army is the minimum good enough. You need to be running sub 14:30. Thats the high end of where you should be.

Yeah thats my GPA and I got it, its not about one thing it is the whole package ACT/SAT, sports, extracurriculars, leadership ability...... and so on and so on.

What is low?

et81 / Myself / No LOA / Appt. Feb 7, 2017 / Accepted / WI-01/ Principle Congressional Nomination, and ROTCS Nomination

Dude relax. Get the best grades you can, do extracurriculars, have fun. You can stress about that stuff come senior year. Not saying to not take school serious now but don't over think this. You are a sophomore this is just not the time for this stuff enjoy high school!

Also man look weather you go see a doctor or you decide this is nothing. You really only have to answer to yourself and if you believe in a greater power in this world then him too. With that said I don't believe you need to give up on your dreams. I think if you got to this level without help...

I think you should go see a doctor, no offense to anyone on this forum including myself. There may be a few but by and large we are not Medical professionals. The responsibly, honorable and what any real man would tell you to do is know when you need help and go get it. If it is nothing than you...

Bro not trying to be a jerk but read your first post. You said you feel like you see things that aren't there or are afraid of things that aren't there. Idk what branch you want/will end up in but yeah that could cause some issues if you are leading a platoon.

"A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."

Yeah well this is the definition of hurry up and wait. Like I busted a$$ to get all those green check marks. With that said it is just now about to go into February so we have plenty of time. There are much worse positions to be in than 3q'd with a P nom.

I am in the exact same boat. Does anyone know if we would be notified this week or would it be in upcoming weeks?
