    Seeking Virginia Tech Corp of Cadets Parents Group

    Reply Thanks Nick, I found a Yahoo group, but it doesn't appear to be active. I have seen the U-tube Q&A for Corp of Cadets. But, I've found this forum so helpful, I was hoping there might be a group specific to VTCC. Are you ROTC?

    Heard from NROTC Wow! My son just heard he received his NROTC Scholarship at Virginia Tech! He is so pumped! This was his first choice for ROTC schools. Anyone else out there at VT?

    Orientation

    Open House observations Thanks for posting your experiences at the Open House. For those of us who weren't able to attend, it makes it easier to "imagine" what it was like. Especially helpful to hear what was said. Does anyone remember the Pirate remarks? I suspect my son is getting...

    No, They are step brothers. My son commented the other day that since they've lived together for so many years, "it's going to seem weird" to go their different ways. Thanks for the welcome!

    OM Gosh.. My school staff is SO DUMB!

    A little education goes a long way.... Julie, You must be so frustrated! This is a huge deal. I'm hoping her school staff gets educated on this issue and sees it for what it is. Keep us posted on where things are. Stand up for your Girl! She needs you in her corner.....

    Best ROTC Programs?

    One son will be going to Texas A&M. The other son liked VT, but was late getting his ROTC application in. At this point, I think all the slots for NROTC are filled at VT. First son had to switch NROTC to AROTC because all the slots filled VERY early. If you are looking to go this route, make...

    Who is still waiting?

    No mail today Called admissions because he was "penciled" in for overnight. No mail, but called admissions and found out he was "wait listed". Supposed to receive a letter in a few days. Any idea how long the "wait list" is??? Congratulations to those who have received an appointment!

    Hybrid ROTC programs Both my sons looked at Virginia Tech and Texas A & M because of their "hybrid" programs. They are sort of cross between the Military Academies and regular ROTC programs. Some of the differences include wearing uniform to classes, housing and eating together , etc. It...
