    AFROTC ICSP process questions

    DS is a first semester freshmen in AFROTC. There seems to be very little information in "how" the process works to award ICSP scholarships to cadets. We have spent considerable time searching the web but even the official Air Force site doesn't address the ICSP. DS says the detachment...

    USAFA damage from freak hailstorm yesterday?

    Did USAFA suffer damage from the freak hailstorm that struck the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo yesterday? The injury reports are sad: 14 people injured, 2 animals killed and 16 additional animal injuries. Over 300 vehicles were abandoned in the parking lot because they could not be driven off the lot...

    DS is renewing his passport this week before heading to NMMI. I know he will need the passport book. Is there any reason to get the card also?

    DODMERB good for 2 years - timeline starts when?

    DS had a USAFA waiver approved in February 2018. Didn't receive an appt so will be joining the AFROTC unit at his first choice school. I know the DODMERB results are good for 2 years. What I don't know is when the clock starts. Waiver approval date? Medical exam date? If he is selected for a...

    Is CyberOps in AF considered a rated position?

    I know that a cybersecurity/operations degree is a tech degree. And even though cyberspace is one of the 3 missions of the AF (Air, Space, Cyberspace) I don't think that cyber officers are considered rated only pilots. Is this correct?

    NFCU as a sponsored prep

    Are you eligible to open NFCU account as a sponsored prep at NMMI? We bank with a local credit union so it might be easier for DS to open a new account when he goes to Roswell in the fall. I'm thinking he probably isn't eligible until he is actually at KP. If that is the case we will probably...

    Letter draft for MOC nomination request

    DS has accepted a spot as a sponsored prep this fall. All of the advice we have seen indicates he should contact MOC and complete nomination paperwork prior to reporting to prep school. Does anybody have a draft letter to get DS started? One a related note, he fussed and fumed when I "strongly...

    USAFA/AFROTC waiver

    DS had a USAFA waiver approved last fall. He is joining the AFROTC detachment at his #1 choice school. How likely is it that AFROTC will approve a waiver since USAFA already did? I realize they are different authorities for the waiver approval but I would guess (my mistake, I know) that the Air...

    AFROTC question about EA non select/OTS still an option?

    I have a DS who will be starting college in the fall. Didn't make it into USAFA and is planning to join AFROTC at his #1 choice. Started the process too late to apply for the AFROTC scholarship. If a student is a non-select for EA can they still finish college and apply OTS? He is a technical...

    USMMA sponsored prep at NMMI - swimming instruction?

    My DS has rec'd an appointment to USMMA prep at NMMI. He is an okay swimmer but could probably use some help at NMMI to really bring him up to speed in this area. Does anybody know if he will be able to get help at NMMI or should we find a private instructor for him this summer?

    ROTC stipend

    DS is a 3 year winner of the AROTC scholarship. We understand he won't receive the stipend his freshman year. In his third class year (sophomore) will he get the stipend at the 2nd year level or the 1st year level? Does the stipend pay each month for 12 months or only during the school year? Thanks

    Self prep or SMC?

    DS is still waiting decisions from all 4 SA to which he applied as well as NROTC-MO and AROTC. However, as time is winding down we have been seriously discussion his "College 1.2 plan". We haven't been calling it plan B because his choices really aren't "less than" or "settling for" just a...

    USMMA Application notification date?

    Does USMMA have a stated date when a candidate can expect to receive a response? The other SA seem to indicate either 4/1 or 4/15 but I can't find any date on the USMMA website.
