What are you talking about?

Out of how many cadets though?

You are allowed to choose a company?

Which SMC do you attend? Since you're already at an SMC, do you know whether the majority of cadets that request for active duty get it? (Navy or Army) I understand that if you perform horribly academically (bad GPA) and in ROTC (low APFT score), then that person will probably not receive...

Well, I want to know the difference between how cadets at civilian ROTC and SMC are offered active duty. College is a big investment, so understandably I will have many questions. I know I want to do ROTC and make the military out of my career.

What about for an SMC? I'm assuming that that number (75% wanting active duty got active duty) is higher.

Are you pursuing a Navy ROTC scholarship? I read somewhere that since Navy and the Air Force doesn't have a reserve, unlike the Army, all contracted or on scholarship cadets will go active duty. Is this true?

I know that between 2011-2015, the Army went through downsizing/shrinking so getting AD was much harder even those with good scores. Thank's to Trump, he'll be increasing the strength of the military. Do you think in the class of 2021, the Army will not be downsizing like they did in the past...

I see. I guess if you have an above 3.0 GPA and excellent APFT scores, and perform relatively well at ROTC activities, will getting that PMS recommendation be difficult at an SMC?

Hey thanks for all the information, but can you answer this question? Since you're already at an SMC, do you know whether the majority of cadets that request for active duty get it? I understand that if you perform horribly academically (bad GPA) and in ROTC (low APFT score), then that person...

Campus-based scholarships/contracts are done at the national level? How is contracting at a VMI Army ROTC less competitive than other schools?

Since you're already at an SMC, do you know whether the majority of cadets that request for active duty get it? I understand that if you perform horribly academically (bad GPA) and in ROTC (low APFT score), then that person will probably not receive active duty even at an SMC. But if you...

Am I correct to say that it is more competitive to obtain a scholarship/contract at an SMC than at a civilian college? At an SMC, you are competing against hundreds of cadets but at a civilian college, that number is much less.

What about getting active duty, though?

Oh, are you currently enrolled in VMI? Are you on ROTC scholarship? I don't mind missing the whole 'college experience.' I truly believe it'll be a distraction to my studies and ROTC. I don't think anyone who attends a military schools 'loves' it but it is for the experience, to mold your...

I understand that if you perform horribly academically (bad GPA) and in ROTC (low APFT score), then that person will not receive active duty even at an SMC. If you perform average and meet the minimum/necessary requirements, is it hard to get that PMS recommendation? I'm curious how many cadets...

I want to attend a college that will prepare me for my military career. I don't think a civilian college ROTC, where you are in uniform (one lab per week) and three PT days a week is enough 'good enough' to mold me into a better officer. My dream is to become an officer in the U.S. military...

Bump

Wow, that many? I thought the number would be much lower, after the first and second board.

Out of approximately how many applicants?
