Worst case scenario, you serve 4 years active duty then transfer over to reserves. You'll be what, 26?

Ranger regiment is a shock force. They're gonna kick your door in and eat food at your dinner table. SF are the guys embedded in enemy lines, waiting for the right time to strike. Those are the guys you see on tv wearing beards and middle eastern clothing. SF also can be a shock force but that's...

Tradition was a big pulling factor for myself. I'm enlisted right now, switching over to the academy. From personal experience, most officers from Westpoint are really squared away. They have the mentality of a leader and influence the platoon in a positive way from day one. Obviously this is...

The way the Army does it (not sure on how the academy does it if they do) is they take your height, weight, then they measure your neck and belly from the belly button. You can be up to 24% to get into the Army on the enlisted side. Once you're actually in the Army, that goes down to 21 percent...

Often times, that disconnect simply comes from the NCO or COC not being educated on this. Maybe she is the first one in that unit to have gone to WP, so they don't know what to expect. My experience has been the same minus the deployment. It took me walking up to my 1SG and Commander at a...

To add to what I said earlier, the Army will obviously be there when you get done with undergrad. If you want to be the best you can be at what you do, you have to completely buy into it. If you cant give your all to pre med or you know you aren't the type that can learn quickly and ace all of...

You can go pre-med at a civilian school on your CIV scholarship, then join the Army and have them pay for your med school. In a round about way. I work at a hospital (medic) and the docs I work with all went civilian route for undergrad, then joined the Army to pay for med school.

Certainly. They should have this figured out, but she'll have to continue shaking trees. Same thing happened to me. Eventually she'll shake the right one and things will start moving

I don't know about all of that, lol. I drove a 1991 BMW 3 series during high school. Told dad I wouldn't buy something until the wheels literally fell off of it. And it was time to get a new car after the odometer stuck on 259,000 miles. So I bought a newer car because I had to have something...

This may be a silly question, but does the same apply for a auto loan? I've had the car for about a year and I'm pretty sure I can save enough to pay it off while I'm at the prep school. But if not, I'll need to know what my options are.

I don't think you'll need your home of record unless it's in a different state and you had some type of traffic violation or misdemeanor that didn't show up on the other checks. I'm going to mail it in. Only things I won't mail in are the medical records as of right now

You should do civilian as well to be on the safe side of things. I went to the city surrounding my base and got it done. Just call the local PD and they should sort you out.

Correct. I fought with my S-1 over this. In that case, she can't take PCS leave. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I suppose it'll be ETS leave though?

Also going to the prep school in July, current enlisted. I got my orders a couple of weeks ago. She needs to hurry and get her orders. Tell her to really push the issue with her S-1. Sooner you get orders, more PCS leave she can drop (if she has it). Also if she's accepting a government-paid...
