To parents whose DS or DD have returned from CIET, How many APFT's do we get? Because I'm afraid that my current PT score doesnt reflect my fitness at all because I got hurt in a car accident back in May 20th, and that hurt my hip and lower body a bit to the point where situps and running just...

Hi all, I've been hearing from pretty much everyone -- family, friends, cadre (especially cadre) -- that the US military is in a growing phase, where we're expanding our manpower and investment. Is this due to President Trump taking office after former-president Obama? Or is there another...

I've already gotten everything i need on the packing list, but i'm a little confused on what bags to bring. Am i storing all of this in my ruck sack or the big dark green bag they issued on zero day? I haven't been able to find anyone who's been to CIET at my BN in my grade, so I'm a little...

Hi all, i just had a few questions on the remedial process: - the DoDMERB cadre at my BN told me that these remedials are quite common. It means that they're trying to "qualify" me but just need more information first to do so. Is that accurate? - The main question: Will DoDMERB ever directly...

No, this isn't the kind of thread where I got in trouble with alcohol and am asking you guys for advice. 2 friends of mine just got busted tonight with Minor In Possession of alcohol charges. Thing is, 1 is in AROTC, and the other in AFROTC. I know different branches have different standards...

I have been conditionally awarded a 2-year scholarship from AROTC. I know that all scholarship winners have to serve a total of 8 years in the Army, which I have no problem with, and the popular option is 4 AD, 4 years IRR. BUT .... I know that the 4 years of AD don't count toward 9/11 GI bill...

Hey all, I took my DoDMERB physical 2 weeks ago and already completed my optical exam back in September of 2016 (I switched from AFROTC to AROTC at my college), and I still haven't heard anything back. A few things that I think might be holding me up are: My Agency on the portal still says...
