    VMI Summer Transition Program

    DS did STP in 2018. Although as his mom I drove him there from 8 hours away, plenty of kids didn’t have parents come with them as they were allowed to have cars. Wishing your son a great experience at STP and VMI as my DS prepares to commission and graduate this coming week

    Current NROTC-MO Scholarship and DODMERB exam

    DS is a current NROTC-MO scholarship student in his first year at a SMC. His DODMERB exam was in July 2017. It is my understanding that a DODMERB exam is good for 2 years. Does he need to have another DODMERB exam this summer? Or is it that an exam is good for 2 years if he was still applying...

    Medical coverage

    If DS graduates from a NROTC college and has completed OCS, then has a gap of time while he waits for TBS, when would medical insurance start? Would it be upon graduation or the start if TBS? TIA

    VMI financial aid

    I called VMI Financial Aid today regarding DS. Was told that the VMI Local scholarship will "go away" if there is a ROTC scholarship. Regarding what Falcon A states above with tuition OR room & board, since we are out of state, we will go with the tuition being paid :) instead!

    Nomination Dilemma

    Months ago, when DS filled out his MOC applications, he put down USMMA as his second choice. He has not and will not be applying there. Prior to his MOC interviews, he decided he only wanted USNA and if that didn't work out, he would pursue Plan B, Plan C etc. When he went to his second MOC...

    Remedial

    DS called DODMERB for his remedial questions and they were actually very helpful. They won't move things along for you but they can certainly answer your questions! Giving them a call will answer your specific questions for his specific case. God luck!
