Hi all. I received a 3 year AROTC scholarship and am currently 3 weeks into the program. I've always wanted to serve, but in the past year my feelings have been wishy washy. I wound up not applying to West Point and instead settling for ROTC. But now, I'm not even too sure this is for me. I...

Hi, all. I have a question. I am going pre-med in my studies this fall at The College of New Jersey, and will be enrolled in Army ROTC. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on what languages are most valuable for someone in the medical and military fields combined, or if it is all the...

Hi! I intend on enrolling in Army ROTC this Fall as a freshman. I already started my dodmerb as I was initially applying to USMA, but I have a DQ for my right ear. I can only hear 25% ish in it, but my other ear makes up for it and meets Army regulations, according to my ear surgeon who did some...

Hello. I am a senior in high school and I plan on enrolling in Army ROTC in college. However, I am semi interested in getting a nose ring or a small tattoo. Of course these aren't necessities, but if I am allowed to have them, I would highly consider them. How would a septum/stud in the nose...

Hello. I've been intending on applying to West Point for years but now that the time has come to submit applications, I am wary of it. I have actually discouraged myself from finishing my application (all I have left is to take PT test), and this is because I don't think I want a 24/7 military...

Hey guys. I applied for the AROTC scholarship and am going to wait to hear back from the third board. If that doesn't come through, I am interested in the minuteman scholarship. From what I've been told, it is the same concept except I have to go to drill for a weekend a month. Any information...

I am seeing a number of people announce that they've won scholarships. Mine is still in Boarded/Under Consideration... but it now reads "This applicant's packet has been reviewed and scored by either The OCT 17 or JAN 18 Selection Boards, but were not selected. These applicant remain eligible...

Hey guys, I have a curiosity that I'm hoping can be satisfied. I understand that there's a large enough gender gap in the military with predominantly more males. I was wondering if the Army would be more inclined, then, to offer scholarships to competitive females as opposed to an excessive...

I applied to the Army ROTC scholarship for the second board. I know that the board meets January 22-26, but I was wondering if anyone knows the wait time to find out the results. Is it immediately after this board/during it, or do I have to wait until early February? I'm just very antsy and...

Is it difficult to get medical disqualifications for dodmerb overturned for AROTC Scholarship winners? I currently have 3, but I am hoping to get them overturned. I am adamant about joining ROTC in college.

Hey guys- I was wondering for reference what the order of merit list for different sections of the AROTC scholarship count for. Of course, there is PT, activities, academics, ACT scores, essays, and the interview. I am strong in every area, but for PT I ran my worst mile ever (8:40, though on...

I cannot find clarification anywhere. For the AROTC Schlarship PT test, do I have to perform the events in a particular order? Or, must I do it in the sequence of: pushups, situps, mile?

For my scholarship portal, I had to list a few colleges- some private, some public- that I would want to attend and apply my scholarship too. I am not actually applying to any public colleges, but for that reason I put those on the bottom of the list of precedence. I am applying to 10 private...

I just had my interview for the Army ROTC scholarship and my interviewer was very impressed. Here are some things that he put stars next to: Recipient of Dwight D. Eisenhower Award (given by West Point Society of NJ) Corps Commander of AFJROTC Unit Vice Group Commander at Cadet Leadership...
