Good Evening, This is directed towards the members of the Incoming Rat Mass of 2020+3: Hello! I'm currently a 4th Class Cadet at VMI, and I was wondering if any of you had questions regarding life at the Institute as a new cadet (RAT). As a 4th, I am by no means an expert on the ins and outs...

Woah... The ACFT will be fully activated by October, 2020.

Hello SA Forum Community, As I get ready to attend VMI's STP, I would just like to know what kind of PT to expect. More importantly, will the VFT be administered while I'm at the STP? Thanks! Sincerely, C76706340

Hello SA Forum Community, Recently, I submitted an appeal to DoDMERB in an attempt to reverse a disqualifying condition that I have reason to believe is a misdiagnosis. Yesterday, however, my DoDMERB medical technician informed me that they were unable to reverse the DQ. He/she (I will keep...

Hello, I know I'm a bit behind, but I was just made aware of a standardized test called the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). I have a few questions regarding the test: 1. Do cadets in ROTC take the ASVAB? 2. How difficult is the ASVAB in comparison to the SAT/ACT? 3. What...

Unfortunately, I learned today that I had been medically disqualified from AROTC for the same reasons that disqualified me from attending USMA. Is it possible that the waiver review for AROTC will somehow turn out differently than it did for USMA? Is there still hope? Thanks.

Hello, I just have a quick question. Recently, I've been very confused as to what is considered an "acceptable" Hgb level for the US Army. I've been told that it's either 13.5 or 14 g/dL. Can someone please clarify? Thanks.

Hello SA Forum Community, I was medically disqualified from attending USMA about a week ago, and I'm worried that I will be medically disqualified from my AROTC Scholarship just the same. Is there a chance that DoDMERB reviews candidates' files in a different light for ROTC scholarships than...

The document submission deadline to commit to VMI is May 1st. However, one of the documents I have to submit is my final H.S. transcript. Problem is, my final H.S. transcript won't be ready by May 1st. Thoughts? Is anyone else in the same dilemma?

Hello, My AROTC Scholarship status just changed from Boarded/Under Consideration to Boarded. Is this a good sign?

I’ve posted this video somewhere else on this forum (please don’t ban me), but I thought I’d post it here so that it receives more traffic. Above is a very insightful video produced by none other than the US Army (hooah). The video mentions every SMC (senior military college) and MJC (military...

Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain the function of the "preview..." option when creating a thread. Thanks.

I understand that the 3rd AROTC Scholarship Selection Board is convening this week. When can I expect to receive a decision?

As I anxiously wait for the third selection board to convene on 3/19, I was wondering if someone could explain to me the different types of ROTC Scholarships. Thank you! UPDATE: I'm looking for an explanation to the different types (tiers?) of Army ROTC scholarships as I have very little...

I just read a Washington Post article that painted a grim reality of life in the Ratline. Given that the article was written in the 90s, I was wondering if the Ratline is still as intense as it was back then (the “old corps”). Here’s the article...
