I'm in a similar situation where my credits don't match my school year, when I was a Sophomore my school said I had junior standing. However, I still needed to take all the required classes for my major and minor which requires all 4 years of school. If possible (very tedious) have your DS plan...

I don't know if it's the same but here is the breakdown for FY22. you probably have seen it already but since COVID happened, more of the OML is based on leadership outcomes. Academic Outcomes (20%) Leadership Outcomes (60%) Physical Outcomes (20%) I remember in the years before COVID...

Hello! Glad to hear that your daughter got into UCLA! I'm currently a rising senior in the Bruin Battalion in a satellite campus. One of the biggest components for your daughter to complete first is the 104R (they'll show her how to fill it out), which is essentially a 4 year plan of all the...

I dont know the brand of mine but i went to a running store and they helped me create a custom insole and recommended me a type of running shoe. I change the insoles to my boots when we do rucks and it works just fine. hope that helps a bit

How about an officer's saber?

First off, congratulations on the scholarship! Assuming that you are talking about Army ROTC, there is a branch in the Army called Military Intelligence (MI) and it seems like might be a good fit for you, given your interests. However, it is an extremely competitive branch which means you need...

Get a rite-in-rain notebook and a good pair of gloves as well

I believe it's this week *fun fact*: today marks exactly 2 years since i received the scholarship ahaha

This is more of a side note (i'm also not sure if this is the same for NROTC) but for AROTC if you want to compete for a "walk-on" scholarship one of the best things you can do is pass/excel at the PT test on your first try. Definitely puts your DS on cadre's radar right away.

You should expect a letter in the mail in about a week or so. In that letter contains a paper that you sign and select the school you wish to enroll at. Next you scan that letter and upload it to your portal. Congrats on your scholarship!!

If you didn't receive a scholarship, the portal will remain as "boarded/uc" until the 3rd board results are out. Best wishes!

I heard that it varies based on internships. I also haven't heard back yet

I see, then I'm not too sure about the "personal tour," this is the first time i've heard about it at least. If you and your DS can, you should definitely check out our program! I'm biased but I enjoy our battalion

Hope to see your DS in the Mighty Bruin Battalion next year ;) if he received a scholarship there is an orientation around April i believe, if that is what you are referring to.

It's possible but it's rare.

I'm not sure about the citadel or vmi but for my battalion, if you come in with a 3-year national scholarship, you can get it upgraded to a 3.5 year by passing your PT test and doing well in your classes. Of course, you also have to show you are a motivated cadet that is worth the upgrade. As a...

I once heard a Special Forces Major say that if he could go back to college he would minor in English due to the amount of reports that he has to write. Don't exactly know how interesting english can get though hahahaha

yeah there's no "submit" button. As long as you completed every section then you'll be fine!

Have an idea of what branch you want, bring a resume/transcript, know why you want to be an officer, what have you been doing to prepare yourself, why are you choosing the Army/what made you interested, are you looking for a career in the Army. If you want you can prepare some questions you...

Many people just suggest interviewing with a local school because you don't have to pay much for travel fees, saves time too. However, I've also heard of students doing a skype interview with their school of choice but you would have to communicate that with the PMS to see if they are willing...
