Looking for gift ideas for our 1C MIDN commissioning in a couple of months. Do they receive a certificate of some kind? If so, what size is it? Maybe a frame would be a nice idea. Other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
DS is experiencing thinning hair as a MIDN 1C in NROTC. He wants to do something about it but is worried that if he uses a topical (or oral) medication such as Minoxidil that he will be disqualified from commissioning. Wanted to ask if this would happen. Didn't see Minoxidil listed as a...

Hello,
Just curious if anyone knows when the AFROTC scholarship boards for this year will be? Specifically the first one? When should my DS have everything completed and submitted in order to be involved in the first board selection?
Thanks!
