Thanks. I had a feeling next fall would be more reasonable. Any idea what factors prevent or allow the scholarship to be transferred?

More advice, please...and I know that no one can tell us for sure, DS will need to talk to cadre, I know. But...he definitely wants to leave current school. Can’t stand it, hates the culture, wants out. I have him convinced to research transferring instead of walking away altogether. Two...

I know as far as the schools he can transfer, but can the scholarship be transferred as well? Does Cadet Command allow that??

Enlisting is something I told him he would need to look at if he leaves school early. I plan to do exactly what you said (show him the hard facts of finances with and without a degree) if at Christmas he still is spouting this stuff. I really think he wants to be closer to home right now, even...

DS is struggling at his university. Not academically, and he claims not socially, he just says he doesn't want to be there. He is a 4-yr AROTC scholarship holder. I've told him he has to finish his freshman year and then we will discuss it again. I think he's just homesick, but he claims he just...

I am THRILLED to report that DS PASSED the PFT this morning. Praise the Lord!!!!

Well, my son is a 4-year scholarship winner and failed his first PFT. Because of that, we got paranoid and made sure to fund his tuition in case something happened that he didn't get contracted. We needed a loan to do it and didn't want to miss any windows. Maybe the school just scared us and we...

That's what his dad said, too. Still. Ugh.

He sent me his scores. Form issues on the sit-ups, of all things, made him 8 short in that category only. He says they are retesting in a "couple weeks". I'm trying to stay out of it until there is a bill to pay!

Form on the sit ups is what did him in, apparently. He is not far off the mark. I think he will fix it but just UGH!!!!

Thank you. I'm trying.

APFT is what I meant. I'm so angry that I'm not seeing straight!

I'm so mad right now that I can't see straight. Can anyone tell me what the PFT standards are for males right now?? My son is a 4 year winner and just failed this morning. I was on his ass all summer to get ready and he kept blowing me off that he would be "fine". Yeah, not so much. What happens...

It's good to know his scholarship won't be affected if he fails this portion! He is already qualified by DoDMERB and should be fine for the APFT, but he plans to continue training for it (for him, the run is easy, he already maxes out that score, and his last count for pushups and situps, he was...

Thank you! I'm going to send that link to DS.

Do they start this pretty immediately? Also wondering if possibly he could take classes once he start as well. Definitely going to get him started this summer but wonder if it's something he can continue to work on once on campus.

Dang, yeah, DS would never pass. Searching for a swim tutor now!!!

We have FINALLY heard from SAs and DS is officially 100% on board for AROTC at our flagship state university with 4-yr scholarship. During the application process for USMA, DS was told that if he didn't pass survival swimming upon arrival, he would be put in a swimming class. DS is NOT a swimmer...

DS also received his non-select this morning. So that's that, which really is fine. We just wanted an answer.
