Well-stated, and a view that most folks forget about. "It's the economy stupid?"

Good Morning, and Good Luck on the 3rd Board. I agree with Clarkson, above. I would also like to point out that if you are sufficiently committed to your path of becoming an Army Officer, nearly as many scholarship are awarded to Cadets on campus as through the National Scholarship Boards...

Good Morning, and I agree with all the advice you have received already. The advice that I offer when asked is that you absolutely TAKE the scholarship, as you can change your mind later on that decision. Failure to claim the scholarship now eliminates a choice later. (I also make it a point...

Good Morning Sir, and thanks for your family's commitment to the Nation.... I propose that it is worth reading the "fine print" of the scholarship offer and contract. There is a wrinkle in the way the contracts are written, that make national 3-year awards have some 4-year annotations on the...

Each State will be the one to make the decision. I have gotten a verbal commitment here (MA) to "take care of the Soldier" to the extent that is possible. What I mean by that is that they would be willing to release "you" from your enlistment contract if you are to receive >$30k in scholarship...

Being awarded the scholarship nationally offers a certain prestige that is hard to beat. However, if you are committed to the path of becoming an Army Officer, there are about as many scholarship awarded on campus for enrolled Cadets as there are awarded nationally. This requires that you...

I would also suggest checking online as often as your enthusiasm dictates. I will be emailing today to those who have been awarded scholarship off this board to Boston University, just FYI.

I agree that it is more about telling who you are. Many of the essays will say all the "right" things like Army Values, but your interest in leading and serving, plus a key experience will catch more attention.

For Army ROTC you should also have a phone number that you can call to talk to a "counselor" to confirm. Also, if you send it to the school, the ROO there can also assist you if nothing else works.

I am about to walk out of the office, but I have a slightly absurd one to offer. New ship, by the pier, in Norfolk. Walking on the pier, hearing some sort of commotion, and Lo, there is a Sailor in the water. Heroically, I drag him from the water, painters harness and all. Considering that...

First of all, Good Luck! Second, stay in touch with your intended school. If you can afford to get there, you have some reasonable options to compete for a scholarship on campus. Feel free to message me if you would like more detailed advice. For what it is worth, the Army is growing, and...

Point well-taken! (Not the first time nor the last time I might get that wrong....)

Thank You Sir.... Oddly, while I have been in communication with a number of the offices of the Members of Congress in and around Boston, I have not had the success in MA that I did in FL supporting these events. We have actually been rather active in our engagement around the time that US...

Carik, I think you have gotten some good advice so far. As a ROO, I would definitely suggest having an in-depth conversation with the Admissions department at your school of choice, and they may still have the flexibility to admit you for the regular term. The second option is for the ROTC...

Good Morning, and Thanks for All that You do! If there are still events in this district, please let me know.

Good Morning, please let me know if you are still conducting Academy Nights in this district.

Good Morning. Is this discussion still active? Thank You!
