NSI has been mandatory for scholarship activation I think since 2022? But it is not mandatory for participation in NROTC that I have heard, a Unit can do the Indoc. But you are correct, no scholarship until an entrant is fully qualified, physically, academically, and medically. But there is a...

Academies are set up to produce "Line Officers" (officers who can serve anywhere anytime and have no restrictions), the chances of "nursing school" direct from the Academy I would think are pretty slim. Usually Grad School (for nursing) requires you to be a promotable O-2, then requires...

If he cannot go as a "Scholarship Recipient", I believe the decision rests with his PMS as it will likely be on a space available basis. The fully qualified scholarship entrants get first shot, any vacancies can be filled by Programmers (non-scholarship midn). Unless it has changed in the past...

From remembering back when Mr. Mullen was still here, he told applicants that every ascension source has some sort of appeal process. Usually it required "new and material evidence" be submitted that would change the authority's mind. Just saying it is unjust, or unfair I would think would not...

From what I have read here and heard from applicants, IF requested records are not available, DoDMERB will likely process your file and you will be DQ'd. Then it is up to any Waiver Authorities to make the determination if they want to grant your waiver. A lot depends on how many waivers have...

Most Army BOLC if less than 18 weeks is TDY and you are housed on base at an IHG Hotel (again remember to join the rewards program). BOLC longer than 18 weeks is normally PCS, and BAH and BAS are paid. And normally, two new O-1's room together to stretch funds. Call the BOLC Program office at...

I am not DoDMERB, but previous posters indicated when "Provider notes" are requested, DoDMERB is seeking the actual written or typed and signed notes from each time you saw the doc they requested records from. They usually do not accept summaries, but want the individual treatment notes. You...

Just a quick FYI, your SON, NOT YOU needs to write any letters or make any inquiries (unless he is 17). If you start intervening, it could possibly give Cadet Command the wrong opinion that your son is not mature enough to handle his own affairs. Follow justdoit19's advice, get the hospital...

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but no one on these forums, unless they are a member of a waiver board, can give you an answer. EVERY case is unique and decided based on the needs of the particular service that you wish to enter. Army may waive, Navy may not, NROTC may waive, AROTC...

I agree with @EJF that your recruiter or possibly your contact at DCC (once you are accepted normally you get a contact at DCC for questions) would be the ones to inquire to. I can make an informed guess.... you will not be able to formally be accepted (attend DCC) until your medical is...

OK, sorry guess I misunderstood your initial post where it sounded like you were already a Junior (out of HS for 4 years), and next semester would be your senior year (with the drops). Good Luck, and you are right, IF you get accepted as a first semester junior, you can either get the two year...

Just my personal thoughts, but if you are currently in your second semester junior year, it may be difficult to join ANY ROTC program. The ROTC programs are structured to give you four years of military training prior to Commissioning. If you entering your senior year, you may not be eligible...

Since you have already "accepted" a slot in this years class, I would definitely reach out to your AO and just ask! No risk in asking and they will let you know if there are any negative ramifications in doing it.

I think you may have misunderstood your contact a little. You cannot have an appointment until you have passed the physical fitness test, academic, and medical portions. I believe what you probably wanted to indicate was that none of the academies ask for a waiver unless they see the applicant...

I am NOT a DoDMERB expert, but if you had your allergist fill out the AMI forms, and he also gave you a letter to the effect "Cleared for full and unrestricted activities, and his current allergy state has no effect on that belief", then you have done what was asked, now you wait. Sorry, but if...

If you submitted the allergist's letter with your AMI then IMHO, you should have no worries medically. Doesn't make a lot of sense though if you passed the test (as long as it met DoDMERB's standards) to still after AMI review, be DQ'd. DoDMERB will normally, I think, send the actual form and...

JMHO, but be careful with this as taking a "antidepressant" could cause your son issues at WP. While anyone is free to see whatever doctor they want, Cadets are usually directed to go to Keller Army Hospital. This is important so that IF a disqualifying medical issue arises, the Cadet (because...

I would venture a guess that as the smallest military service, they have the smallest medical staff personnel wise, and they do not want to back up those individuals admissions has indicated they would like to have, by having to medically evaluate possibly thousands of applicants for medical...

The "problem" with DEI being forced on the military is it seems to in some instances lower the general standards for that position. Then the men and women who are in those positions, but not included in DEI (for whatever reasons) see themselves as getting forced into working with the people who...

You MUST serve 36 months or active duty, AFTER your service obligation from ROTC or the Academy, and any other related ADSO's, BRADSO, Flight School, Law School, Med School, etc, etc, to get 100% of the education benefits from VA. Don't start looking at the education benefits until you are like...
