8(ish) months until I commission? Something like that. I successfully completed AC this summer, and now as long as I don't assault anyone/fail a class/get a DUI, I'll be a 2nd Lieutenant here in a little while! The best advice I got this summer was the success of the Army depends on developing...

Figured I'd make this since I felt upset and angry two years ago when I was a non-select. I can tell you firsthand, it sucks. I got passed up 5 times and watched my buddy with a 19 on his ACT get a 3-year offer. It happens. Sometimes the board sees things you don't. BLUF: Scholarships don't...

I don't know how many fans of college baseball are out there, but today's opening day! Can't wait to watch the rebs take the mound at 4 today. I love love LOVE baseball, and the fact that baseball season is starting has kept me motivated to get out of bed every morning!

Asking out of curiosity, any Freemasons out there?

One year and some change. 4 USACC scholarship rejections. Every push-up, every mile, every day at Fort Knox, every late night, every ounce of sweat blood and tears, every heartache, every rejection and every fight. After all of that, and starting my journey on this forum 3 years ago, I'm...

https://www.wlfi.com/content/national/575548992.html I was actually at the game when this happened. HOLY COW! I will never go back to Knoxville for a football game ever again.

I was born in October, 2001. I wasn’t alive to see the towers fall. I’ve never lived in a country that’s known peace, all I’ve known since I’ve been alive is war. It still chokes me up every year, seeing what all happened and what everyone went though, and I can confidently say that September...

Seeing as this forum is home to many retired/active military personnel, most of whom have gone through some experience with a DS, DI or MTI (sorry Navy, no idea what you call your people, I think it's petty officer or something) I wanted to hear everyone's funniest moments they've witnessed from...

Waiver. Granted. Take THAT asthma! Next stop is basic camp, then contracting, then commissioning. If I complete basic camp, I'll get a scholarship through my battalion. Thank you to all of you here. I will be back periodically to deliver some good one-liners and pass down some advice...

I just realized I could do one of these LOL I don't know if any of you have questions but if you do I'd be happy to answer!

Hey! I applied for a scholarship for AROTC last year... for reasons unbeknownst to me, I wasn't chosen for the one I wanted and walked on this year. Loving the Army life though, Hotty Toddy :) Here's what you need to know: Your packet is reviewed and scored ONCE. A board of PMS's will review...

Don't ever, and I mean EVER try nicotine. I've been off for 11 weeks now. Each day gets a little easier. But DON'T BE FOOLED People will tell you that you can't get hooked, that it's no big deal. I realized I needed to get off nic when I'd wake up in the morning and the first thing I would do...

Hello all, Woke up two days ago to a text from my PL informing me that all MSI and MSIII cadets will be placed in quarantine for two weeks. Oh boy. So, Jarhead packed up everything in his dorm and prepared to move, when he received another text saying "Wait until you're...

As y'all may know, I was rejected from USMA (DQ'd for asthma) and not considered for a waiver because I wasn't high enough on the list. So my AROTC battalion got a hold of my DoDMERB physical, and I had to do some remedial saying I didn't have covid and hadn't had any serious injuries since I...

Hey y'all! Happy college decision day! This has been a long time coming for the class of 2020, so for those of us attending college, post your plans for next year below! Include your university or SA, major, intended branch service (if applicable ;) ) and whatever else you want to include...

The county I live in has almost a dozen confirmed cases and counting. My parents stocked up on food tonight, by the time we left Walmart at 19:00, the entire store was full of people, and empty of everything else. Panic's setting in, and it's a little scary down here. They haven't closed MY...

All, I want to personally thank all of you here on this forum. The advice I've received here has been invaluable. The support of you all has been incredible. I'd like to personally thank @THmom @AROTC-dad @Devil Doc @Heatherg21 and @Capt MJ for all supporting me. You guys are all...

Already think I know the answer to this. Checked my DoDMERB portal and it says my current medical status is "Withdrawn." Is this the end of the road? I just started working on getting letters for a rebuttal.
