    Luggage/grad gift for plebes-to-be

    We got our P2B a gold chain and crucifix to wear under his uniform. Looks like they are allowed after reviewing the PTR (we think); hopefully it will help him thru the inevitable tough times. Please chime in if they are not allowed.

    How to deny NROTC scholarship after being offered an appointment?

    Preserving options can be a good thing, especially given the uncertainty with COVID. That is a different wrinkle this year. If a prospective plebe gets sick a week or two prior to I-Day they likely would get turned away. But if they recover NROTC would likely still be on the table for August.

    Corona Virus on or before I-day = Medically DQ'd

    My DS has not heard anything from his BGO. Seems a little draconian. I can understand DQ until cleared by medical professionals; but blanket loss of the appointment offer seems extreme given all we don’t know about this virus. Bubble wrapping my DS until I-day, and hopefully we will see...

    Graduating on time and Commission

    Highly recommend talking with your chain of command soonest. Accession numbers are typically tied to fiscal years. Not graduating in the spring and delaying til the fall will cross fiscal years. Not insurmountable if coordination is done early.

After our DS had his first interview in early Oct, his officer recruiter called him and told him they wanted him to interview with his Regional Commander for an ISR opportunity. We had no idea what ISR was, or...
