Hey y'all,
I have been very blessed to recieve a 4 year national scholarship for AROTC at a public Ivy. I am now a sophomore (2nd year) and am struggling academically after trying everything. I am concerned it will negatively and severely affect my OML points for commissioning. Money is tight...
Hi! I’m an MS1 ROTC cadet who is contracted with a 4 year scholarship. I have looked into the differences between AD vs Reserves a little bit but would love to have y’all’s input and help explaining it a bit more.
1. What does being in the reserves look like right after commissioning? Like do...
haha the dudes i know from usma taught me to swear and said I need to know how to “swear eloquently” if I want to fit in. I like that his advice goes against this stereotype
From your experience, do great leaders usually have a very calm/level headed style of leadership or an enthusiastic and positive one? Just from my HS experience I am caught between these two bc one of my sports team captains was always positive and energetic no matter the win/lose/pain/tiredness...
Who is the best leader you have had in your life and why? What qualities make him/her such a great and inspirational leader?
Who is a subpar leader you have had? What qualities made them subpar/unlikeable?
Any input is greatly appreciated!
For class rank how does it work if one has a tier 1 major (I.e. engineering, chemistry, etc.) VS one with a major like business or economics? Since STEM majors would likely have lower grades/GPA… what if someone is double minoring/majoring? Is this taken into consideration?
So cadets are required to go to a group service though? Like if they decided not to go, do they just chill in their rooms or do they go to the atheist group?
How often do cadets eat during beast? Most cadets lose weight so what factors in to this? Are the eating times very rushed or is there less food given or is it simply a combination of extreme exercise and stress?
Is that weight often gained back during the academic year?
Hi, i was wondering if there are summer camps/opportunities that are strictly for USMA kiddos— I.e. Camp Buckner/CFT allows ROTC cadets based on merit, correct? What about air assault, etc.? If so, how competitive is it to get selected (from ROTC)?
