I'm currently a freshman in college and I'm considering joining either AROTC or AFROTC with a scholarship, but I'm wondering about the likelihood of getting in, things I should be aware of, as well as any differences between ROTC and service academies aside from the setting at typical colleges...

I don't recall where I heard this, but I remember reading that we should use certain "lingo" during our interviews, such as "yes sir/ma'am," etc. Is there anything else I should be aware of for my nomination Interview? Thank you!

I'm planning on applying to AFROTC, but I'm not sure if I have the time to get the PFA done in time and everything else, especially with the deadline coming up and many rounds already gone. Would I be at a big disadvantage if I apply for the scholarship/program while in college?

I have a really old basketball that should work. My school does have a gym, but it's usually either closed or taken up for sports during our free times. It's also extremely crowded during open gym with people playing basketball, volleyball, or soccer, so there's not really any room for me to...

Hmm, maybe I'll try that out. My main concern is accidentally throwing the basketball into my neighbor's car or having to run for the ball after throwing it (our street's relatively short and it's connected to a busy road.

I haven't reached out to my FFO yet, but I got this problem figured out now. I sent in the SOEs to all my teachers and my Physical Education teacher finished his already. I think I'll be fine moving forward, but I'll definitely check in with my FFO for any further issues.

To be honest I've always fitted into the Military Academy's ideals (focus on academics, leadership, and fitness), I just never really realized this. I used to think that the Military Academies was for people with low grades who have no other choice but to physically train their bodies for...

Awesome, I just talked to my counselor about it and she's contacted them for their emails. Hopefully everything goes well! :) Also is there anything I should be aware of about the application aside from the Candidate Kit, SOEs, Nominations, and Medical exam? I heard there's an interview for...

Hello. I know I'm extremely late in admissions for West Point. I made the decision to apply in early October this year as a senior and I was barely able to finish my Congresswoman and one of my Senator's nomination applications on time. I think I should be fine with the Candidate Statements and...
