    Arotc reduction (rumor)

    For AROTC, once you've signed a contract with AROTC, you will be able to commission if you meet the requirements of the program. There is no scholarship requirement to commission. As a former Army officer, I can share that I have witnessed defense budgets shrink and swell over the 11 years I...

    Transfer class options: can my 2/c take a class at another University over the Summer

    I recommend that your son speak to his cadre in NROTC and his university advisor. My DD is in AROTC and spoke to her cadre and university advisor to receive permission to take a course last summer at her local community college. We knew that we would have to pay for the course (since it was...

    Intentionally Not Getting an EA for AFROTC

    I recommend doing your best. Meet with your AFROTC leadership and come up with a plan for how you're going to progress toward a degree. There will be WOC applicants that will have a degree. If you do not get selected for field training, then your best bet is to try to finish college.

    Does it look bad if you apply to only ROTC and not the academies as well?

    If you are certain that you don't want to apply to a service academy, then you shouldn't apply. It's a waste of everyone's time.

    Internships in ROTC

    My recommendation would be to work with your cadre. My DD is in AROTC, and internships only encouraged during the summer. Usually, most of the cadets try to pick up an internship through Army Cadet Command or DoD. All internship slots are competitive.

    NROTC Dorm Room Mate

    Your DS is correct. He should try to room with another NROTC-MO midshipman. My DD is in AROTC and thankfully her AROTC battalion assisted incoming cadets with rooming with other cadets, and it has been really helpful, especially with morning PT. Although many years ago, I can speak from my own...
