    April AROTC Board

    Anxiety Revisited I've posted before that DS did NOT get a scholarship offer and we went forward w/Plan B. He's enrolled at a local state university and is now considering the Marine Corps PLC. Just when I was mentally closing the door on AROTC, DS got a call from USC Trojan Battalion...

    April AROTC Board

    Just thought I'd update this thread by saying DS's status still hasn't changed and he still hasn't received an AROTC scholarship. I'm also just trying to maintain a sense of humor...! :smile:

    Arizona Governor signs new immigration law, Obama disagrees with the states rights?

    Good point, and what I brushed on in my long-winded post from the weekend. Not ALL illegal immigrants come to the US to break the law further. MOST just want a better life for their families. But, most illegal immigrants that are pulled over in traffic stops, or arrested from other...

    Im losing hope

    Congratulations, Gameface! Did you fill out your FAFSA already? If so, then Fresno State should be able to tell you what types of loans you're qualified for. Then, sign up for those because you don't have to start paying them until 6 months after you finish school. On top of that, the...

    Arizona Governor signs new immigration law, Obama disagrees with the states rights?

    I've been monitoring this thread, but now wanted to add my 2 cents. I'm all for treating people with respect & dignity; however, I live in San Diego County (right across the border from Mexico), and unless you live in a region that is directly impacted by the influx of illegal immigrants, you...

    April AROTC Board

    UofA does extend the deadline, but it was a matter of out-of-state tuition that was the deciding factor. Plus, I did talk w/the PMS at UofA, and there was no guarantee that DS was going to get a scholarship. So, we decided to play it safe and enroll DS locally, which is still a good school...

    April AROTC Board

    Still no change in DS's status on the CC website. DS officially declined his admission offer to UofA Tucson and enrolled at our local school, CSU San Marcos. So...after almost 9 mos. of waiting on the AROTC scholarship, we're going forward with a local school & DS will reapply for AROTC next...

    Advanced 3 Yr AROTC

    Thank you for posting this thread, because I was telling my husband we needed to make a deposit to an out-of-state school AND our local school, even though we're still waiting to hear if DS is getting ANY type of CC scholarship. :::sigh::: And I thought the WAITING from CC was the worst...

    Tips & Observations for new AROTC Cadets and Parents

    Jcleppe: Thank you very much for the detailed, excellent advice & helpful info! Our son is still going to do AROTC at our local university, and then re-apply for an AROTC (since he hasn't heard yet if he's receiving one now).

    Last but not least

    DS will go to Cal State University San Marcos, where he's already been accepted, and do AROTC there (which is run through San Diego State University, where DS was denied admittance because we live outside the boundary for that school, lol). DS was also accepted to UofA Tucson & ASU Tempe, but...

    Last but not least

    Thanks, we're still quietly waiting here in SoCal for an AROTC, but moving forward w/registration at one of our local state universities. It doesn't help that the Cadet Command website has been offline more than online this past week, lol!

    April AROTC Board

    We're still waiting to hear something, also. Plan B is also going into effect soon (local school). DS has been talking w/a USMC recruiter about the Platoon Leadership Course (PLC), and the recruiter was trying to get DS to enlist last week. We looked into the PLC, and the recruiter even met...

    AROTC School Direct offer

    Which school is it, so I can have my DS contact them, lol...?!? :smile: We're still waiting to hear from the April Board, and DS's application was even submitted early. That is a great offer, and definitely something your son should look into if he hasn't been offered anything directly from...

    March Army ROTC Board

    Hello from San Diego County! My husband has been w/the Sheriff's Dept for over 20 years, and our son just graduated from the Explorer Academy last weekend. He's looking forward to going on ride-alongs (out of the Ramona station). So, he'll have something to keep himself busy while we wait to...

    March Army ROTC Board

    Thanks for the heads up. Just checked, and DS's CC status hasn't changed...but we're still hopeful that he'll be selected. We found out earlier this week that DS was denied admission to SDSU, but we weren't surprised. We live outside the immediate boundary area for that school and SDSU is...

    Sending back the scholarship to AROTC

    Too bad you don't live in CA anymore. That would mean our son would have a chance at this "up for grabs" scholarship, lol! Congratulations to your son for making his final decision! :thumb:
