Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I have been pondering joining AFROTC or AROTC for a long while. After taking all things into consideration, from which college I would want to attend (I have not received any letters of admissions yet) to which program I would like to join, I am not sure that...

Hello everyone. I am about to submit my application for affrotc and arotc. Will I immediately be contacted for an interview, or will they contact me after I send in all of the "supporting documents" by the deadline in January? Do they need those documents to confirm eligibility before they...

Hello Everyone. I have two questions: First, when are the Army ROTC boards going to meet this year and how frequently? Second, when do the slots begin to fill up at schools with ROTC? Do the officers at the battalion select students to come to their school after all of the boards have met...

Hello everybody. Does anybody know the first board meeting dates for the 2010-2011 year for all ROTC branches? If you do, could you please post them here. Thank you very much. I heard rumors that the first Army board will be meeting in October, but I am not sure.

Hello all. I am just about to finish my junior year and want to apply to the Army ROTC and Marine ROTC officer programs. I understand there is a board that meets in September 2010 for both. I am currently training to receive a high score on the PFT and would like more time to train. What is the...

Just curious, Cait, what did you select as your major?

Hello everyone. I am curious because many students in this forum said they have applied to multiple scholarship programs. I am curious if there is any "distaste" by the scholarship boards if they realize a candidate is applying to almost all branches for an ROTC scholarship? I know on the NROTC...

Hello again everybody. I was also wondering how competitive a Marine Corps scholarship is compared to all of the other ROTC scholarship possibilities. A qualifying score is apparently SAT 1000 or ACT 22. Do scholarship recipients usually have a lot high scores than the ones posted? If so, can...

Hello everyone. I was exploring the NROTC website and saw that the Navy will give out 85% of the scholarship funds to technical majors only. However, the Marine Corps informational page did not state the same preference for tehnical majors. Does the Marine Corps prefer technical majors, or can...

Hello Everybody. I just wanted to clarify that you can fill out the initial online application for all branches and submit test scores, PFT, transcript, recommendations later. If so, how much later can you send in all of these items after you submit the initial online application? Thank you.

Interesting. Does anybody know exactly what happens if you do not pass the leadership course and are on scholarship? Also, is it common not to be selected for commissioning for ROTC? Thanks.

ROTC is very attractive when advertised as being commissioned as an officer after 4 years. However, is this commissioning guaranteed? If not, how many cadets get commissioned as officers approximately? Also, if you are on scholarship and are not selected to be commissioned as an officer, do you...

Hello, everybody. I have yet to take the ACT, and want to get my Army ROTC and Air Force ROTC applications started sometime in late June. I have two questions, however: Can I submit the PFE at anytime, or must I submit it X number of days after I submit the online application? My second...

There does not seem to be room for summer jobs on the application. It just lists during "School Days." I worked full time last summer. Is there anyway I can list this under work experience? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I am curious, how would the ROTC board look at a student who completes an internship with the US Department of Justice or other federal law enforcement agency? In general, how much does work experience for the US govt. help a high school applicant, if at all? Would this give an...

It seems like MI is a difficult field to get into. Is there anything that a cadet can do besides keep up good grades and physical fitness that would improve his or her chances at obtaining the position? Also, how often do cadets mark 3 specialties other than infantry and get selected for...

Thanks for the insight. The more I think about the Army Military Intelligence position, the more I like it. Is branching in military intelligence difficult? Is there a certain degree that is preferred or that a cadet must have? Also, how does Army MI compare to Air Force MI and OSI? Thanks.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. In regards to education after an AROTC program is completed, will the army pay for a master's degree in an area such as political science or economics that is non-technical? If so, will it be a full-scholarship at a private or public school, or will it be through...

Thank you for the very helpful advice everybody. However, I still am curious about a few things.Will my participation as an NRA member and being qualified as a marksman and hopefully higher help my application in the sport area? Does participation in PE and the grades in that area count as well...

Hello everybody. I am a high school junior and get good grades and have gotten above-average SAT scores. I also serve my community in leadership positions. I also do theater after school as a lead role. Therefore, I have not had time to participate in any competitive sports in high school...
