My DS was offered an air assault spot for summer training. But since he is an MS1 (from my understanding rare to be given this spot) he was given a slot that is scheduled during his first couple weeks of classes. This is something he really wants to do!! Just seeking advice from anyone who may...

Congratulations!! She is going to love it! My DS is a first year - and has already been able to embrace so many opportunities with the New River Battalion and the support they receive and cadets and you as a parent is impressive!

DD just completed 1st year ROTC - loved having a Garmin! DS will be getting one from her for ROTC as his Graduation gift.

He wants USMA real bad but weighing out pros and cons of civil prep versus reapplying as ROTC student if not granted appointment in class of 2026. Concerns are losing scholarship (because he would have to give it up if he goes to Civil Prep) and taking an extra year to commission. We are from...

DS received an email from FFR asking if he would consider Civil Prep? He currently has a earned 4 year Navy and Army ROTC scholarship to his #1 Senior Military College choice which he has been accepted into. He currently is 3Q and has 3 nominations to USMA. Looking for advice or insight on...

DS just received word that he received a NROTC scholarship. He already has a 4 year AROTC. Both are at VTECH his #1 school, he is still waiting on word from USMA…some big decisions in his future!

Thank you! My DS never received a call it just showed up in his portal. Good luck to your son!

Which academy?

Does anyone know if NY62 is Schumer or Gillibrand?

exactly the advice we shared with him last night! This is his journey and he needs to just set up some boundaries with them.

Thank you very much for the honest truth!! Just shared with my son and they made the exact statements to him that you mentioned above "soldiers respect a previously enlisted officer" etc etc.. Like always this forum comes through with guidance!

Thank you so much for confirming what we thought. This board has been so much help to us for the past 3 years for my DD who is a current cadet on a 4-year and now my DS who is a current 4-year recipient. We learned so much through this forum just wanted to make sure we weren't missing anything...

That's exactly what his father and I thought. Just wanted to make sure we weren't missing something...

Help! My DS is a 4-year Army ROTC scholarship recipient and a 3Q candidate for USMA with a congressional nomination. Army, Navy and Air Force recruiters that visit his high school and his JROTC battalion keep telling him that he should take the ASVAB for more scholarship opportunities that can...

My DS received his nomination from our MOC (NY) to West Point and the Naval Academy. Was told NY Senators will have nominations out after the New Year.

Yes, both my DS and DD had 7 schools listed. They both received 4 yr scholarships on the first boards to their top 3 listed schools, that's why order of preference is important. My DD had two friends who received 3 year scholarships on the 2nd Boards and received them to 1,3, &4 and even 2,4...

Congratulations Jarhead713, been following your journey since the start of 2020and truly enjoying your posts!! You truly embody the characteristics needed of a great leader - grit, determination, and patience!! A great example!

DS received an email from Texas A&M today making him aware of this as a 4 year winner. They were not on his original list of 7 because of cost and being an OOS student. If he decides to apply and gets accepted can his 4 year transfer to a school that was not on his list of seven let alone not...
