We are hoping to hear something soon. My other two kids' experiences were completely different, so I know not to compare with this son, but AIGHHH lol. At least AFROTC doesn't need a commitment until 5/31

Waiting in Ohio too😬

Thank you for the quick reply!

Question; DS (hopeful USAFA 2027) DoDMERB exam was in December. We found out today the Dr. forgot to sign one of the pages. It was corrected and faxed today. Since it was THEIR Dr who messed up, is this going to be an issue for my DS? Side note: DS portal showed he had everything completed. We...

Most expensive "free" education ever😜🤣

It depends on a lot of factors. My 2025 found out within 6 weeks of turning everything in February. Our 2026 didn't find out until April and our hopeful 2027-er is still waiting even though everything has been completed and we are being told the hold up is due to DoDMERB info getting sent to...

I would think long and hard about it. YOU may not mind being an older cadet with college under your belt but remember that you are going to have people in charge of you that are younger than you, no life experience and feel threatened by that. Ask a prior or a cadet that came in older like...

Same

Another perspective, my DS was in AFROTC and excelled. Went to USAFA and left on a medical (thank you mandatory boxing class) USAFA is not perfect and comes with its own set of unique issues and problems (think immature kids with too much power and AOCs that aren't there to be involved). There...

Our DS is a contracted Army ROTC at Citadel. His payment was late (not sure if they got it yet or not.) He was also placed on restricted hold (so ridiculous, as another stated, they Know they are getting their money). Citadel informed us they were charging Army /DoD a late fee, and that no one...

Nope. Just your happy place in your head. You're gonna need it. Pack only what they tell you. You won't have room for much else. When you pull up to your batt assignment, you take your things out of your car, put it on the curb, hug your parents goodbye and wait for instructions. The blue...

Those traditions are sadly, a thing of the past

Agree with FH76, if his heart isn't in engineering, then maybe a business degree would be an option. Or go to technical school and get his A&P. Point being, all pilots lose their medical at some point. The key is to add value to yourself in the airlines. Say your son experiences a medical...

First, I give you much credit for looking at the bigger picture. I cannot speak for VMI, only for the Citadel. When my dd was considering attending, we stopped several female cadets while walking around to get their honest opinion. We found the consensus was that the "old way" was not...

they are being told they have to get them or out. might be different for athletes, not sure. c/o 25 and c/o 26 (preppie)

just a heads up, the Citadel does not start the new tuition program until fall of 2022.
