It really depends on the battalion. At mine, contracted and non-contracted are treated the exact same and you wouldn't know the difference between cadets. However, I've witnessed other schools operate a different way. You'll have to wait and see but more likely than not your son will not be...

Thanks for everyone's advice. This whole wait and see thing is killing me. I have a bit of a Type A personality and not knowing whats going on is kind of making me paranoid. Is it a bad thing that I haven't heard anything the last 4 months, not even what to do with the expired passport?

Is there somewhere I can call or email to find out about my security clearance status?

I meant to write something after my interview last November but I completely forgot. I had an interview just before Thanksgiving with a contractor. It seemed straight forward, we just talked through my SF86 and showed him the passport. He told me his job was to write up a report about the...

I completely agree that a lie here does start a slippery slope, one that he will probably continue to build on with other lies down the road into his career. But maybe thats just how he is and that is unfortunate. However, I think it is a little dramatic to go as far as saying his peers will...

How did you find out? No one, including me, from my battalion has heard anything about it yet.

I ended up deciding to renounce my Irish citizenship because I felt it was not worth rolling the dice and screwing up my clearance. Other than the fact it made it easier to see my family in Ireland, It didn't mean a whole lot to me so it wasn't worth messing up my chance of commissioning. I'm...

Thanks VB DAD and flieger83, I was figuring I would have to renounce it I was just looking for verification. I sent in my letter to the Irish embassy today so hopefully I can get through the Security Clearance process with few problems.

Also, the passport was used while I was a minor when I was 11, 13 and 17 (i apologize, it was used 3 times).

I am a MSII in Army ROTC who contracted at the beginning of the year. By contracting I also sent in my SF-86 for my Security Clearance. I have dual citizenship for the U.S. and Ireland, including an Irish passport that was used twice. I let my COC know immediately MSI year of my situation and...

In the the fall I will be an MSII and my 3-year Army ROTC scholarship will kick-in. I was wondering if a cadet is already on ROTC scholarship, are there any additional, or purpose, of enlisting in the NG at the same time? I haven't talked to my cadre as I only thought of it in the last few days.

I'm just curious, how does Cadet Command or your PMS find out about drinking tickets? It's my understanding that they're citations so they wouldn't come up on a criminal record or background search. Are they told by the police or the school?

If I knew I wanted to branch in combat arms (Infantry or Armor), other than keeping up a good GPA is there anything else I can do to better my chances to get one of those branches after I commission?

I received an AROTC scholarship through the first boards (Check one), and was qualified through DoDMERB (check two), whats next? I'm guessing we're going to be getting more paperwork right? I haven't gotten anything from Cadet Command since February.

I got scholarships to: University of Notre Dame University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign If I get into ND next month thats where I'm going otherwise UofI most likely.

Nd doesn't have ED but I applied to there EA. If I get accepted there all is well because that is my top choice but its a bit stressful month waiting to see if I get in or not. That's a good idea, I'll trying calling in on Monday and see if they can help me or not with admissions.

If we were awarded a scholarship but not to every school we requested, is it possible to get the scholarship for the other after the other boards? I was rewarded the scholarship to Notre Dame and U of I but I didn't get it for Boston College. ND is my top choice but if I don't get into ND, BC...

Mine changed also! (I've been looking at this site for months and this the first time I've been able to give input!)
