The Class of 2017 just finished their march up the "Rock." They will be completing Recognition with their "Prop and Wing" ceremony shortly. This is a very happy time, as they will no longer be doolies.

NROTC made my son's decision a whole lot easier by requiring him to accept his scholarship a full month before UVa notifies potential Wahoos whether they've been accepted. We feel confident he'll get in, but with a 33% acceptance rate one can never be too sure. We finally got his paperwork...

When my son received his nomination letter for the USNA and USAFA, it did not state that he received the principal nomination....nor did it state that he did not receive the principal nomination. Does silence in this matter typically mean that our MOC doesn't choose a principal nominee? Or is...

Son got e-mail from USNA today saying his initial review has been completed but he needs to send in his first semester grades before a decision can be made. Bummer. More waiting.

DS was awarded the AFROTC scholarship and the NROTC scholarship. My question is: I hear all this talk of SFT after one's sophomore year and losing one's scholarship if one is not selected to attend. Can someone please point me to a source that gives a good explanation of what SFT is, how one is...

Hi all. My DS' NROTC portal was just updated to state he got a scholarship to UVa. It looks like February board results are starting to trickle in. Now the tough decisions start!! GOOD LUCK to every one of you!!

Just a quick question. I re-read DS' AFROTC scholarship information last night. It specifically says the AFROTC scholarship is non-binding and that if he accepts an ROTC scholarship from another branch his AFROTC scholarship is automatically voided. BUT it doesn't mention the service...

Anyone who has experience with AFROTC at Embry-Riddle, I would be grateful if you could weigh in with your opinions on the detachment. My son has a Type 2 AFROTC scholarship and ERAU just awarded him an additional scholarship. He's quite please, to say the least. While there are still other...

Is there a section of the Candidate Information page where one would be able to see one's appointment status? I see my DS test scores, nomination, etc. But for the life of me I don't see anywhere on this page where it states an appointment status.

Has anyone heard anything from Congressman Hurt's office as of yet? My DS interviewed the first week of December and we've received no word one way or the other. I was not quite clear on whether he'd receive a no-go letter if he wasn't selected.

Check the website, all. DS logged on today and was notified he received a Type 2 scholarship! Whew. What a nice Christmas gift. We are beside ourselves with joy!

My DS received a course catalog in the mail and I received a new parent guide. Does this mean anything? He has not received any other type of notification that he made it into the academy. Of course we want to hope this is a good sign. But we also don't want to read anything into something...

My son is applying to the academy and ROTC. His officer interview for the academy was held in August. That officer told him the interview would serve as his officer interview for the academy AND ROTC. Is this true? I just want to make sure we're doing everything the right way.

My son applied for the NROTC scholarship. He also started the process to join the Navy Reserves. So we have established a relationship with his local recruiter and I feel confident with the information he passes on to us. Today I get a phone call from his recruiter saying he wasn't...
