My name is Cody and I am 17 going into my senior year at a private college prep school. I struggled with some personal issues these past couple years and as a result my grades suffered. As of now, I have a 2.7 ( 3.0 in a public school) and play baseball, involved in 4 clubs, and am now starting...

The Army ROTC scholarship application window is now open. Application link: http://www.goarmy.com/rotc/high-school-students/four-year-scholarship.html Here are the requirements for the scholarship, along with completing the application: · You must be a U.S. citizen · You must be between...

I made a post awhile back detailing my situation as a late-game applicant to this board. In essence, I am a highly competitive applicant that made some significant mistakes in timing that led to me receiving a nomination very late and ultimately missing the medical deadline and thus being...

A future Cadet on this forum asked me about my experiences in ROTC, and I just happened to have written an essay for my English class on this topic. Its not all inclusive, but gives you a good idea of what to expect. I recommend showing up day one in great shape, not just able to pass the PT...

Hello, everyone. It has been a very long time since I posted on the forums here; I think it's been upward to four years. Just to give some background information: I was a high school four-year scholarship recipient at Penn State AROTC; performed strong academically and was heavily involved as...

I've been going back and forth between American University and the University of Pittsburgh as to where to request a scholarship transfer. Initially I accepted my scholarship at Cornell, but I was rejected and only found out on the 31st of March, so I obviously have to transfer. I would really...

I want to preface this by saying that in an ideal world, I would like to make the military my career so please look at this in that context. I've been offered a Type 7 scholarship from the AF as well as the 4 year from the Army. I would be using either of these at Purdue University under OOS...

After the results of the third board, I was disappointed to see I had again not earned a scholarship for ROTC. I am also a candidate for USAFA and USMA. After looking around the threads, It seems I am as qualified, if not much more qualified, than those who received 4 year scholarships to their...

The first time I attempted to join the military was with the Airforce in 2014. As I went through the medical questions with the recruiter I answered Yes to the question about spinal curve/deformity (scoliosis) The recruiter told me to get all the records I have from it and get current X-Rays...

Hi everyone. So I have this callas on my foot that will need to be removed at some point (already tried the freezing/burning otc treatments). Now I am having to schedule my DoDMERB exams soon and will not be having any sort of procedure before that. If I do have the callas removed, would that...

Today our cadre received news that FY 19 is all supposed to get line scholarships as long as they weren't already contracted. My question is that if I'm in the national guard and awaiting SMP non-scholarship paperwork to push through, will I be able to ETS and get that line scholarship? One...

So I am going to be attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach Campus) starting Fall 2017 and will be majoring in Aeronautical Science on scholarship from Army ROTC. I know it might be a long shot, but is there any guys or parents on here who have kids that are also going to...

I have received a varsity letter through jrotc drill and rifle team. Will they count as sports or as extracurricular activities? With that being said do I have any chance towards getting an AROTC or NROTC scholarship? Currently a high school junior Aspiring Major: Aeronautical Engineering GPA...

I was curious to know if for the 3rd and final AROTC board, still issued 4-year scholarships to applicants? Ive had my application completed since October and have been adding more to it as time goes on. I'm still placed at "Boarded" on my application, so I was interested to know, if there was...

I was just awarded an Army scholarship to TAMU and I have no real idea of what life is like in the Corps of Cadets. I have a few questions: Is it a full time commitment where you wear the uniform everywhere and everyday? Is their time for other things such as fraternities and intermurals? Can...

im thinking of majoring in defense and strategic studies, maybe with a dual major in something else... Is there anyone out there with this major? My first choice is aviation but if I don't get it I was wondering what it's like for someone with this major in the army

I have received appointments to both USMA and USAFA. I appreciate having a choice but I am very torn. I'm leaning more towards army because I have heard it described as a more people-driven service and I love West Point, which is also considered a little more prestigious because of its long...

Hello. I am a sponsored prep at Nmmi for the Merchant Marine Academy but I am debating switching to Rotc at a college near my home. More than anything I want active duty and doing more research I am finding that I might have a better chance through rotc than the academy because I know for sure...
