Hello all, I'm a AROTC MS2. Last year I purchased some off-brand combat boots at my local outdoors store. They were actually pretty great, but my battalion does a lot of rucking and they fell apart in less than a year. Since there is no-where near me that I can purchase a new pair, I have to...

When DS asks a person to write him a Letter of Recommendation for the Congressmen, the four Academies and the three ROTC scholarships, should he ask for a single letter that he can copy that is generically written about DS wanting to "serve as an officer in our armed forces", or should he ask...

Hello, I am currently competing for the Army ROTC National Scholarship. I have to enter my SAT writing score, but am not sure what to report as there is no single writing score for the new SAT. There is an essay score composed of three sections, reading, writing, and analysis. These are each...

Does anyone have any good advice on how to best prepare in Army ROTC to become a decent Infantry Platoon Officer and to avoid bad "butter bar" lieutenant mistakes?? What are some common mistakes that newly commissioned 2nd lieutenants make after completing ROTC and Service Academies? Would it be...

Hello! I am a rising senior and I am interested in joining the military. I want to do the AROTC but I will probably not get it because of my gpa. I read about the Minutemen scholarship and I wanted to know the answer to a couple of questions: 1. How competitive is it? I have a 3.39 gpa and...

My top (non-SA) schools are UCLA, Berkeley, and University of Michigan. I feel like I have a decent shot at each, but obviously the UCs especially are difficult to get into and I can't be sure of anything until I see the acceptance/rejection letter in front of me. However, I don't want to simply...

Hello, I am a rising Senior, and am torn between USNA & AROTC (only rotc offered locally). Assuming I earn the 4 year AROTC Scholarship, can I still reapply (and possibly earn admission to) USNA within my first 2 years of being on the AROTC scholarship at the college aforementioned, or does the...

I have a questions about commissioning Reserve component, after ROTC. After being accepted by a Reserve or Guard unit, during the time between, ROTC commissioning, and Basic Officers Leadership Course, does the newly commissioned Lieutenant train with their unit, to include the 14 or 15 day...

Say a high school student was a cadet for their state's national guard or the AROTC and they were looking at some schools outside of their state. Would it be possible for them to start over again in the new state's ROTC program whether it be the AFROTC, AROTC, NROTC, etc for a chance at a needed...

Unfortunately, I learned today that I had been medically disqualified from AROTC for the same reasons that disqualified me from attending USMA. Is it possible that the waiver review for AROTC will somehow turn out differently than it did for USMA? Is there still hope? Thanks.

Here is my situation: I was awarded a four-year Army ROTC scholarship and am all squared away to attend Baylor University in the fall... BUT I have not yet been medically cleared through DODMERB. I am expecting to be cleared (they are only reviewing a laparoscopic appendectomy I had in February...

Hi guys! I'm a female, non scholarship cadet, entering into my freshman year at Rhodes College. I am working on the APFT with my JROTC Army Instructor (AI), so I am making sure my pushups and situps are up to standard with him. For my first APFT I am shooting for anywhere in the 220 range (if...

1. I was offered a four-year type 7 scholarship for AFROTC. I was just cleared medically for air force. I also received a four-year AROTC scholarship, which is my first choice, but I have still not been medically cleared. I have already accepted that scholarship. Can I accept the AFROTC...

Hello SA Forum Community, I was medically disqualified from attending USMA about a week ago, and I'm worried that I will be medically disqualified from my AROTC Scholarship just the same. Is there a chance that DoDMERB reviews candidates' files in a different light for ROTC scholarships than...

Hello, My AROTC Scholarship status just changed from Boarded/Under Consideration to Boarded. Is this a good sign?

Hey everyone! I will try to keep it as short as possible, but I need some advice on some options I am looking into. So I waited all of high school to apply to all the service academies ('21), but didn't get accepted into any. I wanted to try again, so I decided to attend a jr. college and...

I understand that the 3rd AROTC Scholarship Selection Board is convening this week. When can I expect to receive a decision?

Would Friday, 23rd March, be a good guess as to when results will come out? It seems results came out quickly after the 2nd board. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I just got accepted for a 4 year type 7 AFROTC scholarship. I am now deciding between AFROTC and AROTC, where I also have a 4 year scholarship. More than anything I want to be a pilot. From the research I have done so far AF is the way to go for that. I know I have to perform well in...

Hi, I am in a bit of a pickle with my scholarships. As for the Air Force, I have received a type 7 and I live in Washington so I would use it at UW. However, I received a full 4 year scholarship from the Army to my top three schools. If I were to go Army then I would go to University of San...
