I believe that VMI sent me some admissions paperwork, and I put down my intent to enroll in Navy ROTC. However, after re-examining what I wanted to get out of my military service, my parents and I decided that I should do Army ROTC. If the paperwork that they sent me is when I locked-in my...
I'm currently in my freshman year of college and I'm transferring down to the big school this spring in order to finish out my Bachelors. I wan't to become a fighter pilot for the Air Force. I was thinking of joining ROTC at the big school cause the small affiliate school I attend doesn't offer...
Our DS was awarded a 3-year national scholarship last year. Unfortunately, the college he chose was not a good fit (no academic or disciplinary issues), so he has moved on to another (yes, much more expensive) school that is in a different Brigade. I understand that all the paperwork to move...
I got offered a 4 year type 7 scholarship for a technical major. When I completed the application through Holm center, I had my major preferences as General Studies (because Kinesiology my desired major was not available in the drop down list), Computer Science, and Aerospace Engineering...
Since I am possibly going to be doing AROTC this upcoming year, I can’t help but wonder what it’s like considering quarantine and covid-19. Is it still just the classes but online and pft by yourself at home?
Since my last thread didn't garner any answers, I'm trying to ask a more broad question about my situation.
At what point do AROTC students serving in reserve components of the military need to acquire a dd386 from their service? Is it as soon as they start taking ROTC classes? After their...
I'm an enlisted airman in the reserves. I'm in the second year of my six year contract. I am going back to college and also looking into commissioning. My first thought was to find an AFROTC detachment at colleges near me. I know for certain that someone is able to do both af reserves and...
I won the national award for a 3 year army ROTC scholarship at several schools. At this point in time, it looks like I will be deciding to attend UC Berkeley, with George Washington University as a runner up. I am unsure as what I would like to do in the future, but I am very interested in...

Background:
To begin with, I have dreamed of attending one of the SA's since I first learned about them my Freshman Year in high school. They seemed to be the best opportunity in the world to me: a top education with extensive military training and a guaranteed career in the military upon...
Howdy y’all,
If I join AROTC in college, is it reasonable to still apply to my top choice of another SA branch? (Will this put me behind other applicants for USAFA/USNA? Will I still be able to get a nom from AROTC to USNA?)
Thank you.
Howdy y’all,
I was curious whether how the route one chooses for NROTC (Marine Corps v Navy v Navy Nurse) affects his/her ROTC experience in college...
Does everybody in NROTC train together, participating in the same activities, regardless of which path in the navy ppl choose? Or do they...
I will be attending VMI this fall (or whenever COVID-19 finally lets up), and I am planning to pursue a commission in the Navy. However, I didn't pick up the 4-year scholarship. I am going in as a Tier 3 Major (History), and I don't want to force myself to pursue a Tier-1 Major because I know...
I see it a lot in the posts on this site, and I can say that I have been there myself... "I regret not going to a service academy".
I spent most of high school a good application. I about as close to an appointment as you can get, the letter was sitting on the liaison officer's desk in...
Hey all. I wanted to get some insight on the options that my brother has. Any thoughts would help.
He is an Army ROTC nursing scholarship recipient. He is currently finishing his second semester of his freshman year up. A couple of days ago when he came home (due to quarantine) he told the...
Hello everyone, I’m extremely considering the Air Force ROTC program and I’m wondering if any of you could give me a little insight to see if I’m even worth considering for a Air Force ROTC scholarship. Below I’ve listed my achievements and anything I deemed fitting to list:
ECs:
4.26 GPA...
Are the type 1/2/7 based off the supscore of your testing or composite on an individual test? o_O (Applying soon here and hope it’s superscore)
- Also, I was reading about the type 1 scholarship today and am wondering how competitive is this one? What percentage of applicants get each...
I am a HS senior and I want to fly in the military. To keep things simple I know that the Marine Corps has PLC and you can get a guaranteed aviation contract. I also know it is possible to get selected as a pilot with AFROTC. Is it possible to be in both at the same time and choose one before I...
Hi, so just some background information on myself, I’ve already been offered the 3 yr advanced designee AROTC scholarship, and I am currently working through the medical process right now. I just took the optometrist exam, and I failed the PIP test pretty bad. I only got about 2 or 3 right. I...
I am currently a high school student attempting to plan out my general career education plan. I have been interested in military service for several years now, and am also looking to have tuition paid for through programs of the US military (air force).
While I am not opposed to serving some...
