I am a freshman ROTC student, but was enlisted (PFC) before signing my GRFD minuteman rotc contract for about 2 years. I went to basic training, not AIT (I was split option and was awarded the scholarship after basic but before AIT). After graduating and commissioning as a 2nd LT, I have a 6...

Hi, As many of you know, lots of engineering majors require you to complete a civilian internship as part of the course. My question is, can I do both AFROTC (possibly on scholarship) and an internship in my junior year of college? (For example, a degree in Manufacturing Engineering requires a...

I serve as a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army (CASA) and one of the coolest parts of the volunteer role is that I get to an allotment of Minuteman scholarships. These scholarships are similar to the 4- and 3-year national scholarships except they require a commission in the Guard or...

I know this has probably been asked a million times but I am eager to know what my chances are a receiving a scholarship. The army has been my dream for as long as I can remember and I am going to be first generation military in my family. Aside from reading what others have said online I...

Hello! This is my first post on this forum, I have been reading a lot of the previous posts and thought I would start my own. Any replies, advice, and/or constructive criticism would be much appreciate. I have just completed the AROTC application and interview this coming week, I also plan on...

My detachment has gotten word that headquarters is reducing the amount of cadets they are sending this upcoming summer to field training. Has anyone else heard this?

I have recently been moved to PMS interviewee status and was wondering where I should schedule my interview. My top schools are Stanford, Duke, and Vanderbilt. I do not live near any of these schools and was wondering if I should schedule my interview with someone whose school I’m not applying...

If you get an internship in the summer you're supposed to go to camp, could you request to get a regiment that works around your internship dates? Or are you just out of luck?

I’m currently a MS1 cadet and am also junior enlisted in the Army Reserves. I’m debating if I should try and volunteer for a deployment for next fall semester/ next school year. The main reason I would want to deploy is to get some actual active army experience in and see how everything...

I know it's the time of year when there are a decent amount of these, but I just want a second (or third or fourth) opinion on how likely I am to get a scholarship. I'm a girl Going into Pre-med 9-12 GPA: 3.8 SAT: 1260 (640 Writting/ grammar, 620 math) Letters: Marching Band/Color Guard...

I know that the Active Guard Reserve is an option for officers. From what I have seen, you cannot commission into the AGR from ROTC, as"you must be pending discharge from your component" (usar.army.mil). Is it hard to get into AGR as an officer before your discharge? Is it very competitive...

I won a 4-year national scholarship out of high school. I am now an MSIII. Does this guarantee that I'll get active duty if I put in for it? My PMS said he never heard of a 4 year winner not getting active.

Sorry if these questions seem silly, but our family is new to the military world and some of the information we’ve received has been confusing and at times conflicting, so I was hoping the forum could help simplify the info and break it down into terms I understand. :) My son is currently a...

I'm an MSIII cadet in Army ROTC. I know some scholarships are guaranteed National Guard and Reserves. Are there any scholarships that are guaranteed active? PS I am already contracted. Can I get that contract changed to guaranteed active duty if that option exists?

Can cadets take the Army Combatives Courses as part of summer training? Has anyone ever heard of cadets going to these courses?

How does the application to become an Army ROTC Gold Bar recruiter work? When does the application process? Do you apply only after you get your BOLC dates? How do you apply? Who do you contact? Do you apply to a specific school? Can you apply to more than one school?
