DS was awarded 4 year with AFROTC and AROTC and we are awaiting NROTC-MO decision. His AROTC schools of choice were a minimum of 3 hours away. He had a tough time with the local programs during Dec with holidays and all. Reached out to another program about 1.5 hours away to get his interview in on the cutoff date to be boarded at the 2nd board. I drove hime there and after the initial interview of about 15 mins, the PMS officer asked if I could come in. I beleive he was exercising his options to recruit DS. The school did not offer his degree program but nonetheless, he was honest in his desire for DS to enroll. Really important to have the interview conducted by the PMS instead of the ROO and if you can swing it, go to your school of choice. If you are a competitive candidate, and the PMS officer wants you-his notes and write ups about the interview will go a long way
