Enlisting and ROTC -

I forgot about this website for a while, and to say the least... yes that's true... I closed my previously opened application for C/O 2027.

I love it here
Been wondering how things were going for you! Glad to hear you found your people.

I’m so glad to see this update! Was hoping it would be great for you. DS is ready to hold his spot there for C/O 2027 and I pray he has the same feeling!

Good to see you drop by and hear you are happy. I think many of us joined you as you tried out multiple roller coasters here at SAF, with 600+ posts in just over 2 years. That was your process, essentially thinking out loud and inviting us along, nothing wrong with that, and I am glad to see you settled in a good path.

Keep us posted with Norwich insights, as well as what you think of VT winters. 🥶

It's nice that you mention VT winters; it's been ABNORMALLY warm here this time of year. I've heard from upperclassmen that near the middle of October; it was snowing last year. While, this year - although the mornings before sunrise are cold; we've been dealing with 60s and 70s for the past 3 weeks, no offense I'm not complaining.

I've experienced PT in the mornings in the grass - when my hands going numb... that's for sure not fun

Definitely let me know if he has questions! This year is actually different, we're told that Recognition is, as a motivation of sorts. December 3, 2022.

If it's not moved up of course, we've had more than 100 Rooks drop out, so if it get's moved up to this month, I am not sure

Over 100 rooks have already dropped out of the Norwich CC? Yikes! :mad:
 
Indeed, quite unfortunate noting that this year's Rook Class was one of the smallest, 350 Rooks in the beginning
Michael - I was one of your strongest critics. Proud of you for making the 1st cut. Northfield is a dark and dreary place in the winter months. Don't lose your focus. Really appreciate you logging in for the update. I agree with @JohnGalt78. Shut it back down, get back to work. Focus on your class work. Rec day is cool, enjoy it and get back to work. Proud of you!

A reflection of the status of the current and upcoming HS grads nation wide. The Army is having more :


More and more BCT privates are being shipped to "pork chop" or "fat boy" platoons after failing the PT test at the reception station.

Covid, video games, couch potatoes the perfect storm.
 
Well well well... it has officially come full circle... December 4, 2022 - at 1930; the Class of 2026 was Recognized and has officially joined the ranks of the Corps.
I always ask my “Norwich spy” about you. Keep up the good work! Norwich Forever!

Well done! You played your part in that. Finish the semester strong and enjoy the holidays.

My son tells me that they saw a similar number of departures from the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets this year (they started with around 435 and lost 125). I can't say for certain, but I suspect those attrition numbers are fairly common in the SMC programs.
