These presentations serve as a great recruiting tool for the SA's and ROTC.

I beg to differ. I'm all about teamwork and leading teams and did pretty well as a leader during my Navy and civilian careers.These presentations serve as a great recruiting tool for the SA's and ROTC.
I would beg to differ. It seems safe to say that not one single recipient of an ROTC scholarship or academy appointment coming straight out of high school accomplished this feat in a vacuum. Maybe it was a teacher, a counselor, a parent, a sibling, a coach, a friend, or any combination thereof...but nobody gets that far alone. Its about teamwork, it's about being a leader.
Ditto! My son just did something similar at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor and it was so special for all.Outstanding message, @kgbpost !!!
My sons high school is having their award ceremony in less than a month. He notified the ROO at his battalion and was told to wait, a local unit would be in touch. Should i have him reach out again or wait a little longer?
TOTALLY agree....it is super important. I was the first ever recipient of an ROTC scholarship from my small rural Minnesota high school in 1988.I’d like to add one thing for receipients of ROTC scholarships & SA appointments with respect to HS awards ceremonies. 5 years ago, when DS 2 graduated from HS, a classmate of his had recognition for appointment to USAFA. DS 3 was in 6th grade at the time and was in-tow. On the way home, he started asking about SAs. I didn’t know it at the time, but that HS awards night likely changed the trajectory of his life.
