NROTC,
The problem with internet forums is you cannot read intonation.
I am pretty sure my post said.
1, Nothing in any of your posts would in the AF or AROTC world get you a deferment for Gap.
Am I incorrect wasn't that your original response that AFROTC allows it. Isn't that how this thread diverted in the 1st place? You brought AFROTC into the conversation, not me, not kinnem, YOU!!
2. Your issue with me asking why is this a discussion?
Are you not going NROTC?
~~~ If so this is moot since there is no place in the acceptance form to ask for deferring. AFROTC and AROTC does have it, but in your own words NROTC doesn't.
Yes they allow it, and you can have it until the cows come home, but it doesn't change the fact that they don't allow what you are looking for. THUS, this is moot. That was my point.
I am truly sorry you are taking my response as harsh, but I will not apologize regarding my opinion. You have said you don't have a plan and you want an academic break.
I want a break from paying my mtg and car loans for a yr, but this is the real world and I signed on a dotted line just like you.
You will have to figure that out on your own. Here's a hint: Anybody posted yes yet regarding your situation?
You should contact HQ NROTC, we should have stated that in every post, and not our opinions.
I will apologize for not doing that. I don't know your circumstances. I am betting NROTC would defer a recipient if their parent is stage 4 cancer terminal.
I am also betting if you say the same to them as you have to us....academic burn out, no plan for a yr. Chances are they will say, submit your request and we will get back to you when it is processed.
Again...read between the lines.
OBTW, just curious since you did not answer my questions I posted.
Did the folks pay the non-refundable deposit for the college already?
Did the school agree to defer your admission to next yr.
~~~ You said they support and promote GAP, but never said they acknowledged you would do GAP this yr. and will now be class of 18
~~~~~~Don't you just hate it when posters don't answer direct questions?
I know I am the biggest wench in the world. I am mean. I am pompous. I am condescending. I bring no value to the conversation in your mind. Did I hit all of your opinions regarding me? I get it. Just remember, I also am the real world person that won't coddle you. My harsh personality will be your driving force to shove it in my face.
I am more than happy to have you come back tomorrow and say SUCK IT PIMA.
If that occurs, my goal was achieved...you fought for it. You stood on your own 2 feet and took a stand. That is what leaders are made of.
Old song...Cruel To Be Kind.
Ask your folks they'll know the chorus of that song

I want a break from paying my mtg and car loans for a yr, but this is the real world and I signed on a dotted line just like you.
And what did you think it was that I wanted? ("I would love to say I am not sure what you want from us, but I am pretty sure I know what it is, and nobody is giving it.")
