Almost two weeks ago I put in a transfer request for my AROTC Scholarship. I had talked with the ROO at the school and he said "The wait time on that sometimes varies, but I will be following up with Cadet Command to make sure that it is honored on time," when I asked about how long it would take to hear back about the request. I haven't talked with the ROO since and I haven't heard anything from Cadet Command. Should I reach back out and readress the transfer again as the deadline for deciding what school I attend next year is May 1. I am visiting the school this Sunday and will see the ROO there so I could always wait to follow up till then. I know that results were just released for the final board (I applied and won a four year during the second board). I don't want to bug him and Cadet Command may just be getting reorganized now that final results came out.
Should I Follow Up With ROO About Transfer?

Since it has been two weeks, a nice email follow up is fine. I would also remind him that you are visiting campus, and request to meet with one or more of the cadre members, and get a cadet's contact info as well.

You aren't bugging them. I'd email ROO and Cadet Command tomorrow and just ask for a status update on your transfer request.

Hopefully, should be soon now that third board is over. Are there any situations like your awarded schools were in-state public and now you are hoping to transfer to a private school? If so, I believe that can take a little time.
My son transferred from in state public to out of state public and it was about two weeks or so.
Forgot to update but my transfer got approved the morning after I posted this... It was from an out of state public to an in state private. Took about two weeks.
