Back on topic...cadets at VT must do push ups for every touch down with a cheerleader on their back...so make sure you are physically prepared. I believe they rotate each branch, and of course the cadets too.
Ha! I wish.

DS is currently finishing up his first year in the corps on a NROTC scholarship. He's also in the engineering school. He's had a great year, really likes both Tech & the corps, and has made a lot of friends. He's headed to USNA in the fall (second year applicant), but making the decision to leave was really tough.
If you haven't found them yet, there are two "Parents of VTCC Class of 2015" groups on facebook. The "Parents of VTCC Class of 2014" was really helpful last year. DS and I would be happy to answer any questions.
VA Tech is currently winning me over quite rapidly right now. Still waiting on the NROTC scholarship, but whether or not I receive it will little affect my decision to attend Virginia Tech right now.
Ut Prosim.
Edit: I'll be hailing from all the way out here in Hawaii, so the scholarship does carry some weight. Hooray for out-of-state costs!
Hi WardNC....yes, out of state H$$$urts, I know! I wanted to answer your question...our son did receive one of the ELS's. That was nice! Can you say "laptop"? And I just figured taht you are from NC! Neighbors. We go to the OBX whenever we can get there. Going in two weeks for spring break, as a matter of fact!
I hope your son gets to attend VT if that is what he wants. Our poor Class of 2015 kids are hitting college at a bad economic time.
Hi Brass! Yes, I found the closed group on FB. Thank you! Glad to hear that your DS enjoyed the Corp and ROTC. Our DS is in same situtation....got the QNV letter last week from AFA and plans to reapply after freshman year. That is, unless he drinks enough of the Hokie koolaid! CONGRATS on the USNA acceptance! I sure do love Annapolis! If you don't mind me asking, was his first year really tough in ENG? I know that the first year they all take the same classes so prepare me for what's to come "gradewise". DS is an oustanding student BUT one who has never had to crack a book. I'm assuming that will change this Fall????
I'm sorry about the scholarship! I'm assuming you've applied to & been accepted to the Corps as well as VT? As long as you're in the corps, getting into the NROTC college program doesn't look like it will be an issue. Go to question #7 on this page:
http://www.usnavy.vt.edu/about/faq.htm#7
From what DS has said, whether you're on scholarship or college program doesn't make any difference in what you do.
Congrats, to The Animal! We are heading to VT today to drop off DS for the Stay the Night / Cadet program.
Hello all. I will be attending VT CoC in the summer under NROTC. I'm hoping to select SEALS after grad. Anyone else looking to do the same? I'm looking for someone to train with.
