I second for Rugby. My son walked on with no prior experience, as do most. What a fantastic and supportive sport. The Academy coaching leadership and upperclassmen are very welcoming and accommodating. Really a great atmosphere of camaraderie all around, even with your competitors. Haven't...

No problem with notecards. Really anything general letter size works, from our experience. With our letters, we would include a folded self addressed and stamped envelope (with a few loose additional stamps and pages) to make it as easy as possible for him. He turned into a prolific writer...

Hog in the Sand is an excellent depiction of a A-10 pilot's deployment during the gulf war. I believe it may be one of the best books to specifically address your questions. Its also available as an audiobook.

I understand USAFA cadets received their initial base assignments last night (2/15). Any AFROTC detachments learn of theirs yet?

For those of us awarded a scholarship in the 2nd Army Board, anyone receive and email invite to the DODMerb or DODMet yet? None here, yet.

Any idea on when the results of this second board will be released?

Anyone see a full listing of all Army ROTC college/university units? I found a search engine, but no full listing. Thank you in advance

Fantastic. Thank you for the response. We weren't finding the correlation and timing spelled out clearly anywhere.

My DD applying to both AFROTC and AROTC 4-year scholarships (Type 1) as a high school senior. Does the application process trigger a medical evaluation, similar to an academy application? If not, when does that occur? Is it needed before a scholarship-board review? She is not applying to an...

My DD took the CFA at SLE and the results were emailed. They note the flex arm hang time as "at risk". Most everything else was at or above average. Her portal does not represent a pass or fail status. Is it true you can only "fail" the CFA twice in one year? Did the "at risk" result count...

Ok thank you. Good intel that CFA isn't really offered outside of SLE at USMA.

New to the USMA application process. Is there a Candidate Visitation Weekend offered (invite) at USMA similar to USNA? CFA conducted? If so, historically what are the approximate dates? Anything in the November time frame?

My DD fell short on the flex arm hang at SLE. She left under the impression that she could just repeat that section. Does that jive with anyone else's understanding? If she needs to retake the full CFA, any good ideas on where to conduct a USMA CFA accepted retake before August 9th? Has...
