r/ROTC

I wanted to branch armor, I talked to the AR table at CST and he gave me more on the heavy side, what opportunities can I get in the light side? Would I be able to go to air assault ect.?

There's an update on the court docket. It appears he's entering a guilty plea again next week on 10/15 ahead of the scheduled panel trial scheduled to start on 10/19.

How important is it have clubs or be an athlete? I know it looks better but whats the most important thing when wanting to get a high OML?

Hello all! I want to pursue and masters in toxicology and pharmacology; however, it’s quite the financial burden. I thought ROTC could help to support my goals and I can do more practical work while in the Army later on (CBRN when captain).

I reached out to multiple ROTC program directors and most of them said that there are various funding issues across the country, so a masters which is more expensive than a Bachelor’s would be extremely competitive. One of them even recommended I try to fund it with other sources.

My question is: is getting a tuition-based ROTC scholarship still achievable or is this just a pipe-dream at this point?

Thanks in advanced!

I'm currently a contracted MS1 and my university starts students on the pre-law track freshman year (we have a couple advisors and a large pre-law population). I'm hoping to do pre-law --> ed-delay, but I'm worried about the possibility of ending up going to law school, but not being selected into the JAG corps. Is this pretty rare, and why would the army give students ed delay, but not give them JAG contract as well (assuming they don't have an egregious law school record)?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I know this is a bit early to be thinking about but my school takes this seriously.

I recently had my PMS interview through a Zoom meeting with my top choice school (Ivy League). In this interview it lasted around 30 minutes (I joined 10 min early), but the thing is the PMS asked questions only about what my academics, leadership, and athletics were and only one question about why I want to be an Army officer. They didn’t ask any questions about my weaknesses, strengths, what integrity means to me, ethical dilemmas, etc. After the interview they just asked if I had any questions and told me that they would recommend me to the admissions officer. So what happened? Kind of confused since I was expecting more questions.

I’m an MSIV hoping to branch Infantry and I’m trying to figure out when I can submit my final post preferences. I submitted an initial list about a month ago but want to revise it.

I assume final lists would be submitted after branch assignments, but can’t remember when my friends in previous years gave theirs.

Usual rules apply - do not suggest or outright post any sort of master list. When you provide your AD-eligible/Guard/Reserve status, also provide your censored OML, e.g. 15XX / 61.XX

Hello,

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I'm looking at possibly ETSing from active duty soon and am curious about being an instructor with ROTC.

Quick background on myself: I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2001 and served a few years as an 0311. I then commissioned as an 11A in the army then went to SF. I eventually resigned my commission and became an 18D then 18F and am now a 180A.

If there are any instructors here, what does that job look like? Would I be able to continue service with 19th or 20th group as well? Anything you wished you knew before starting?

Thank you. DOL.

When will they release how many people can each branch take based on slots?

Hello everyone,

I am a MS3 on the National army HS 3 year scholarship. I applied to Pharmacy school in my MS 2 year and got in, meaning now I am in my first year of pharmacy school. I did a 2+4 year program so I did 2 years of undergrad and now I am in professional school. I am already contracted and I am on track to go to camp this summer. My cadre do not know anything about getting an ed delay and getting the HPSP scholarship for my situation. They are skeptical that I will even get it, I do not want to bring down my studies continuing to do a program that might not even let me continue. If I do not get the ed delay, I will have to drop ROTC and pay back all of my scholarship money they have paid thus far. I have talked to an health care recruiter and she said I needed to get the ed delay this year but my ROTC contacts are saying to wait till next year after camp. I am looking for any advice or info on this situation. I am trying to manage being in pharmacy school, all MS3 rotc commitments, have a job, and plan for my future. Any info would be of great help.

in 2024, i went to a university and joined ROTC for a single fall semester and dropped out after not completing some online classes that following spring semester to enlist in the Guard. my gpa after dropping out is 2.3gpa (still viable at the college) since i completed basic and ait (MOS: 13F), i’m interested in all the aspects that comes with the SMP program like pay, if i jump forward in MS (1-4) and if they would accept me back into ROTC? any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I know this is dependent on the program. I was thinking about doing ROTC at my state school after I finish my BA in the spring.

I am going into ELA teaching, but I want to get my master's and have always wanted to join the Guard. My state guard would pay full tuition for ROTC while I get my master's, and I was wondering what to expect in a 2-year program.

Could I maintain a part-time job? I currently work full-time while being a full-time student.

What is drill like? like I know there is drill weekend but what does my everyday look like compared to an average student?

Any advice would be extremely welcome, thank you!
