<p>In advance of the AFROTC application deadline, my son and his school mailed all required materials. A month or so after mailing, he checked on-line and the website showed his application status as completed.</p>
<p>3/9 he checked again, not having heard anything. The status showed ‘Missing extracurriculars’.</p>
<p>In speaking with the ROTC Counselor this morning, he advised there was nothing that could be done for this year and my son would have to reapply for next year.</p>
<p>AFROTC was a back-up plan for my son should he not get an appointment to the Academy or prep school, so while frustrating and upsetting, not the end of the world.</p>
<p>I post this for those who are more invested in the AFROTC; be sure to regularly check status and contact your counselor at least every two weeks. Same should be said for the Academy.</p>
