Micahsmom - that IS funny. wow.

What I have found - most of the folks who have raised an eyebrow about my daughter being a cadet have limited or no military background, experience or knowledge. To many Americans, they can’t remember having a family member serve, so they really don’t have a frame of reference.
The mother of a friend of my daughter - asked me a year ago - “how could you let her…” yeah, lol. I saw her recently and she asked me how she was doing, was excited to hear she was doing well and amazed at her ambition. It was really neat to see her come around and feel some pride, too.

OK3-Wire - The Army has changed their scholarship process this year. Two years ago my daughter got a verbal offer in Oct during an interview. The Professor of Military Science doesn’t make the offers anymore they are coming from Cadet Command now. He may not hear until Nov - unless of course he pulled his application.
Some may disagree but I think he should keep his AROTC application open as well as acceptance to a back-up school, mostly in case a medical situation arises.
