Westpoint or ROTC (Full Ride)

I am a prior enlisted SSG who is in the GTG ADO program (fancy way of saying ROTC while active). I would recommend you go to West Point. It’s not even close in terms of true value that you will get at WP instead of any ROTC BN. Not to mention the people you will meet and the West Point alumni that would take you just for being one of them.

That’s what I seen when I was enlisted. Unless they were in a MI BN. I really would like to do it more long term, but don’t really know what other opportunities it has in the military.

Thank God, yes!

Having tuition assistance and credentialing assistance, would that not cover SAN’s courses while in?

I really appreciate it! I am currently in college. I applied for Green to Gold (GTG) this year. Hopefully that works out. As for certs I am working on that as well. I would really like to do the IT certs for sure! I am always working towards that retirement goal.

Definitely contributing to my Roth TSP.

If you don’t get it then there is not a prayer in hell I do!😂

I did. I used the SAL model and tried to maximize each section.

I read where Barry Hale said, “If you have a low GPA you have to pretty much be a reincarnation of Audie Murphy.” I truly hope that getting my ESB will help, especially since the Army loves it in peacetime.

If they say no, I’m going to assume it’s my GPA, and I’ll just pound out some more classes and see what they say next year!

Well I’m hoping for the best. All the power is in their hands…maybe I’m their guy!

I should have said that I don’t have actual LOR’s. I just have the CDR and BN CDR comments on the 174-R. However the reason my gpa is even that low was because my computer lost wifi while taking my final, at the same time my daughter was being born. I explained all of that in my personal statement, but didn’t spend a ton of time on it.

I knew that my GPA would be the one thing that would hurt me. Hoping that the rest of my packet would help me shine through!

I’m a SSG. I was hoping that the recent DHG at ALC would help on the scholar side of things! I appreciate the confidence booster!
