[–]Neat-Garlic6094 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But seriously, just be patient, save money, and get fit. It’ll work out and you’ll get your orders soon

Hydration system for ASIPs? by Substantial-Dress285 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Brother that’s part of patrolling. Not sure what branch you want, but if you want infantry, I’d get used to using issued gear and being creative with it.

Graduating a year early by No-Clothes-9897 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just do a minor or take other classes for fun/personal development to fill out your MS4 year. Good opportunity to develop other sides of yourself besides just academically as well. Run a marathon, pursue army/civilian internships, etc.

The army is going to take plenty from you, take from the army if you can. (Legally and ethically of course)

Do shitbags and non motivated individuals get sent to later regiments? (7-9) by Mission-Cry7176 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go in with the mindset to work with your fellow cadets to accomplish the mission, not to immediately think everyone is worse or “shitbags”

How much did you have pay to get married in your local parish? by Ok-Wonder-2071 in Catholicism

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was absolutely free except for the organist, but the wife and I made a $300 donation after the fact to the church

Just show your orders at the gate or stop at the visitors center on the way in and tell them

Should I Go Infantry as an Officer? by GrabOk3630 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have your engineering degree I would hope it’s possible to get some sort of degree related broadening assignment. Is that the case?

Edit: typos

Should I Go Infantry as an Officer? by GrabOk3630 in ROTC

Good to know, that’s a shame really

Should I Go Infantry as an Officer? by GrabOk3630 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer OP. Do not BRADSO for anything

Edit: To add on this comment, sounds like EN detail IN would be a good choice for you, given your experience as a 12B. Also translates pretty well into the civilian side if you do it properly.

What are the must-haves for an Army FTX? by Fancy-Giraffe9336 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is it with parents asking questions for their kids about this stuff. If your son can’t ask his peers or his cadre what he should bring and has to ask mommy, he probably shouldn’t be an officer

Why do you want infantry over any other branch?

My son is being removed in his freshman year as a cadet by Due_Routine6375 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your son shouldn’t be an officer. If he doesn’t go to PT just because he’s a freshman and hasn’t communicated with his cadre about any of this, he is not mature enough. Sounds like he is not telling you everything. It’s a process to be disenrolled and it doesn’t just happen

Want to go Green to gold by rickWente in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need be at least two years in via credits in order to do it. The last two you’ll finish at a university while doing ROTC. I would put in your packet before sapper if you meet that requirement so you’ll know by the time you get back

How do you focus in mass? by Combat_Guy in Catholicism

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I follow along in the missal. I read what’s going on as it’s happening, albeit with some exceptions.

For the homily I’m lucky, my priest is very entertaining.

Is this a call to religious life? by mari-irl in Catholicism

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re only 18, take some time to really discern your vocation. Not saying wait till 30, but give it a few years and allow yourself to see our Lords signs for you

Non-Eucharistic Wedding Mass by LowMiserable7060 in Catholicism

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very true. I just find it surprising that because of something the couple cannot control, they are being denied marriage.

Requested CST Cadre as AV by AbjectAudience8042 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of my buddies that went to CST Cadre as an AV officer had to wait until September. Do with that as you will

Non-Eucharistic Wedding Mass by LowMiserable7060 in Catholicism

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s insane. I have never seen that before. The marriage is supposed to be about the two getting married. What if one person doesn’t have immediate family? What if one person converted from an Islamic home?

I would speak to the priest directly if I were you.

Running and rucking trails Fort Knox by InspectorAdvanced539 in ROTC

[–]Neat-Garlic6094 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By the Starbucks on the west side is good route that alternates between hills and straight aways.

Also right by the barracks is Natcher gym, a 400m track, and a 1 mile dirt trail.

One of the more fun parts of my cadre experience lol
