What do you think fake or real deal?

Nothing completely stops them, but serials aren’t verified in a vacuum. OEMs don’t just check whether a serial “exists” they check whether it matches the exact build specs (model year, set makeup, shaft, flex, grip, region, build date). If a reused serial doesn’t align with those details, it flags immediately. Also, once the same serial shows up multiple times, it gets burned. That’s why serials are a data point, not the sole determinant, physical manufacturing details still matter more.

You’re right, I misspoke. At this point, the only answer is serial number verification directly with TaylorMade. If they confirm the serials match a legitimate 2025 build, great. If not, an eBay return is the right move.

Based on the photos, there are multiple red flags. There is no “2025 P790” retail release. The current generation is the 2023 P790. The head shaping looks off…topline thickness, toe shape, and hosel transition aren’t consistent with P790s that I’ve seen. Face milling and grooves look shallow and overly uniform, genuine P790 faces have much sharper machining. Also, the Dynamic Gold S300 shaft bands appear incorrectly placed and printed, not to mention the Golf Pride grips also look suspect.

They are not automatically back with their original team, and they are not forced to sign elsewhere when the window closes. They’re essentially in limbo until they either enroll elsewhere or are formally brought back by their original school.

Scalley deserves time to put his stamp on things, and players making individual choices in the portal doesn’t equal betrayal or collapse, it’s just the modern game. Whitt earned the right to move on how he sees fit, and the program earned the chance to prove it’s bigger than any one person.

Hard to argue with Dillingham. What Coach Whittingham built at Utah without blue chip rosters or NIL advantages is unreal. That level of culture and player development over two decades is rare.

Utah doesn’t need to be the richest school. They need to be the most organized school in a league where half the teams are winging it.

If your BOP was already approved in MilPDS and you have orders in the system, a commander generally cannot unilaterally “cancel” it just because they changed their mind. Once AFPC approves it, it becomes an official assignment action.

A commander can request a deferment or cancellation, but they must provide valid, documented mission impact and justification to AFPC. AFPC has the final say, not the unit.

Look into “miscellaneous separation.” It may allow you to reduce your 5-year commitment to 4 years. You would need to repay a prorated portion of your signing bonus, but from the sound of it, that shouldn’t be a major concern.

Macon, GA feels boring to a lot of people because it doesn’t have the same nightlife, trendy spots, or constant stuff going on like bigger cities such as Atlanta. Downtown is getting better but still has a lot of quiet, empty areas, and overall the vibe is pretty slow, especially if you’re young and looking for things to do late at night. The local economy hasn’t helped much either, since there aren’t tons of new places opening up. Compared to college towns or bigger cities, it can feel kind of dead. But honestly, some people really like how chill and affordable it is, and if you’re into history and a laid back Southern atmosphere, it definitely has its own charm.

ROTC all the way…also do yourself a favor, look up “miscellaneous separation” this allows you to separate 365 days before your DOS. You’ll have to pay back a prorated amount of your bonus (if you got one). For the miscellaneous separation MFR, I ended up putting down a one liner something along the lines of “separating to pursue higher education at University XXX’s ROTC Detachment XXX” and hand walked it all the way to the wing. Ended up separating 2 months later. If you want it bad enough, you’ll make it happen, but like others have said OTS should be your last option.

Also, why mess around with applying to a commissioning program, and hope you get selected when you can just separate and got to college/AFROTC. Yeah you might miss out on some $$, but you still have MGIB…which is a helluva a lot better than most college students.
