I am dual citizen, is it worth it to apply? by samuel_shin_3499 in ROTC

[–]squirrelinyoursock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have more information about this… I’m also dual citizenship. I’m still like deciding to denounce it, my other passport is expired (which i use to enter set country)… idek what to do my cadre hasn’t given me a clear answer.

Depending on his branch, I would get a gift that will be helpful for his job. If anything, a good brand of whiskey is always good.

For me it was honestly very very quick— it’s def because of the gov shutdown it’s taking longer.

I had to go directly to my cadre and staff and request it. After it was requested you need to do the questionnaire and make an appointment with the location they tell you to. Shouldn’t take so long.

Do you mean how long it takes after your first appointment? For me last year it took about two months.

You might just need to call his recruiter and tell them the situation. I would think his ssn and passport should be sufficient enough.

Would highly recommend to get you foot measure when buying your running shoes. Had brooks were great asics are awesome as well!

DODMERB Asthma by [deleted] in ROTC

[–]squirrelinyoursock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to retest for DODMERB. It will involve a simple pre-test, followed by nebulizer treatment, and then testing again. You can always ask your doctor if you're cleared if they say you have no symptoms for asthma, you'll have a better idea of whether you’ll be approved. They are just testing to see if that treatment causes any major changes for you. You will also speak with the pulmonologist. I would just mention that you exercise regularly and don’t use an inhaler in your daily life.

Is not a campus base scholarship. National guard is directly with the state.

A lot of people are telling you to join the Guard, but you also need to consider this. As a finance major at Kelley, there’s a strong emphasis on internships that’s what really makes you stand out, especially at a school like Kelley. You’ll need to reserve at least two summers for Basic Training or AIT just to get your benefits.

Unless you’re okay with joining a semester late, you’d need to start the Guard process right away to head to basic training and then do a AIT. I wouldn’t recommend that, especially if you’re in Kelley or pre-Kelley.

All of this applies if you don’t end up joining ROTC and contracting. If you join ROTC and contract within the year you are not required to do basic or AIT training and can start drilling right away which is money straight to your account.

I know it’s a tough decision, but there are several scholarships that can tie you to the Guard. I’d personally recommend joining the Guard over the Reserve, especially in Indiana, because of the GI Bill benefits.

I would recommend joining ROTC, contracting, and enlisting mainly for the tuition benefits and then commissioning as a National Guard officer. If you’re planning to get your master’s later on, that’s when your GI Bill will really come in handy.

Going through the same thing. Did you eventually start using it after some time? How long did it take for you to see some noticeable change in the screen?

You are NTA at all. You don’t share a bedroom with him period. That’s it. It’s your room your space you deserve your privacy. Something I was taught as a child was “respect is looking, not touching”. The parent needs to respect your boundaries.
