In high school I didnt have very good grades and I ended up getting my GED after I failed senior year, but I have been attending a community college. My question is, if I maintain a 2.5-3.0 GPA while in community college will I be able to get a ROTC scholarship or will I automatically be passed over because of my lack of a high school diploma and lack of strong academic background? This is for you recruiters or ex-recruiters or just anybody else who has been or has known somebody with this problem. I know it says on the Army website a list of requirements but I would like to know some first hand information.

Oh and I plan on getting into a four year school of course before trying for the Army ROTC scholarship. SUNY Cortland to be exact in New York State.

I am thinking of joining as an Officer as it seems like the life for me. However I am puzzled. A lot of my old school friends have gone off to join the regular infantry, Engineers, Paras and even Marines (UK of course) and you always here about the actions of these forces; the Marines and Paras have a reputation and everyone has heard of the light infantry.

But what do other serving UK military personnel think of the RAF Regiment? What sort of reputation do these guys have- are they merely regular infantry or something a bit more 'special'? I know their main job is to protect the RAFs material assets.

It's just you never hear about the RAF Regiment and I'd like to know how other servicemen and women percieve them. Thanks!

My wife is stationed at Fort Drum as a supply clerk, she is 11 months pregnant and lives in base housing. If we choose to stay in the army or for some reason they will not let her out, her unit will get deployed 3 months after the baby is born to Iraq for 15 months. I will have to quit my job and stay home and care for the baby which I would gladly do. But if something were to happen and she were to be killed in Iraq what would happen to us? Were would we go? I assume we would get some death benefit but I imagine we would have to leave. Does anybody know what would happen in this situation?

Can I renew my ID? I thought I wasnt covered anymore but when I went to get my medicine Tricare covered it. My mom doesnt know...my stepmom says no (but she married into the military life and doesnt really know ****), and my dad avoids the question...
-I am 19 years old.
-My dad is active Navy and my parents are divorced.
-I live in Atlanta with my Grandparents because im going to a 2 year college here. I am a full time student and I work part time.

If I Can... What steps do i need to take in order to get it and where do I go because everyone keeps telling me that the Atlanta NAS is shut down.

Ok a close friend of mine, (one who I grew up with) is and has been here illegaly. I've known him scence the 3rd grade and been friends ever scence, and I don't understand why he is still illegal!, He ranked 5th in our graduating class of over 400 students, going to college, and pretty much has the same life style as me, and now plans to join the Army; I guess What I'm asking is, Can the Army really help him with his legal status? or is there something he can do to become a legal citizen? is there a proces to do so??

You know, people aren't over there to help the people from the dictatorship, they are over there just so we can protect our profits and such. I honestly think that we should be helping them somewhere in africa where 20, 000 people a day are getting murdered.

some people don't handle being military spouses well w/ lengthy deployments and the stupidity thrown at them from the mil. itself even though the service and family members should have better treatment for at least all the time that is sacrificed.can you as the service member understand the possible resentment coming from your lover/spouse b.c. they view your commitment to the military as something before them if your spouse views Iraq as a frivolous pursuit? I'm obviously not yankee-doodle patriotic or a FRG (fam. readiness group) member with a spouse who has been in for years and is used to this (i also feel FRG is a joke, facade and ran by mostly women whose spouses are higher ranks at least 2/3 close to their 20 years of services + need to put up a supportive front. How many 1st sgts., sergeant majors or colonels does one see w/ wives who aren't active in volunteer work on the base/organizing bake sales? Not a bad thing, but it's just so unreal!)Did you choose marriage/reenlist?
