[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are reducing the number of ROTC scholarships(Army and Air Force). Also ROTC is consolidating or eliminating programs at schools with smaller or under enrollment programs. What I have heard is they are looking to concentrate in southern schools, schools with a large corps and anti DEI(ie no minorities).

The military academies will be under the same anti DEI push. So if you are a minority think very hard about either option.

If you go ROTC make sure the college/university you select will continue to have a program. This may only apply to the Army but ask! [/quote]

Yes, we’d definitely focus in on the programs longevity once he starts to narrow things down. Right now the sports recruiting piece is a big focus for him, so that’s taking attention right now. He’s not a minority but it’s sad to hear that if he were, he should reconsider it. My hope is that this admin is out fairly quickly. Either way, he’s not basing his decision on current politics.

Just a reminder that even with coach recruiting he still has to get in.  Unless he is a standout star for football and limited Navy lacrosse, he will still need to meet all requirements and get an appointment.  There are very limited options for the coaches to work outside of that system at the academies.  It really is the appointment that we found the hardest.  I am not sure of your locatin but if in the DMV lots of kids try for Navy due to location, then West Point and then AF.  They all lead to very different places with most kids entering knowing exactly where they want to be and what they hope to do after.  Mine is Army and wouldn't consider one of the other branches.
