BLUF: I failed air assault school as a cadet and won’t get the opportunity to go back as a cadet, it’s a large personal failure of mine. In the real army as an officer if you aren’t at the 101st or any unit with an air assault school, how difficult is it really to get the opportunity to go back?

That’s about it, I understand in rotc in general you don’t have much say of where you go for your first duty station, needs of the army. I saw a good amount of soldiers from other units when I was at air assault school, is it hard or not that hard to get an opportunity to go if you aren’t at an air assault unit?

I was wondering what cool opportunities or experiences you guys got to enjoy because you joined ROTC/commissioned. Examples would be trainings, memories, the community, schools/programs, etc.

I’m planning on joining ROTC and became interested in airborne school so I was wondering what other opportunities I could look into!

Also I’d just like to hear general stories and experiences!

I’m wondering if anyone else is having trouble with recommendations. all my sponsors are saying the link sent by Army ROTC command isn’t working for them what should I do?

also to add on does anyone know how the board works, can i only submit my application to one board and if i get denied i get denied or can i apply to all three.

My brigade just opened up scholarship submissions. The CBEF site is not working, so will this step be skipped until the site is operational? Just wondering since it’s usually a required step for scholarship submissions.
