I've received quite a few emails and PMs from people asking questions related to ROTC, OCS, West Point, the commissioning process, and specific branches. The questions have been focused and well-researched, and I'm always glad to talk to aspiring officers, but much of my information about pre-commissioning and what young LTs need to know is 16+ years old. I'm starting this thread so people who have questions about pre-commissioning programs can ask them here and have them answered by people whose information is a bit more current.
Ground rules: If you want to ask a question here, no problem, just keep in mind that most of the members here will expect you to do your own research first, to communicate effectively and concisely, and to otherwise act like the officer you aspire to be. If you're responding to a question asked about a pre-commissioning program, please restrict your response to factual, current (i.e. what's happening "now," not what you saw happen years ago) and accurate information.
A bit later I'll post up some of the questions I've been asked in the past and see if anyone has any input.
