The Meeting Grounds for the Fangirl Army

AFJROTC offers a scholarship....The two downsides are that 1) you would have to serve in the service, 2) you have to be in the AFJROTC.....I know some of the website I read on have scholarships. But most of the time they are about legal stuff. It's always worth a shot. If I were you guys, try looking at the Daughters of the American Revolution, and other groups like that.

Hmmmm...

[Athos]

>.> Need I post links?

[Biki]

neither of those choices help me XD!

*snorts at DAR as it reminds her of gilmore girls*

[Nyx]

Well first, does just being a woman qualify me for the Daughters or is there more?

[Athos]

Well first, does just being a woman qualify me for the Daughters or is there more?

Yes, I do believe you have to be a woman, howerver there is more. There is a Sons of the American Revolution and the Daugthers. However, you do not have to be a member of their orginization to get the scholarship. To join the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution, you must prove that you're ancestor contributed to the American Revolution. My ancestor was John Hart who signed the Declaration of Independance, therefore I could be allowed into the Sons of the American Revolution. When I was a C/Major, I was bestowed the Daughters of the American Revolution medal...My little brother was awarded the Sons of the American Revolution medal XD. (I thought it was funny).This the link for the scholarships If you want a faster way of finding your local DAR chapter, let me know. I have some friends who can tell me any local chapter. Also, I would try the Scottish-Rite Souther Jurisdiction, the National Sojourners...However, if you're someone who is against the freemasons, then you might want to steer away from those two orginizations...

How did you get the Daughters of the American Revolution medal? XD

[Athos]

According to the Air Force JROTC guideline: [To be awarded the Daughters of the American Revolution Award, one must] Be in the upper 25% AS-IV and high school class. Be dependable with good character, disciplined, a strong leader, and committed to the patriotic understanding of the importance of AFJROTC training.

I was an AS-IV, in top 25%. I'm VERY dependable and good character (community service initiative), disipline (class on time, excellent grades, class conduct and participation), I was a strong leader- I was the Cadet Group Commander after all, and I was committed to the AFJROTC program.

I also was awarded the Air Force Association Medal. The req. for that is:
Excel in position of responsibility. Exhibit positive attitude; exemplary personal appearance, personal attributes, and courtesy; and show growth potential. Be an outstanding cadet and in upper 5% of AS-III. Be in upper 10% of high school class. Be recommended by the SASI for the Outstanding Cadet Ribbon. I served as the 14th, 16th and 17th Cadet Group Commander of my unit.

[Cloud Leonhart]

That's...a lot of requirements...XD How did you make them all?

[Athos]

XD Simple. It all came with resposibility, how active you were in the corps and community, and position. XD Afterall, I did serve 4 years in the program. Despite all that, I was removed once from my position as Commander because my ASO thought the Drill Team Commander (she didn't like, and I did not like her) would do a bette job...XD After she left that position, I took it over again...After that, she treated me better since she now knew what I had to go through on a daily basis.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Oh? And what do you have to go through?

[Athos]

To put it midly, hell. I had one of the worst administrations in the unit's history. They were lazy and highly unproductive. I tired to fire them, but my SASI refused the fire them. So I tried taking on alot of the work, which didn't help. So instead, I asked people outside of staff to do things...Which kinda helped. I thought it was ridiculous though. Well, I did my best. Though I still am angry that those people were either a Captain or above, and could never do their job. At least when I was a Senior Master and higher, I always did my work, and had it ready to go the day it was due. I also had to talk to the Colonel everyday, and for a month straight, I was being yelled at by the Colonel constantly. The Drill Commander had to never go through that. I think she did once, and that was it. She cowarded behind the Chief. Well, in the end, Colonel knew what I had to plan, but it didn't work...Things didn't help with the school board and state decisions either.

[Cloud Leonhart]

Hmm...if they aren't doing their job, can you hurt them? Like...with a paddle or something? XD

[Athos]

XD I wanted to hurt them (believe me). A few years back, I received a notice from HQ. It was about 8-10 pages stating that senior NCO's and Officers no long had the power to issue corporal punishment. When I was a Sergeant, I still used it....If I now what I know now, I would have used it. I would have my staff doing drills for hours...However, I would have to have them do their work at some point in time.
