We just found out that all my son's hard work has paid off and he got selected for a scholarship. I am an active duty SMSgt with 21 years in service and I am about to retire medically. I hate I won't be able to salute him when he commissions.

Anyway, I have seen what the type 7 pays for but o have a question. The website says he will get an allowance every semester to help with fees, living expenses, and extra money. It also says he will get $300 per month as a freshman. Does anyone know what he will get for the semester stipend?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Congrats, and thanks for your years of service!

If you retire you'll still be allowed to put on your uniform to salute him. The AFROTC PAS will be the local commander to grant authorization. Congrats to your kid

Tango Mike thanks for the information! He is going to make a great Officer. He is hoping for a pilot slot and I have no doubt he can be selected. I have never seen him more driven and motivated. He is getting his degree in chemical engineering as well. Thanks again for the info guys.

And to the poster who thanked me for my service, thank you. It has been an absolute pleasure to serve. I never forgot why I joined and that was to serve our great Nation.

Congrats!
