Does anyone here have any information about eligibility to join V-1? I'm currently in the middle of a one-and-a-half year break from A&M while I'm training with the Air National Guard, and I'm considering joining the Corps once I get back to school next fall. When I get back, I'll be one semester away from being a junior, but I plan on spending another 3 years in College Station if that makes any difference. I'm an E-3 and I'll have 22 months TIS next August. If anyone has any information/advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Gig 'em.

Don't discount joining any of the other outfits just because of prior/current service. Living on the Quad has its merits. Two of my buddies (we were not V-1) were in the Army and joined as Sophomores. Both continued in the Army after graduation. Saw them both recently - we're all still tight.
