The Adventure Begins

Becoming a Commissioned Officer 

Picture
Becoming a military officer is a transformational experience, no matter how you earn your commission. Since less than 1% of Americans have the honor of serving their country (both officer and enlisted), competition for academy appointments is fierce. ROTC is a very selective program as well.

Allow me to bring my lifetime of military service and service academy and ROTC expertise to helping your child decide which options are right options for them. If so, we'll work together to help make them the most competitive candidate possible while developing a backup plan.
