The cadets in the battalion have collected nearly every award and honor available -- from ranking the best in the Midwest out of 40 battalions to having the nation's highest average score on the Army physical fitness test to earning more national scholarships than any battalion out of the in the country. The upshot of all this success is a top honor that places the battalion among the nation's elite. The award is based on a combination of the achievement of the school's commissioning mission, its cadets' performance and standing on the Command's national order of merit list, and its cadet retention rate.
Considered the most important training event for an Army ROTC cadet or National Guard officer candidate, the four-week summer capstone course incorporates rigorous training on a range of subjects designed to develop and evaluate leadership ability.
Cadets are evaluated on physical fitness, leadership skills, communication, weapons training, land navigation skills and other subjects. Their LDAC scores figure greatly into various awards the battalion is considered for throughout the fall. They stay motivated and lead the program. They want the juniors to be as good as they were.

Assignment is made by the Battalion, so he should let his ROTC instructor know if he has a preference. I know at Clarkson chances are good we could accomodate a cadet that has a family obligation over the summer. Joined Nov 28, Messages There are 14 regiments with 7 start dates staggered 4 days apart.
The training is not very difficult. Most cadets make it through and receive camp credit. The 2 main causes for cadets being dismissed are APFT failure and medical issues. AscoreD 5-Year Member.

The hardest part of ldac with the most failure rate I'd agree is with the apft pushup form. I'm not sure how "hard" the graders are there, but it seems to me a lot of people have trouble with that.
Pima Year Member. Joined Nov 28, Messages 13, Curious, if they bust LDAC and are on scholarship, do they lose the scholarship? What is the percentage of cadets that are awarded LDAC? Does every rising sr cadet go?
Not trying to be antagonistic, but how can they afford to send everyone, is it due to the fact that they go rising sr. I don't want to be hit upside the cranium as a parent of a C to find out we now have to figure out how to pay for his last 2 yrs. Joined Jan 26, Messages 1, This is slightly off-topic, but I can't find a better place to write this -- LDAC appears to me to be the single most important part of a cadets placement on the Order of Merit List OML , which is a points based rank ordering from 1 to , which determines, to a great extent, choice in Branch placement.
Here is the FY weighted selection criteria the points that compose the OML : I have put categories called "Minimum Score" and "Maximum Score" to more accurately identify the range of scores. Evaluation Category.. Cadet Controls GPA.. Should a cadet spend an extra hour a week becoming a master of land navigation?
Or running? On studies? Or volunteering within the Unit? Going overseas for six weeks to pick up another language? I say this because though GPA is 40 of the points, most colleges won't keep a student with under 2.
I need help, as an outsider to the system, understanding really what are the "minimum" scores awarded in the 13 categories of evaluation. I guessed on almost all except GPA. Does that mean they received 0 out of 4. Last edited: Jul 5, Joined Nov 17, Messages Help me with this dunninla said:.
