Can you remind your supervisor that when needed you had reported for duty on a weekly off. And even in future you would come to office on weekly off if need be. Would he consider this point in your favour.
All of the above advice is great. The biggest thing is to be ready for anything. MemberLG brought up a good point, bring workout clothes with you and a good pair of running shoes, make sure you hydrate a few days before. This could be a great opportunity to do the PFT, having everything with you is a good idea. If your parents are going with you, have them come to the office, they can meet the PMS and then take the cues from there. For my older son's interview (Done by the Asst. PMS) they wanted me to come in with him for a conversation before the interview. Once I left and the formal interview started the LCT wanted to meet with me. We had a great conversation and he asked and answered a lot of questions. Not every interview will go like this, just be prepared for whatever they want to do. My younger son's interview was quite different, he was visiting the school and asked to participate in morning PT. When PT was over the LTC asked to talk with my son, during the conversation he told him "Let's just do the Interview now" My son told him he had not brought with him any nicer clothes, the PMS said no problem and interviewed him in his work out clothes. Most of the interview was a conversation about all things not ROTC related, very casual. Son received a scholarship on the first board. So like I said, be ready for anything and take the advice given on this thread and you'll do just fine
I fully agree with the answers been added by EXPERTS..............Thanks.
My answer will be (as I understood from your question): Any negotiation with your manager to obtain a day off or to set a certain schedule is based on some factors such:
1. Type of work
2. Your responsibilities
3. Company policies
...etc
However if there a case that prevents you from doing certain tasks in certain time, then your manager should cooperate with you !
Thank You
Every PMS will be different so it's hard to determine just how the interview will go. Dress in business casual, kahki's nice shirt, maybe a tie. No need for a suit. Usually the interviews are relaxed but again it all depends. Bring with you a resume listing everything you can think of, this way you won't miss anything. This is a good time to expand on things you included in your application. There is often not much room in the application to really expand, this is your chance. Part of the interview is basically a check list of Academics/Leadership/Athletics, make sure you have all your information that you included on your application so you get the most points possible. You can google the AROTC Interview Form so you can have a chance ahead of time to see what the sections include. If you are having your interview at the school you want to attend then here are some things you might want to ask during the interview: How many cadets in the Battalion What type of EC's are available What percentage of cadets get Active Duty What percentage of cadets get one of their top 3 branch choices Do MS1's participate in all FTX's and training Do the MS classes count toward college credit and which ones count. Are there many summer training opportunities available Try and be relaxed, sit up straight, answer with a "Yes Sir" and "No Sir" and leave your phone in your car, you don't want it ringing or buzzing when your in your interview. Don't be afraid to sell yourself, this is basically a job interview, don't be cocky but don't be shy either. This is your chance to let them know all about you and why you want to be an officer in the Army. This is also an opportunity for you to get answers to any questions you have regarding ROTC, don't be afraid to ask. Above all don't be nervous, be confident, be polite, keep the aah's and um's to a minimum, speak clearly and make eye contact. The PMS is not trying to slip you up, they are trying to learn more about you. Best of luck.
This questions does not pertain to my expertise, I thank you for the opportunity and have learnt a lot from Mr.Vinod's answer.
Agree With mr. Vinood on his answer
I apologized for the answer I did not understand your question
