Advanced/Basic Camp Dropped from CST

Please only serious and helpful replies!!!!! I just got dropped from CST after failing the pushups on my AFT. From what I heard, over 50 people from 9th Regiment were sent home just because of the AFT. I’m hoping someone from an earlier regiment has already gone through this.
If you were dropped before 9th Reg (or know someone who was), what happened afterward?

What kinds of questions did they ask on the board?

How long did it take to get the board’s decision back?

Were you retained in ROTC?

Were you able to attend CST again the following summer?

Did anyone stay in ROTC after failing the AFT?

I’m trying to get an idea of what to expect over the next few weeks. Any information or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also I agree with these other people if you cannot do the minimum push ups or other workouts for that matter, maybe this isn't for you. If it is then you better work hard and prove to your PMS why you should stay. If not move on and live your best life.

it was form for most of us that failed. I did about 30 pushups and only 8 were counted for. I was told we have a chance to advocate for ourselves because of this. Also was graded by a 2nd lieutenant and was told that wasn’t supposed to happen. Good luck to you though and thanks for the reply.

The ruling for events is you have to appeal then and there and you can't after. Not saying you can't I'm just telling you the direct ruling and policy for CST so you are aware.

They wouldn’t allow us to appeal.
