JU is DS's first choice on his list for NROTC schools. Still waiting to hear about the scholarship, but he has a good academic scholarship there already so the plan is to go as a college programmer if he doesn't get the NROTC scholarship this year. I went ahead and sent his deposit this week. If he gets NROTC scholarship to a different university, we'll just try to get a refund on the deposit. We've heard good things about the unit there, and he's visited the school twice and likes it, especially for his marine science major (they have an excellent marine science research center).
