Still waiting for the marine option results as well. My recruiter and his XO told me the board sat on November 9th. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. Can't wait to hear!

The wait seems to be the hardest part! I'm located in Miami, Florida and no one else from my area has received any word.

My son was selected in the early board in November last year. He received the phone call over Christmas break. The portal didn't actually update until after the first of the new year.
 
016t is the deadline? And are potential scholarship recipients still applying for fall 2016 scholarships?

NROTC
 
My son got a call today that he was awarded NROTC Marine Option to his first choice school University of Michigan. We are so excited!
 
Congratulations to your son, @henny! I am anxiously waiting my son's interview with a Captain tomorrow! I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow!
