My son is at nsi now. I've heard from some that got sent home for medical reasons that they took her moleskin they let you keep prescription meds only.Phase 2 candidate here. Have not heard any correspondence from my advisor or unit.
Im hoping they will allow us to bring moleskin at least. I'd imagine breaking in boots is gonna be a lot less fun without that.
99% chance no. I haven't heard of a MIDN being able to do the swim/bike instead of a run.Does anybody know if at NSI candidates can do the 500 yard swim in lieu of the mile and a half run on the PRT? I know they have standards for both the swim and run in the PRT doc on NROTC website.

Search above for email sent to NSI2 attendees. They can call from their phone when they arrive and then cell phones are placed with other personal items.
Letters in are discouraged due to short duration. Have not read anyone indicating they've received letters home.

I don't believe anything happens there at NSI if you do not pass the PRT, but they need to pass it when they report to their units in the fall in order to activate their scholarships (for those on scholarship). If they do not pass or are on the borderline at NSI, one would hope it is a wake-up call to bust their butts when they get back home.Just received letter from DS...he said he is having fun and doing well.

I heard from a parent of a current NSI 1 candidate that they not only confiscate everything (except contacts/glasses, feminine hygiene, mouth retainers, and prescription medications), but that they throw it away (OTC meds, sunscreen, etc). You get issued everything they want you to have, or you have to buy there what you need/want. I would not invest a large amount of money preparing and would not bring any OTC meds. If you take anti-inflammation meds like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, you will need to get a prescription to continue having access to them.Phase 2 candidate here. Have not heard any correspondence from my advisor or unit.
