Thank you

Question for those who know; Applied to all ROTC groups as instructed and one was awarded from Army ROTC, If accepted with the others be stopped and no longer eligible or in the running for NROTC?

Is it possible to receive awards from more than one branch? So if you are really looking for the NROTC scholarship but you accept the AROTC right away as told, doesn't that cancel you from the NROTC candidacy?

There are at least 3 coming from CT. Three are 3 of us from CT reporting and 1 from CO that is staying here and making the trip with us. See you all on I-Day!

Atleast these people know how tough it is. My DS wore his gear and had people asking "USNA, Where is that" or they think you're enlisted. Not that enlisting is bad either, but know something about what you are talking about.

Why couldn't test go forward but using cubicles and less students per session? They are postponing test until September now. I'm sure there is a better way to get these test open to the students and be safe at the same time.

Wow, great explanations. Thank you for the information. I knew there were a few but I didn't know how many and the responsibilities. My DS got SL and when I asked what other positions he just said "Dad there are quite a few" and that they change people often.

What ranks do midshipmen hold within the brigade? They have section leader, Platoon Leaders etc? Could someone give me a little insight as to the ranks and responsibilities within the ranks?

If this is something that you truly want, then reapply. Nothing of true worth is easy; the application process isn't easy, becoming a candidate isn't easy and building the portfolio to get selected isn't easy. You sound like you are focused on what you want so do what it takes to get it...

Not all NAPSTERs complete their mission due to DQs. Should they apply for NROTC as a backup and would they be considered? At this time, those NAPSTERs who are academically and or physically under water are being told that they are disqualified and being released.

Are you attending as a student athlete or band member?

I believe my words were taken a little out of context; I was not saying that certain kids were special or great and the academy didn't want to lose them. What I was trying to say was, there are other circumstances that play a part. There are some applicants that the USNA found qualified and...

I too agree with most of the comments above, but I would add this. If you got an offer to NAPS, you didn't get rejected from USNA; NAPS is also a tough to receive. Most applicants to the USNA are rejected, very few are accepted and then there are those few that may be 3Q but there was no more...

They do earn pay; "Direct-entry Midshipman Candidates will receive approximately $1,087.80 a month* (before taxes, BAF and Uniform deductions). " There are other fees taken out to cover other battalion activities like; trip to the Army/Navy game or the stay at the USNA. These fees are also...
