There should be an option to "Proceed anyway" or something similar. This is a common error found on many websites of all types, not just military/government controlled ones. EDIT: A more in-depth explanation: All sites must renew their security certificate every 1, 2, or 5 years. Also, check...

When I went in for my DoDMERB exam, I was not required to take a urinalysis test. It was in fact on the sheet that I received from DoDMERB in the mail (basically telling me what I had to look forward to) but the doctors said it was no longer required. I asked several times if I needed to take it...

NROTC MO means Naval ROTC Marine Option. If he is not selected for a scholarship, he could still enter a college of his choice with a NROTC MO program as a college programmer (without scholarship) and basically it works almost entirely the same except you pay for tuition. Your son still...

Thanks! And no I don't believe that is bad. I've been reading a lot of posts and it seems the scholarship notifications trickle in slowly. Don't give up hope yet :thumb: Merry Christmas to you as well!

Hello again everybody! I have just now checked the website and found out I have been awarded the 4-year NROTC-MO scholarship to UT Austin (#1 choice!)!! I would like to thank you all for the help you have given me! I checked the website like 10 times today so I wasn't expecting a change...

Anybody know anything about the University of Texas in Austin regarding NROTC scholarship slots?

Of course I wasn't trying to get into a political debate. I've heard many sides of the story and was looking to see what really could have happened from a more reliable source. He explained everything. I didn't ask him much regarding ROTC because I have done my homework - I could pretty much...
