We got ours less than a week before we left.

She requested it—thought it would make it easier to just jump right in!

My Navy Option DD just arrived back home from CORTRAMID west last night. It was a great experience for her, and did what I think the Navy plans for it to do: gave her real exposure to all the warfare communities, and a chance to talk with young officers about their experiences. If course she had...

My daughter is a rising 3C at Tufts Navy Option (Tufts/MIT/Harvard make up the battalion). She is Tier III LREC. She got an ISR (Immediate Scholarship Reservation) with this major, which is under Tier III, but is preferred. We were not told specifically, but got general sense that going LREC...

So to home address I assume? School will be out before we expect to get orders from what I hear. I will ask her to check with people ahead of her in unit. She’s a 4C, so Cortramid. Thx!

So much good advice here; I will just add more encouragement. Being a college programmer will give you a chance to prove yourself in a new way, and your unit leadership will have lots of support to offer if you work hard. Best to you!

Congratulations!

Great advice that I will share with my freshman NROTC student. Thanks!

Congratulations!
