Oh I didn't think of that. That makes a lot of sense seeing as how school started on the third. Thanks for the insight

Hey everyone. I'm currently an NROTC 4/C Midshipman and my first stipend came through but it says the amount's $108.33 not $125. Does anyone know why this is? I was under tge impression that the stipend was tax free. Is this not the case anymore? Thanks for any insight you may have.

Thanks, yeah the USMC might get the transcipt from the university that kind of makes sense

@Saints2013, I guess I should have mentioned this is the post, but I applied Marine Option so it's a separate process. But I was notified via email from the XO of my recruiting district. I was notified on 3/25 by email, and then my portal updated with my unit assignment the next day. Maybe the...

Ok I've not been able to get a straight answer from anywhere online, so if any of y'all could answer this question id much appreciate it. Do NROTC Marine Option Midshipmen wear MARPAT cammies or do they wear the older BDUs? All of the stuff I'm able to find online is from 5+ years ago, so I...

45. semperfi50- NROTC MO- 4 year- University of Michigan 3/25/13

Don't know what I can say that hasn't been said here already. However, your extracurriculars are pretty solid, but your grades, SAT, and class rank are on the low side. You would be hard pressed to find a scholarship awarded or USNA apointee that wasn't in the top 10% of their class. My advice...

Thanks so much!!

I got the good news from the XO of my recruiting district this morning!!! Good luck to those who haven't heard yet.
