    Navy ROTC Submarine Officer

    Good point. Interviews can occur as early as Junior year, as you point out, for MIDNs who are really interested in going nuke (including things like Naval Reactors). I should have said that interviews generally occur in January or February for MIDNs "selected" for nuke - but they can occur as...

    Navy ROTC Submarine Officer

    To respond to CaptMJ - yes, there are people who do not pass the interviews. My son is a MIDN 1/C who was selected for surface nuke; his buddy is in subs. Just to clarify with very current (NROTC) info - and hopefully help anyone going nuke: 1. Over the summer between your junior and senior...

    Why is NROTC so strict?

    My son is a Junior in NROTC at a highly-regarded university that also has AROTC and AFROTC (I was an Army ROTC grad myself). Quite simply, NROTC is harder - the units are smaller, virtually everyone is on scholarship and almost everyone is either (i) a Marine ('nuff said) or (ii) an engineering...

    Navy Option 2-Yr Sideload decisions have been made and have been communicated to the units. DS found out yesterday that he received one.

    NROTC Sideloads for 2014

    Have any units heard about two and three year Navy Option side loads? They should be coming out soon from what we've heard. Just curious.

    NROTC Sideloads for 2014

    Anyone know when side load scholarship notifications will be made for Navy option midshipmen (Marines are on an entirely different schedule)? I've heard people say April, but I think they were confusing Marine notification or LREC notices (which go to a special board). Thanks!

    NROTC Sideloads for 2014

    Not sure how anyone beat me to the punch on this information - I was sure that I was the only one checking the NSTC site daily for the updated 1533 Note. Good job FFDDG! Good news is the allocated number of scholarships for YG16 went up - 140 vs 115. In prior years, college programmers...

    NROTC Sideloads for 2014

    Anyone heard anything regarding the number of 2 year Navy Option sideload scholarships that will (or won't) be available this year? Last year NSTC put out a note in December updating the number of 2 and 3 year scholarships that would be available based on anticipated production needs, but I...

    wyo uniforms classless?

    Wyoming vs. Air Force Wyoming wears the honor, integrity and respect on its uniforms to show its support for all of our nation's military forces. This is not the first time Wyoming has done that - it also wore those last year at its homecoming game. Wyoming and Air Force have a long and...

    Road from ARMY ROTC to JAG Officer

    Army JAG As someone who went to college on a four-year Army ROTC scholarship and ended up in the JAG Corps, I can attest that the previous poster is correct. Ed delays and FLEP are both extremely competitive and always have been, but I have known people who did both. While it's possible, I...

    Pilot/EOD Service Selection

    Go EOD Being a military officer isn't a "trade," and military officer training isn't "trade school." It's not about learning a hard skill that will employ you for the rest of your life, it's about the soft skills - how to work under pressure, how to work with people you don't necessarily like...

    Cornell NROTC

    Cornell ROTC The fact that Cornell "won't need to award any financial aid" will not make a difference - Cornell, like all of the Ivys, is completely need-blind (meaning that they will not allow the admissions committees to even know if you are applying for aid in making an admissions...
