That happens to me too. I've just learned to lean a little to the side, which looks odd, but seems to work sort of well. The cycling shorts sound interesting. I may have to look into getting a pair.

That is correct. During cruise NROTC mids get about $20/day. There is some wierd way they figured it out, but that's what it works out to. You get paid the first 80% about two weeks before you leave for cruise. On cruise you get your orders endorsed and submit your travel claim once you get...

The Marines can offer you a flight guarentee in NROTC as early as sophomore year if you really want to fly. This means that you apply for either Naval aviator or Naval flight officer (both Navy and Marine aviators are designated naval aviators and wear the same insignia) and are given the...

You can go to medical school after completing NROTC. What will happen is when service assignment comes around during the beginning of your senior year, you submit a package to a Navy board to be selected to go to medical school. They usually will say yes. At the same time you apply to both...

I'd still apply for the scholarship, just because you never know. But focus on getting in to a college with a NROTC program and then doing it as a college programmer. Be high speed, and they should give you a scholarship within your first year there too. I didn't even know my school had...

For Marine options the process is a little different, but we haven't had any trouble getting our Marine options their aviation contracts. I'm actually in the process of switching from Navy to Marine option right now. Not sure if I want to go aviation or not, but if I did, it wouldn't be hard to...

Vanderbilt University gives all NROTC and AROTC students 6,000 toward their room and board. They used to only give 3,000/year, but the amount is doubled for incoming midshipmen next year. It really is a great deal at an expensive school like Vanderbilt, where room and board alone are 10,000 per...

koko, I'm glad I could help you. Your unit staff will understand that as a nurse option you will have clinicals that will occupy your time going into your later years in school and will be more than willing to help you maintain a balance between academic and naval commitments. To answer...

koko, I hope I can answer some questions for you. I am by no means an expert, but many of my closest friends at my unit are NROTC nurse options. As a nurse option, you take some of the naval science courses, specifically Intro to Naval Science (the first one), History of Seapower (the...

I'm currently a midshipman 2nd class in NROTC. Selecting aviation, at our unit at least, is no problem. If you want it, assuming you are physically qualified (which seems to be the hardest part), you will get it. In the last two years everyone at my specific unit who has wanted to go pilot...

Thanks everyone! Nashville is a great place to live and Vanderbilt is a great place to go to school! Sealion - I'd love to answer any questions you might have. Thanks again, and its great to be here!

Hello everybody! My name is Elizabeth and I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University's NROTC unit majoring in geology. I'm originally from Fargo, ND and once considered the Air Force and Naval Academies, but decided that the civilian college NROTC route was the right choice for me. My freshman...

Okay... so here's the deal. I'm Navy ROTC and spent my first semester as a college programmer. However, over the summer I took my DODmerb physical, since I was at the time applying to the Air Force and Naval Academies. Well, after a semster of NROTC, I've decided this is definitely for me...
