    Naval Academy Appointment

    Out of Respect Mongo, I respectfully disagree with "because you worked harder than the others. You are entitled to them". I could be very wrong; however, after reading the stats and posts from many of these, they have all workd hard. I think it would be unfair to say that one worked harder...

    Naval Academy Appointment

    Just a thought... Where there are many thoughts, I can fully respect CSMEEKS for raising the question. CSMEEKS, I have been a coach for 15 years and a father for 17 years of three great kids. I have always found simple advise for kids that they all just get and that is this. In life you...

    NROTC Stuff

    I love a good roller coaster ride. It looks like there is not going to be very much rolled out until April as we know. This was just confirmed by the guy handling my sons application. He has names of many approved but not all the names because the boarding that continues. Some names were...

    Penn State NROTC

    hachie07 It might serve you well the read "Lone Survivor". When you walk in the unit you will see more but to know prior would have a larger impact. I leave you only with the thoughts and hope that you read the book. Our family has been to the unit and the book has been around the family...

    NROTC offers!! (...not yet)

    No Change To Date My son checked his page, the information remains the same as it's been since the start of this journey. I can say that he updated his SAT scores and they went to the board but the scores were not updated on the page. As I understood it there are only like two or three...

    NROTC Unit visit

    My Miss Guided Information... Sorry to all, I was just trying to help and let you know how it worked for my DS. I did not mean to give any miss guided information if that's the way it came over. I did say "I can assure you" I should have used other words. It was not fair of me to assure...

    NROTC Unit visit

    Respectfully... Respectfully, "gross generalization" is not quite fair to what I said. I mentioned there was no promise. In other words if something is said it does not mean it will hold water with admissions. Sometimes networking works other times it does not The other point is it did not...

    NROTC Unit visit

    WOW What An Impact... I can assure you that a visit to the NROTC unit will play a roll. My DS and I went, I stayed in the visitor center and let my DS walk the walk. The meeting went very very well. As you would assume there is no promise; however, the office my DS meet with liked him a...

    NROTC Unit visit

    Taking the same path JJ2016, My son is making a 2nd. tour of the schools he has on his list but this time he is going directly to the college of engineering as well as the NROTC unit. This is what the LT. at each unit told me. Once your child has the scholarship have him call or visit the...

    Good Feeling...

    I communicated some information a few days ago that I got out of two different NROTC units. In short the units are not full and most of their list will attend the academy. This allows for more room in the NROTC scholarship pool. Okay, great I understand where this leads and it would make...

    NROTC Scholarship

    Tracking... We did his CSS profile a long time ago and FAFSA on Jan 1 at 6am (coffee time). I'm not one to sit around I have to have things done, organized, no clutter, put away. The information you communicate is very important, I'm just happy it was done on that 1st day, one less thing to...

    NROTC Scholarship

    It's Just A Matter of Waiting This is our first kid to go so it's all new for us. Some of what I will say has been said so it will not be a news flash. I'm just feeding any information to some who may be as new to this as we are. I got some good feed back on Monday regarding the NROTC...
