I have not seen this for NROTC and I hope it’s okay but I figured why not start a thread something like the Naval Academy. Open to more creative thoughts but why not start with the following format.... Place Holder you don’t have to post if you don’t care to. There were some posters looking for...

My DD is not having any luck with down loading the selection booklet. She has already emailed FL. My DS does not recall a selection booklet so he was of no help. Is anybody else having trouble the same issue?

DD was just selected for the NROTC scholarship.....we shall see if she gets into the Academy. I Would hate to have that pressure for deciding if selected.

Well quite shocked; however, our DD was just selected for the NROTC scholarship. Tier 3 - George Washington University. She has some thinking to do now.

DD just got a letter from our congressman; she now has two nominations. Funny, they never called her in for an interview. The congressman congratulated her and said he had called admissions himself.

DD just got her first nomination ... CT.

Our DS has yet to be given a date for commissioning. Has any other parental units heard anything on commissioning dates. We are concerned because everything is booked up. Living 14 hours away is not so easy. We are now left with hotels 45 min away.

DS call tonight to let us know that his class all got the firm word on their communities today. All except one got what they wanted. Very few slots for EOD, the one Mid was bumming but she also understood. My DS got SWO. PT for the Seniors was canceled tomorrow. I guess it is customary to go...

My DD is interviewing for an internship for one of our state Senators. If she gets the position would it be a conflict of interest when it's time to interview?

DD let us know that her application is now 100% and is under review. There was no kick on the physical fitness for the pull-ups. Maybe the rest of her numbers were good enough. BGO also sent her an email to confirm and congratulate. Aside from the nomination interviews she can now relax until...

DS just let me know he submitted his choice today to go SWO. He started out wanting to be a pilot, loved his sub cruise but his first class cruise finalized his thoughts. He said I was right about being on steel beach at night in the middle of the big pond. He said he stayed out there for a few...

After visiting a couple of colleges in Washington our DD asked to plan her own visit of USNA. This was her 6th time. She was selected and attended summer STEM her freshman year, rowing camp last summer, CVW this past Oct, two times in the distant past with her brother and this week. She created...

DD has 4 of her schools firm. She is up in the air on the 5th. So.... 1. George Washington University 2. Georgetown University 3. Villanova 4. Holy Cross. The final will be between NC Stata, U of North Carolina and U of Maryland. She has not yet firmed up the actual order. I'm done flying and...

I had a DS get the NROTC scholarship and now my DD is an active for that as well as USNA. Through it all I have limited my involvement to guidance, insight and feedback as the need to do this on their own. Sounds harsh; however, having been enlisted myself it's just how I think it needs to be...

It's not long before NSO starts. I told my DS it's a week of them breaking you down all for good reason. Suck it up the week is a gift compared to bootcamp and from what kids see and experience at the Academies. So respectful to parents who have not gone through something like this it's all...

DD just had her Officer interview. She said everything is now complete for ROTC 2018. All she has to do is apply to her 5 schools.

So my DD was invited to CVW three times. She accepted and attended the first offer. Does anybody have a feel as to why she got three invites to CVW? I want her to at least reach out so others get this chance but I'm told not to do that. When NASS opened she applied. I let her know not to get...

My DD was offered and attended CVW back in Oct. She just received another offer to attend again in Jan or Feb. I understand it does not mean anything; I'm just wondering if this is happening to others.

I'm certain it has been said before; however, just some thought as you all go into this journey. On day 1 when we dropped off our DS all the candidates were taken away to begin their midshipman journey. Once out of the room the skipper addressed the parents. He said "you all just watched 42...

Just wanted to start this, haven't see a list of accepted candidates and their school of choice. That said if you would could you please indicate your status. School Of Choice / Accepted--- State from which you reside. Just trying to keep it simple. I have seen this type of list for the Academy...
