    Rejection From Assigned Unit

    IMHO you should transfer your scholarship to NC State, since you have already been accepted there. If you get into Vanderbilt later, transfer the scholarship from NC State to Vanderbilt.

    DS should contact the unit to let them know they are interested in GT, ask some questions and also ask in having a NROTC scholarship helps in the admissions process. Also make sure GT admissions knows that DS was awarded a NROTC scholarship. It can't hurt and "may" help.

    NROTC majors not matching up??

    If biology and general life science and biological sciences listed as tier 2 majors on your porta, choose any of them, it is close enough. If the portal does not tell you what tier the major is, then wait. There is a very big difference during the selection process between a tier 2 and tier...

    DODMERB urinalysis

    He could try and persuade/convince the physician that the test is no longer required. But, it does seem that some continue to do the test and report the results. IMHO, I would not refuse the test. If he does fail for high protein, it is pretty much an automatic remedial and retest. Start...

    Marine Corps Fighter Pilot

    Switching from Navy to Marine Option is not a trivial task. At least at my DS unit, you will train with the Marines, you will have to prove that you have what it takes to be a Marine. Then you will have to apply and be selected for the Marine Option and they are very selective.

    ROTC Experience - Scholarship vs Non-Scholarship

    An additional point. A NROTC scholarship does not "lock" you in until your first day of you sophomore year. If you decide, duri g your freshman year, that the Marines are not for you, you can drop out of the program, and you do not need to pay the scholarship back.. You can also join a unit...
