Hi all, I’m a freshman at Virginia Tech on an active Marine Option NROTC 4-year scholarship. I’ve been DoDMERB qualified since last November with no issues. I’ve been looking at taking Accutane to treat severe acne for a while now, and I’d love to just do the 3 months and get it over with. I...

Hello all, I applied last year to the Naval Academy and heard back the first week of April that I had been denied. I applied out of the first Congressional District in Virginia. I am currently on a Marine Option NROTC scholarship to Virginia Tech and I'm majoring in political science. I did not...

So for starters, I found out Thursday that I received the Marine Option 4-year scholarship to Virginia Tech. I was DEFINITELY NOT expecting it- in fact, I had assumed it was a lost cause and begun looking at other branch scholarships. Although I am still waiting on a decision from the Naval...

Hello, all. I have a couple questions regarding the Marine-option NROTC scholarship process. I've finished the online application but have not submitted because I want to review them with my OSO. It also says I have to complete three "supplemental forms" that are "available on web site". The...

In mid-July, I was awarded a presidential nomination. Everything besides my transcript, DoDMERB and CFA are in the system, and the transcript and DoDMERB are on the way to admissions as I am writing this. It is my understanding that once my transcript arrives, my package can go in front of the...

Today, I submitted the online portion of the AFROTC application. On it, I only had to fill out basic personal information and list the schools I wanted to attend through the scholarship and acknowledge a bunch of statements about drug use and conscientious objection. After submitting the form...

Saw someone do this in on the USNA forum and thought it was a good idea. If anybody else is going to the first session of SLE, PM me so we can start a group chat! Looking forward to hearing from y'all.

So I will preface this by saying that I want to fly fixed wing aircraft for the Naval service (I know about the "needs of the Navy" but I want to make the decision that gives me the best chance at fixed-wing). I have opened my NROTC scholarship application and am having a difficult time choosing...

So first of all, some good news. I found out today that I've been accepted to the USMA Summer Leaders' Experience, which is very exciting. I'm really looking forward to visiting West Point and discovering if I belong there. Also, I would like to thank user @hamleton, a current USMA plebe whom I...

I've been posting a lot in a couple different forums, so I figured I'd better introduce myself. I'm a high school junior in northern VA that has been set on becoming an officer in the United States military for as long as I can remember. I admit that I change my mind often about what service or...

Hello all, So in considering a career in the Air Force, I've entertained the notion of trying to become a Special Tactics Officer. I am also very interested in government and politics, and have even thought about going into government if I don't serve in the military until retirement. Because...

Hi all, I was wondering if there are ways to increase your chances (while at the Academy) of flying after you graduate. I know to be physically fit and have good grades, but are there flying programs for midshipmen? What level of influence will that give you when being looked at to fly? Also...

So for the past two years, my dad (now retired) was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. As a result, I attended Lejeune High School, which has about 500 students. While there, I was my class's president, I played varsity baseball and ran cross-country, was in a school play, Honors classes, JROTC, and...
