    Chances of appointment on reapply in college not in NROTC unit

    My son reapplied while a freshman at a university and also joined the NROTC unit and was accepted to USNA on the second try. He absolutely loved being a part of the NROTC unit and learned a lot from his experiences. He is finishing his Plebe year! I think re-applicants are viewed favorably. Best...

    Shin Splints

    My son is a marathoner, and he too uses compression sleeves, icing, anti-inflammatory meds and has had some success using KT Pro tape on his shins. Might be worth a try.

    ROTC and SCHOLARSHIPS!

    We went through this last year as well, as DS was declined for NROTC scholarship. I preferred that he reapply and not join the NROTC unit as a college programmer. My DS however felt very strongly about joining as a programmer which is what he did. He loves being in NROTC, and has benefited...

    chances on 3 year scholarship?

    Kinnem, I would agree with your guess about only three year now and two year scholarships later. My DS's unit has not asked for apps to be started yet but it will likely be soon. Perhaps the side loads are awarded after all of the incoming 4yr freshman scholarships are determined by April?

    Are both the three year and two year scholarships awarded this spring? Does the directive as to when to apply come from the CO or done independently?

    JROTC/ROTC nomination slots

    My understanding is that they accept 20 that are supposed to ranked by order of merit. It may be awhile until college grades are available for Sr ROTC applicants. Good luck!

    Summer training for non scholarship mo nrotc?

    And of course we are all assuming it will still be 70......it could be reduced. We heard from my DS unit that the Tweedale was not offered last year and the CO scholarship was taken away as well last year and neither are expected this year either.
