This may not be the best place to post this but ill try it anyways. Is it difficult to get a Coast Guard (third mate) license (like the equivalent of going to a maritime college) by not going to college? Like if i enlisted in the navy, than after i got out, would it be difficult? Just curious

From the way i understand USMMA noms, i am eligible to apply for a nomination there from all representatives in my state, not just my congressional district. Along with my two senators (as there are no vp/presidential/jrotc noms for usmma), that makes 13 possible nomination sources for the...

Just a friendly bump to try to get a few other opinions on this!

Yes. I believe the usmma nom process is a bit different. Taken directly from the usmma website. Im probably not going to have time to send in any applications until september. Going out of town this friday, not returning until the end of the month. Any other feedback would be...

I'm starting the nomination process a bit late, but have a few questions/concerns. 1. Is there any penalty to doing it this late? A lot of my congressmen have a deadline (usually late oct, early nov) for nomination applications. Does it matter WHEN you send it in as long as its by this...

Thats what early decision is...

I know my scholarship coordinator is Chris Crichton (What the navy website said to send my stuff too after i completed application) and Youmes James L. (Assistant NROTC Coordinator) has been keeping in touch with me and is responding to my questions as well. Do i have a choice where i...

Decided to just make a broad topic so i can add any future questions here instead of making more topics. I submitted my online application and "Assistant NROTC Coordinator" sent me the forms to sign and email back to him. How do i set up an rotc interview? I tried looking on VMI's...

Im stuck between two choices for my other recommendation. My first one is my SNSI for my NJROTC unit. He is a retired Navy commander. My relationship with him is good (better than most cadets. Most cadets prefer the other instructor, who is far less strict and much more..."fun". Im one...

Its too late for a four year scholarship. But you could go for a three year one once you enter college. And you dont need a scholarship to do rotc.

Hello everybody. Ive decided that i am going to apply early decision to VMI this coming fall. I do have just a few questions Is there any data on how many apply ED, and how many are accepted (GPA, SAT Scores, ect). Do you have to declare a major on the application? Are you still...

Ill look at the open house but chances our it wont fall on our spring break. And if it does, chances our it doenst fall in the few days both me and my dad can get off of work. And from what we were told, we could visit the campus, but we would have to do a self-tour. So no guided tour, no...

I am interested in several colleges in and around New York. I do not live in or near new york. Thus my family must take a rather expensive and longer than 1 day trip to visit them all. And we intend to visit all the colleges for new york in that one trip. We go to visit family for...

Alright. Little ticked off here, but ill give say my opinions straight and to the point. I tried to call USMMA to schedule a time to come visit and tour the campus. This spring break was going to be the main time for visiting the few colleges i wanted to visit, a lot of which were in new...

I realize that. But since i am in our JROTC program, i do intend to pursue a leadership position. My only question is what, out of those two options, would be looked upon more. Im planning on doing track through the school, Im on the debate team(possible captain next year), community...

So in a few days i have an interview with my jrotc instructers for possible leadership positions. I am applying mainly for the administrative department head, a very important job to the unit that requires a lot of extra work. I feel like i could do well in that position. Our unit also...

i am currently a junior looking to attend the merchant marine academy after highschool. Im keeping my grades up (had a 3.5 gpa at the end of last year, but my grades have been better this year so it is most likely higher) recieving a few leadership positions (co captain of our schools debate...

I havent come across it on their website yet, so im a bit unsure. a definite answer would be helpful! Thanks!

Quick question. Say i failed to get into USMMA and decided to do the prep program at NMMI. Following that i get good grades/ect, Am i gurranteed an appointment? Is that only if USMMA sends you there or if you choose to go there or both? I would need to get another nomination, correct? Thanks!

Quick question for you folks. Can you request A nomination to the United States Merchant Marine Academy from a representative from ANY of the congressional districts? Or just your own? Im from Virginia. Does that mean ill have 13 (11 representatives + 2 senators) to request nominations...
