I am a future midshipman who wants to become a career SWO(N) officer. I originally planned on majoring in Nuclear Engineering (I desire something that is theoretical/requires imagination and involves a lot of chemistry), but I want to open my eyes to other, possibly better, options. I want a...

Hello, I know it is too late to ask since plebe summer is just around the corner, but I am having second thoughts about my appointment. I want to major in aerospace engineering. I saw usna requires 145 credits while a civilian school requires 131, but most required courses are on the subject...

Hello, I am a student that has gotten the Army ROTC 4-Year Scholarship for Santa Clara University. When I was selecting schools, UC Santa Cruz, the college I wanted to attend, was not an option, so I chose Santa Clara as that's the host university for Santa Cruz. I have been accepted into UC...

Hi all, just to preface, the purpose of this post is gathering your thoughts and opinions on my situation and what you would do if you were in my shoes and if you have seen similar experiences or have been through the same experience. This is not me asking what are my chances, this is purely an...

I am a rising senior studying Aerospace Engineering (grad May 2022), and in a 5 year program where I will graduate with a master's in Aerospace Engineering in May 2023. I am not in ROTC so I will have to either do OTS or OCS. I also have a private pilot's license and around 200 hours. I have had...

i’m considering doing engineering (major) at a SA. At USAFA, their engineering majors are the hardest, most time-consuming ones there. Are the engineering majors at USMA exceptionally difficult too (relative to other majors)? which majors in general are the most difficult and is the rigor...

I'm very interested in doing ROTC in college and wanted to know the types fo jobs available afterward. I plan on pursuing electrical engineering as a major and wanted to know if I'd be able to do actual engineering things or if it would just be project management. Specifically, does the air...

I've seen this topic brought up a few times, but I need some clarification and advice. Probably in stupid question territory, but insight is needed. How do the Marine Engineering Systems and Marine Engineering/Shipyard Management majors compare? I've looked online at the curriculum, and they...

General question here: I have an Associate of Engineering, which includes classes such as Calculus 1-3, Physics 1 and 2, Chemistry 1 and 2, C++ programming, Engineering Graphics, etc. This degree in my state is mainly just a transfer degree, which allows me to transfer to a university without...

As many have heard, the AROTC accessions process if changing... again. I am currently an MS3 (Class of 2021) that is going to Advanced Camp this coming summer, but will be accessing with the MS2 (Class of 2022) because my engineering degree will take an extra semester to complete. My goal is to...

Good evening, I'm brand new around here and I'm looking for some advice. I'm just finishing up my first full year of university at Texas A&M and I'm finding myself to be struggling in the big university atmosphere. I'm stuck in a major that I'm beginning to find that isn't the best fit for me...

I am going to be a MS3 in AROTC. In a year from now, I will be at summer training deciding which direction I want to go after commissioning. My scholarship offers a lot of options. I can choose Active Duty, Reserves, or National Guard. I understand there are a lot of factors that play into OML...

Hey everyone! Here's a quick background of what has happened since the last time I applied during senior year... I attended a community college during my first semester. I ran D1 jr. college cross country, began studying civil engineering, and began training at an AROTC program 30 minutes away...

I posted about this same dilemma about a year ago, and I have to start with a summary before I get down to the questions. Attending any of the academies was the only thing that I wanted to do the entirety of high school. I had a very competitive application built up, but ended up moving high...

I've recently received my form 53 on which I specify my desired AFSCs and locations (top 6 of both). I'm an electrical engineering student (3.5 GPA) in my junior year. I don't want be doing research at Wright-Patt, which is what I hear is pretty common. My ideal situation is to be stationed...

Can any marine engineers or former marine engineers tell me about the job? Did you all enjoy your work as a marine engineer, and what were you daily tasks like? Are you happy that you chose to work in this field? Just wanted to hear your experiences, thanks!

Hello, I got into Mass Maritime with a hefty scholarship and I am still waiting to hear from Kings Point. I was curious as to what the reputation of Mass Maritime grads is in the maritime industry, specifically as Marine Engineers. I would appreciate if you all could share some info about their...

I'm entering my third quarter of freshman year in college, joining Army ROTC as an ms1. Im studying mechanical engineering, and aspire to contract active duty in either infantry or the engineering corps. I can max an APFT, but am wondering how high my GPA needs to be in order for me to score...

Hello, I am a high school junior and am going to be applying to USAFA and USNA. I would like to major in aerospace engineering and was wondering which academy has a better aerospace engineering program. Also, I was wondering what types of jobs a cadet majoring in aerospace engineering...

Hey, So I'm currently at an engineering university as a junior electrical engineering student in the AFROTC with hopes of being an actual electrical engineer in the Air Force. My GPA is about 3.4, I generally get 100 on the PT tests, and I was top 3rd in field training (not that the last two...
