Dastri. DS is applying to Maritime and seeking a NROTC scholarship. How do you like the school, battalion and the NROTC unit? Can you send a private message with your thoughts? From the looks of your stats and the Tier One major, you appear solid for a NROTC scholarship from other's posts here. Thanks

I can't Pm yet, not enough posts but here are my thoughts:
I personally like Maritime. No real regrets about going here.
If your ds comes here, he will be busy. I had 19 credits my first semester and put in hours daily. A lot more than high school. In addition to classes there will be regimental activities if he wants to be in the reg. Watch at ungodly hours during the week, weekend watch, or ship training. Naps are my best friend. We have taps at 2300 every mon- thurs. Get up 6:30 mon, wed for formation and 5:05 Tue and thurs for ROTC pt and 4:55 in friday for Reg Pt.
Its tough but rewarding.
The ROTC unit itself is great. Amazing staff, great CO.
If there any more ?'s feel free to PM me. :biggrin:
 
I went there many moons ago. The academic quality of the school is outstanding, but the workload is heavy. Like OP, I was taking 19-20something credits a semester. I definitely wasn't prepared for that as a freshman. The school is in an all right neighborhood and is pretty much its own little island, but make a wrong turn on the Cross Bronx and you're in the South Bronx.
