My DS was contacted by NROTC on Friday and has a meeting scheduled today. My son was a little confused because the meeting is about NROTC and other opportunities. What would the other opportunities be? He's already a candidate for USNA. He was also told they want to get his name before the board which meets on 9/20. We are new to the process and a little uncertain of what this means. Can anyone please explain?
While I can't explain what it means, I can say that this is an excellent opportunity for your son and wish him good luck on his meeting. If he is applying to USNA, he certainly should consider NROTC as well since many other students have taken this route if they were not accepted to their first choice. Make sure he applies to this, as well.
Thank you. DS applied to both the academy and for NROTC which I didn't state above. The comment about "other" opportunities caught him off guard. He would be excited and grateful to be offered a NROTC scholarship, or the opportunity to study and the academy or prep school.
