I would contact the NROTC tech support desk, with a screenshot of the text attached, plus whatever you need to include to identify yourself in their system.I am currently applying for the Navy ROTC scholarship and I got this weird text, has anyone else ever received a text like this before? Do I trust it?

you must have our same recruiter from 2 years ago LOL. He misplaced my sons application altogetherWhy are you guys so lucky to have supportive local recruiters who would reach out to you? My daughter's local recruiter never responds to her email or phone inquiries/concerns. The applicant's interview results and transcripts provided months ago have yet to be uploaded as the 1st board deadline draws near. They were once lost due to the staff change and had to be provided again. I feel sorry for her as she has spent days on writing essays and months on prepping for AFA, dreaming of becoming a Navy officer.
It's just terminology. Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) divides the country into Navy Recruiting Districts (NRD) and some are now called Navy Talent Acquisition Groups (NTAG). Each NRD/NTAG has someone assigned as the NROTC Scholarship Coordinator (https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-Training-Command/NROTC/Locate-Coordinator/). This is the person you referred to as the regional counselor. By virtue of the fact that the individual is assigned to Navy Recruiting Command, they are all known as 'recruiters'.Forgive me, but I am a little confused. When our son applied for the NROTC scholarship last year, he never spoke with or dealt with a recruiter for his application. He did however have a regional counselor who managed his file and encouraged, assisted him in its completion. The only thing a recruiter did was proctor his physical test. He had an interview at a local university with an NROTC officer. Should you be dealing with NROTC scholarship folks versus recruiters? Again, if I misread, my apologies.
Got it, thank you!It's just terminology. Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) divides the country into Navy Recruiting Districts (NRD) and some are now called Navy Talent Acquisition Groups (NTAG).

You are wise. You have up to a couple years, at least, before you need to fall back on PLC as a backup - provided finances aren't the driving issue. That was DS's backup plan if he didn't win a side-load scholarship or advanced standing. You're going to college in either case.Hey I'm new to the forum, and am also a current NROTC (MO) applicant. That's definitely the regional recruiter, I have been doing weekly PT with the pollees and almost every week the recruiter tries to get me into the DEP for PLC saying it will guarantee a scholarship, I appreciate the guy and I know it's his job but it sure is annoying. I would encourage you to meet the current pollees (or the Naval equivalent) it been a great experience for me personally. Good luck with the scholarship!
For sure, and although it would be nice to get into an NROTC program, PLC or OCS all of them are paths to becoming a Marine officer and that's the important thing for me.You are wise.
