What language/region dis you guys put down?

I went to my medical examination today and everyhin went fine. Perfect hearing and everything. But when urinalysis came back, it showed I have extremely high levels of protein in my urine. What exactly does this mean? I don't take steroids or any other drugs, im not currently in any athletics or...

Sent my application in about two weeks ago. Got my DoDMERB last week, and just scheduled all of my appointments. My last appointment is on the 3rd of December, so how long would it be from there till I get a response? This is the NROTC.

Crap, so if I did check the LREC thing, do I have a less of a chance getting a scholarship

That's a shame.

How is it different from regular NROTC? Can you still choose which career to enter after you graduate?

My Scholarship Coordinator has told me that if I recieve the scholarship and I am commisioned as an officer, I will be able to pursue a career as a Navy Diver or Aviation Rescue Swimmer, as these are only for the enlisted. Is this true? I looked...

Does anyone know exactly what this program entails? Its an option on the NROTC application, and I am planning on studying International Relations, so I am extremely interested in it. I have not been able to find any decent amount of information on it, and Officer who interviewed me hadn't...

Oh I am. I would rather prefer a Navy scholarship over the Army though.

So, from what I've read, my chances come down to this: 1. Because I am pursuing a tier 3 major, I have probably only a 15% chance of getting the Navy option scholarship. 2. Only a few Marine option scholarships are handed out every year, and are extremely competitive. So, with those...

Does anyone know any general information about the Marine option?

To make myself clear, it is my goal to join the military, regardless of college or not. Its simply that I would rather go to college first then enlist right after high school. I'm not just joining the military for the money. Also, can you apply for both the Navy option and the Marine option...

I'm a nervous wreck right now. I am applying for a NROTC scholarship right now, but looking over the application, I'm in very poor shape. I'm a soon-to-be Eagle scout (my final board of review in on the 28th of this month), with over 7 years of scouting under my belt. I have roughly 192...

Thank you all. Unfortunately, I am not pursing a tier 1 or tier 2 major, so I am aware that my chances will be lowered, but by how much?

I'm starting my ROTC scholarships soon, so I have a couple questions. Most importantly, can someone please detail the process, like what I should expect and prepare myself for. Another questions: Am I too late? If I get the scholarship, do I get to pick the college to use it at, or...
