    Looking back from USNA

    That isn't at all what I meant... I personally would feel like a failure. And at no point would I ever think that any one type of officer is better than the other. Not one place will help you in the military more than the other. What I mean is how USNA will develop me in areas ROTC couldn't. And...

    Looking back from USNA

    I wouldn't try to persuade people to stay in NROTC if I was giving someone advice. There are actually a lot of good things that come out of here. Sure it is not perfect, just as any ROTC program. Most of my insecurities lie in the fact that none of my credits transferred, I left my amazing...

    Looking back from USNA

    Thank you, everyone. Many would think it would be easier for me considering my loyalty to this place. But, because of the route I went, I had a small taste of another commissioning source, which many people here don't get. One thing that helps me come to terms with where I am is helping those...

    USNA Varsity Swim Team Question

    Both of my roommates are on the team. They were recruited; however, you can pick swimming as your sport for Plebe Summer and stick with it until the ac year. From what they have told me, almost no one makes it as a walk on but only a few. The coach doesn't tell anyone how many spots are open if...

    College grades with appointment

    It's frustrating because no grade inflation means they give out a fixed number of A/B/C. So if you get a C which is very normal, the academy might see that different. And if you are slightly below average, you get cut off and have to retake the class because you got a D. It's based on how well...

    College grades with appointment

    I guess at this point I am hoping for a C, but planning for a D. I've been studying hard and getting help, still to no avail. It's still mid semester, so there is definitely time to recover.

    College grades with appointment

    Good Afternoon, I am a college re applicant that has an appointment for 2021. This semester, my hard engineering courses are really taking a toll on my grades. I go to a very tough engineering school with no grade inflation and 19 credit hours... If a C appears on my transcript, how will that...
