Thanks guys. I'm glad those options are still open for me, Mr. Mullen.

I had a conditional appointment to the USMMA. I just found out that my waivers for ADHD (apparently my 4.9 GPA and 2150 on the SAT doesn’t make up for this “academic skills defect”) and for Hyperthyroidism (controlled, unmedicated, and symptomless) have both been denied. Sorry, I’m a little...

The NROTC unit you apply to has zero bearing on recieving a scholarship. The boards do not even look at the schools you have chosen. This comes directly from my district coordinator.

As many of you probably know, the DODMERB website has been down for over four weeks now. How is it that a website used by thousands and thousands of people can be down that long? I find this to unacceptable, but honestly, what do I know? I have heard that the Academies themselves use the...

Thank you beyond for the input.

I received an appointment to the USMMA yesterday conditional on medical qualifications. I know I need two waivers, one for hyperthyroidism and one for ADHD. My question is, why would they give me an appointment if they don’t know I can be qualified medically? Why not wait until they know I...

Hey, Did you guys know the DODMERB site is down? =) Ah well.

1. Application opens April 1st so as long as you have it in by the third, that should be early enough. =) 2. Extremely strong candidate often do recieve appointments before a nomination and most are expected to recieve one. However, the lions share of the candidates recieve a nomination first...

My guess would be nothing. The AFA isn't going to be teaching people how to swim. You will be doing things that wouldn't be a normal part of competitive swimming / water polo.

Yes. Active-duty candidates selected for an NROTC scholarship program will be issued orders to the appropriate NROTC unit. After reporting, they will be released from active duty, enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve, and appointed as midshipmen in the U.S. Naval Reserve. Upon successful...

I know for a fact that Congressman can nominate a candidate to more than one Academy. Good Luck!

Yessir, I have applied for an NROTC scholarship. I haven't heard back though. Grove City does not have an ROTC unit. You are right, a customer guaranteed to pay full price for four years would be desirable.

patentesq Thankyou for the detailed and well thought out reply. That must have taken you a good couple of minutes to type out. I will do as you said and hold off on telling GCC about any nominations. I appreciate your advice about paying the deposit to GCC as well. Let's hope I have all...
