Thank you, you do NOT have to obtain a scholarship to choose Marine Corps Option, correct?

251 midshipmen were selected to become Marines in class of '18, but does anyone know the number of midshipmen that did NOT get selected? Is it better to go Marine Corps Option in NROTC IF I hypothetically want to join the Marine Corps and get accepted into both service academy and ROTC?

What are some benefits of going to SMC other than guaranteed commissioning and Corps of Cadets?

I'm going for 1. USAFA/AFROTC (SMC) -> OSI/SF/INTEL 2. USNA/NROTC (SMC) -> USMC MP/GROUND & HUMAN SOURCE INTEL/INFANTRY 3. USMA/ROTC (SMC) -? MP/INTEL/INFANTRY , but I wanted to keep my options available for U.S. Navy as well

Thanks for the helpful information, my best friend's dad works for another federal agency as intel, and analysis-write-brief is exactly what I was seeking from the community. Again, thank you!

What was your first reaction when your DD/DS said that he/she wants to attend one of the service academies or ROTC? My mother who is currently a DoD civilian supports me with my decision of applying in the future to become a servicemen. On the other hand, my father who was in the Army for...

Thanks, it might sound funny, and it is. Our school is ghetto outside of "Academy Wing", our teachers hate our class due to the fact that many are continuously talking while they are teaching. I feel that it's a lot worse than my last DoDEA middle school on base in Japan. Striving my best in...

SMP is basically being part of the National Guard while attending ROTC

Thanks!

I'm in my freshman year but also taking sophomore year's core courses. I'm certainly not in a rush, so I might take all required/suggested courses by USAFA and do all AP in my senior year. I was born in Hawaii and PCS to Japan when I was younger. I am a U.S. citizen, as well as my parents. To...

Yes, I got "held" back two years back in elementary. I attended a school in foreign public education system, which affected me when I transferred to an international school.
