Actually, I will be commissioning this spring as well. Looking forward to possibly meeting your DS and working with them!

Hi! I got assigned SWO-Nuke (which btw was my 3rd option) and go to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Since I got SWO-N I decided to call off trying to get my masters via the co-term program at my school (which would have gotten me a Masters in 1yr). This decision is solely based on the fact...

Yes a senior!

Another question I have since I am just going to pile it all in onto this thread is about my birth control prescription and how I might be able to get it transferred over to a Tricare doctor. Or if I should just try to get the implant while I'm on my parent's insurance and not have to worry...

Does anyone have advice on what I should be getting for uniforms (or other useful items) to have following commissioning and entering the fleet? Abbott's package seems a bit expensive and I haven't really been able to find too many other options- any advice here? I was service assigned SWO-N so...

It has been a minute since I have posted to this forum (almost 4 years I think). During that time I have almost completed a BS in Nuclear Engineering and have been an active in the NROTC program at my school. This was the best decision I have ever made for myself and I am glad that my BGO...

Hello all, I am just now finishing up my 4/C year in college and it has been a BLAST. For those of you who are anxious/excited about college and NROTC, I thought I would reach out and attempt to answer some of your questions. For those interested in networking, I will be going CORTRAMID...

I can't remember what my scores were exactly, but I would guess that aiming for "GOOD" or above on the PRT scale is a good first goal marker. In reality, your scores (to be competitive) should be Excellent/ Outstanding while in school. For females a good is above 62 situps/24 pushups/ 13:30...

Up until a few hours ago I did not want to re-apply to the Academy because I did not see the advantage it could give me professionally; especially when compared to the education I will receive with my unit and school. For me this question is so much like the Migram experiment- would you...

@justdoit19 - I did not get an appointment (although I would like to think I was pretty close- I was on the WL until just before I-Day). I have battled with the struggle of re-applying since May and if it would be worth the time and effort for me both personally and professionally. Although...

BlackIce- My first school was the Naval Academy, and I ended up at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My only advice would be to ask questions. As many as you can and about anything. Most people are open to answering about something they are passionate about and had I asked more in beginning I...

Hello all, It's been a few (really busy) months since I have posted and am going to have some null time this weekend and would be open to fielding your questions about NROTC. Just as a heads up/ reminder I'm a 4/C MIDN Tier 1 major. I tried to make playing a D3 sport work - but for me: 21...

I am going to be bluntly honest- I am (too) an incoming freshman NROTC mid so take what I have with a grain of salt. I don't know 100% about service selection or about how the medical relates to being able to choose a particular service BUT if you do decide to continue with Navy and end up not...

All of my paperwork together (check) PRT practicing- with good scores (check) College dorm supplies (check) Health (?) My sister has just come down with a severe case of mono and laryngitis/ an infection of some sort that has taken her to the ER three times this week. Mono is highly...

Who is eligible to swear a NROTC midshipman (candidate?) in for the ceremony? Are retired officers allowed to? Thank you!
