This is a very true and wise statement. Nothing is free. Just make sure the cost is worth what you will receive. Is the juice worth the squeeze. In your case, its military service that has a good chance of taking you away from your chosen path of being a doctor, or atleast delaying it...

Others have mentioned that if the idea of doing non medical jobs in the military is a no go for USNA. I would make sure you are OK with the idea of several hundreds of thousands of dollars of dept after your BS/MD schooling is over is worth being a doctor to you. Even with ROTC and other...

What email from CMGO are you looking for after accepting the scholarship? If it is about NSI or DoDMERB, then it will likely take a few more days as he was just awarded two days ago. The NSI packet info is available on their website. Googling NROTC NSI will get you started. DoDMERB starts...

Make sure he follows up with unit. Parents and NROTC units don't mix well as most units don't really like parents to reach out rather than Mids. What iteration is he attending? Plan on not hearing from the unit until about a week before. It is pretty typical. Hopefully sooner, but your...

Keeping plan B a option until later is a good idea. Loss of deposits is a cheap price to pay for the insurance to be able to confirm college next year no matter what. In regards to ROTC scholarship confirmation. All should be aware that though a ROTC unit says "you are welcome at the unit if...

I can't remember if the packing list is uploaded at this website at some point,or DS got something from unit last year closer to NSI iteration. https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-Training-Command/NROTC/Current-and-Incoming-Midshipmen/New-Student-Indoctrination/ It is not much...

I saw a trailer for this a month or so ago. It looks great!! This type of movie is perfect for IMAX

If it is covered, it would likely be paid directly to the school and the account credited at some point in the future. I wouldn't expect a check from the Army to come to your DD. If the deposit was for room and board, then it is likely not covered. That is the only deposit I remember paying...

If there is room, then you shouldn't have any problems getting the transfer OK'd. Congratulations.

Give LSU NROTC a call and you can find out. They are the only ones that know.

Do not look at this as hitting a wall or going in the wrong direction. Look at this as just a detour to your final goal. Yes it sucks right now and only time will heal this wound, but it is a minor wound. Join the unit as a CPer do well academically, on your PRTs, and with the unit. If you...

Lots of info out there about Side Load Scholarships, but it is basically just a opportunity for a College Programmer to get a scholarship after there freshman or sophomore year. You have to have a scholarship(or exception called Advanced Standing) to continue in the NROTC past Sophomore year...

As usual, Capt MJ's information is spot on. NROTC is not your typical path for going into the medical field after college. Their mission is to prepare Navy Warfare Officers in specific communities. Your service obligation will likely take precedent over going to PA School. I'm not saying...
