    "Midlife" MIDN Crisis

    I think there are a lot of parallels of what you are experiencing to the feelings and concerns of any 20-ish year old college student. My advice is always the same: TALK TO PEOPLE. Make an intentional effort to go outside of your school and talk to people in different careers. What do they like...

    NSI TRAVEL HELP

    DS is at NSI2 now and my daughter and I are heading out next Sunday to graduation. We are all on the same flight home but have assumed we will meet him at the gate, and not be able to leave with him after graduation, as we didn’t drop him off. That’s our read of the instructions anyway.

    NSI - support for parents

    My son is there for session 2 now. Wildfire smoke is bad but we dealt with it a month ago (east coast) — and during lacrosse practice and games. 😂 He was fine then and it was way worse than it is there today. I’m sure they’ll all be alright.

    Turning scholarship from 4 to 5 year.

    My son (NROTC) was looking at 5 year programs resulting in BS + MS in engineering at his school and wondered the same - whether we could pay for the 5th year and he then enters 1 year later, or whether Navy would pay 5th year and he adds 1 or 2 years to commitment. Or (most likely) no. He plans...

    NSI Graduation Ceremony (NROTC)

    There is a form he got when he was assigned a session that he can fill out and bring with him to NSI. I have the details about how many can go (4 max) and when it is (8:45am) and ends (10am) but that's about it. I did a quick check for hotels and I didn't see any. Hoping someone else has been or...

    NSI Graduation Ceremony (NROTC)

    Does anyone know any details about the NSI graduation ceremony, held on the final day of each NSI session? I would like to try to attend if we can and just wondering if others have gone or what the day is like? I assume we find a hotel somewhere near the base, given the early arrival time; any...

    CO 2027 TWEs....Would You Do It All Again or a Bit Differently?

    Yes! Not get hopes THAT far up. Remember that the math is not on anyone's side. Getting a BFE is a low likelihood event for even the best candidates. You and your daughter may know that on paper, but let me tell you, once they get a nomination, once they clear DoDMERB, once they clear the CFA...
