I've found that coffee and mid-day naps are the best way to compensate for the fact that it's very difficult to get a good night's sleep with PT the next day...Just gotta tough it out for the week and look forward to (hopefully) getting the chance to catch up on sleep during the weekend.

Anyone know the rules about watches and sunglasses during PT?

Thank you for all the help and guidance you and many others on this forum have given over the last year. I'm heading to Navy ROTC Freshman Orientation/Indoctrination in roughly 2 weeks!

I'll take a look at it. I received a NROTC scholarship this past winter and I'd like to think that my essays were pretty good...

Hey All, So I wondering how the NROTC Book Stipend worked... If we're on scholarship, do we pay upfront for the books and the Navy reimburses us? If so, what's the amount we're given each semester? Thank you you for your time. Josh

Yes. Like I said, my run in December of 2010 was 12:48. Since then, I took some time off and traveled abroad for 4 months so I couldn't really start a physical fitness program. I started seriously prepping when I got home on June 1st and my current 1.5 mile time is 11:10... If you commit, you...

At the time that I applied for AFROTC I was also pretty out of shape. I had similar stats to yours and got a 12:48 on my 1.5 mile. I was still awarded a Type 7 scholarship. The way it was explained to me, the results on your physical fitness test matter very, very little compared to everything...

Stay hydrated, folks

I received a Tier 2 NROTC scholarship this year and I had a similar problem. My intended major was and still is Quantitative Economics however on the application itself I couldn't find it on the drop list. I just chose a different tier 2 major (I think physics) and it all worked out the same...

Absolutely. Thank you for your great suggestions.

Hey everyone, Just to give some context, I have just graduated high school and I have received an NROTC scholarship that I will use next fall- I'm still not sure where exactly I'm going to college. That being said, I decided it would be a good idea if i buffed up on military (specifically...

Are you aware of how impossible it is to get a spot at BUD/s through NROTC?

I was considering taking a gap year off after high school and traveling but ultimately I decided that, being an officer in the Navy, I would have ample opportunity to travel the world and experience new things. I would say that the same goes for studying abroad. Being an officer in the...
