    NROTC - USMC Scholarship PFT

    I was in a similar position as you. Had great academics but never played sports in high school and had a lower PFT score. Here’s my insight... As you know, the Marine Corps values physical fitness. A pft score under a first class will most likely be the deciding factor on your scholarship...

    Marine Corps PFT Training/Fall Sports

    I had a similar situation my senior year. Never played any sports in highschool but wanted to become a Marine Officer. Joined the XC team senior year and shaved off 4 minutes on my 3 mile time. I was awarded the four year scholarship. Joining the xc team is a solid option but you can easily...

    NROTC (Marine Corps v Navy)

    Coming from a MO mid: At my unit about 50% of unit activities are performed as a battalion as the rest are split up Navy option and Marine option. As I can only speak for the Marine Option side at my specific school, the main differences are: 1. We do extra pt 2. We primarily focus on OCS...

    NROTC - MO Needing advice

    I was awarded 4 year NROTC MO last year and here’s a couple things I learned about the selection process. Find some way to stand out. Whether it’s your pft score, academics, or extracurriculars, atleast one has to stand out. If you have a 300 on the pft then maybe a 28 ACT will hold. No one can...

    NROTC at RPI vs CU Boulder

Never been to RPI but from my experience talking with the rotc staff and students is that CU Boulder is a great place to be. Boulder is a college town and has about every outdoor activity available...

    GERD

    Went back to the gastrointestinal doc that did the initial endoscopy and did a re-evaluation. My initial diagnosis was mild esophogitis. After the revaluation he wrote a letter saying that I have no more symptoms or complications and the two months of treatment (Prilosec) worked. Do you think...

    Process for medical records

    just wondering what the procedure is for providing medical records at dodmerb exam. I’ve never really had one doctor and just go to urgent care clinics if I’m really sick so I’m not really sure how I’m going to scrape up all medical records. If need be, I will make it happen but just didn’t know...

    NROTC MO Results

    There’s no need to worry, I think my recruiter updated me a bit before official results have been posted. You seem to have solid stats but no one knows as of right now. The portal should be updated in the coming weeks with official notifications. Sorry for jumping the gun on this.
