If you dont get a scholarship, remember if your plan B or C has any type on ROTC unit, you can try to get a multi year scholarship once in college or after the 1st semester. At my unit, we had several that got picked up after the first semester and several that awaiting for the side along. If...

I know that this thread is about NROTC scholarships and how competitive that it is to obtain a 4 year and more coming for the side alongs. One thing that should you or your DD/DS be a STEM major check out the NUPOC and CEC programs as should you get accepted into either, it pays more than your...

@ Capt MJ Your photo from 2003 brings back memories of people riding jet skis and using various boats to get around DTA! Why is that if there is a TS/hurricane name with an "I" (Isabelle/Irene), DTA gets flooded? Hurricane Matthew could lose a lot of steam before coming the eastern seaboard, but...

Should you still need help in studying for either SAT/ACT and money is tight for what ever reason, check out http://jrotccollegeprep.com/ You dont need to be in jrotc to use it. The unit at my college puts this out for people that want to apply for SA/ROTC and need to get their scores up. Good...

For all of those waiting on the boards for either side along or AS, if your a STEM major, you might want to check out some of the other programs Navy has to offer! NUPOC, CEC and more. I know that if your selected for NUPOC, you get $15k normally within 2-3 weeks of being sworn in as an E6 (on...

We do not have any type of GPA requirement in order to come over to our house. The GPA, is for my dad teaching MIDS how to trade (he manages a hedge fund). My parents are just like other parents regarding GPA. Do your best and if you need ei, then go. As most know, near the beginning of of 2C...

LongAgoPlebe, CaptMJ and Hoops have nailed dead on! I can attest to seeing so many HS superstars come and get humbled by AC. Yes plebes and have a support system set in place to help struggling MIDS of all classes. Parents tell your DD/DS NOT to be ashamed to ask for help as it may be the first...

Sometimes it sucks reading some of the comments about the numbers of plebes who could not handle a normal summer here in Annapolis. The only job that most plebes have is learn to embrace the suck. Be it memorizing news articles, menus, rules of sentry, rates or what ever. if they cant do this...

I would have to agree with previous posts, regarding detailers. Listening to some of them (we have two that come over nightly) about some of the excuses. Class of 2020 will have more DOR than normal as compared to past years. For those of us that live in Annapolis area, the heat /humidity is...

As one who has driven a many plebe to all of the various airports (National, Dulles and BWI), allowing 3 hours to get from yard to BWI, through security check point is quite reasonable to me. On the return, I would recommend to catch an early to mid afternoon flight as to help alleviate...

I would also agree with several posters that it depends on the school. I know that some of my classmates got NROTC scholarships to UMichigan and TAMU. All three were waitlisted OOS until their were notified of their respective NROTC scholarships. After that all 3 were accepted within 1 week...

I am using my brothers account. I am also in similar boat as my birthday is July 2! I will be graduating from Phillips Exeter at 16 (skipped a grade and no kindergarten). Thankfully we live in Annapolis so I can walk over to Admissions as to inquire if an age waiver is even remotely possible. I...
