My kid and other fellow college midshipmen generally were receiving $7-8,000 checks from the school per semester over the course of their scholarships. My kid was fully funding Roth IRAs DURING college. Thank you US Navy and the college! Then my kid’s payback comes as a US Navy (bonus heavy)...

Daughter’s experience with her visit at Vanderbilt was awesome. Came in on a beautiful day, had a parking spot reserved with her name and a current midshipman stationed at the door awaiting her arrival with a greeting. Daughter spoke to the units’ leadership and they even spoke to the old...

And even if you have an older kiddo, DVIDS is still a great site for potential training pics. According to my daughter, the ship’s DVIDS photographer is frequently tired of shooting the crew after a while and flocks to newbies whenever they do anything remotely interesting. Here my daughter...

I don’t come by the SA Forums much anymore but a bit of humor came about with my midshipman’s monthlong summer training in the Persian Gulf. She loves all things Navy and has somehow matured even more than I thought possible but even those types can have bumps along the way. Okay, here’s a tip...

This all you need for USC:

New Update: Daughter feels very proud she was complimented by one of the DIs for her ability to yell at people. Said she had excellent projection. 🤣 Her mother taught her well.

Females with abnormally colored/dyed hair OR females with unusually lopsided in length haircuts were shaved identically to the males. That is all.

I’m pretty sure I’d love it!

Watch this video of the USC midshipmen. USC all the way. Life at USC NROTC

College, with or without ROTC, is whatever you make of it. My daughter is hyper-involved with college: NROTC, engineering major and sorority. She’s doing pretty well and having the time of her life. We were sad for her that the USNA didn’t work out but I don’t think she’d change a thing at this point.

We began to look into Col. Kirkland’s services when our daughter got an NROTC scholarship on the 1st board several years ago. If you haunt these pages the way I did at the time, nothing much that Mr. Kirkland had to offer was anything all that earth-shattering or much of a revelation. It would...

Same thing happened to a friend’s son at a Southeastern university. AFROTC unceremoniously dumped him and the Army unit on the other side of the wall snapped him up, sent him to summer training and he will be on scholarship in December 2021. Kid was a National Merit Scholar, lettered in 3...

To all NSI Participants this year, It’s CORTRAMID next year. Enjoy.

USC NROTC at its Finest!

Just down to the southwest there is a MUCH better option for NROTC at Miami University... 😀 IF you are working with an NROTC scholarship, the school allows ALL academic scholarship $$$ to be used for room and board. Late in the process and you probably haven’t applied for Miami academic...
