    transfering my rotc scholarship

    First off, congrats on getting accepted to UCLA- go Bruins! Second, IF for whatever reason the scholarship is not approved to get transferred, I would make sure you pick the school that's the best fit, not necessarily the one where the scholarship is to attend. As a side note, as UCLA is harder...

    Preparing for AROTC Fall 2014

    I second those who have said to work out continuously and to practice getting up early. The first day of PT we ran 1 1/2 and did intervals of pushups and situps afterward- that was the easiest PT workout I can recall us doing. Also, at my battalion for lab we often had to be at formation at...

    Nursing NROTC information

    My two cents are such: Definitely look into the other branches as well. I was dead set on Navy while in high school (grew up near a base, family members in the Navy/Marine Corps., etc.), but after I was denied the NROTC Nurse Corps. scholarship, I followed the advice of wise posters on here and...

    Why ROTC is awesome (even though now I can't do it)

    Why ROTC is awesome (even though now I can't do it)

    @Bull: Basically, I keep straining the same muscle that goes from my hip to my knee. I'm actually still in recovery- I injured my hip over winter break after already injuring my knee, and it's still not healed. I'm actually going to the doctor again this week to see if it actually tore. It...

    AROTC

    To reiterate what was said: I didn't apply for the AROTC scholarship. I contacted the Battalion at my school of choice and the ROO made sure I got all of my paper work in order. The sooner you do it, the better. The first couple of people who did and were able to pass the APFT (or get really...

    Cb7893: Thanks for the offer! So many great folks on this forum.:biggrin: Payitforward: I’m a nursing major, so my plan B is really just continuing to pursue that. Maybe join more clubs and activities at school now that I have the time.:thumb: Kinnem: Thanks! You are such an awesome...

    Why ROTC is awesome (even though now I can't do it)

    As some of you may remember, last year I was an applicant for NROTC (Nurse Option). I was notified by January, I think, that I did not receive the scholarship. I felt discouraged, but ended up picking a great college that if I had gotten the NROTC scholarship I wouldn't have gotten to go to. I...

    Notification

    OP: I have found out from the website first each time there was a new development. Good luck! S&H, First all of the paperwork needs to go through DoDMETS. Once your status on DoDMETS says "Complete" or "Closed" or something to that extent (can't remember), that means they have forwarded the...

    Army ROTC Scholarship

    Is your safety school more or less expensive than UCLA? That may make it harder to transfer. And yes, I'm sure the cadre would like to meet you; however, as UCLA is a public school, it will in no way affect admission. I'm not sure if that's what StrengthandHonor meant by "swing the odds in your...

    Asthma

    This is just coming from my experience- I was diagnosed with possible asthma as a child and, concerned it would be an issue with DoDMERB, I went ahead and went to a specialist for testing. The specialist cleared me and said he saw no reason that I would not be able to serve. I explained all of...

    How will a government shutdown affect ROTC?

    I'm currently in the process of DoDMERB, and today when I tried to log into the site to check my status, it said that it had been ordered to be shut down while the government is shut down :thumbdown:

    Changing Usernames?

    Does anyone know if there is a way for me to change usernames while keeping the same account? I created my username while in the process of applying to NROTC over a year ago- I am now an MSI in Army ROTC. If anyone knows how I can change my username that would be great :)

    NROTC Nurse Option

    If I could/knew how, I would link you to the thread I started a little less than a year ago. There are some users that were really helpful on it. I think if you search NROTC Nurse Option you can find it. I applied for the scholarship last year and did not receive it. I am currently in the...
