    Norwich cadet navy packing list

    lwutke, as a rook, you will have minimal time to go all the way to the laundry facilities and sometimes, I've heard (since I did not choose the service), they're not always on time. Plus, until you are recognized, you will have to square corners everywhere you go and that will not always be easy...

    Norwich cadet navy packing list

    I am at Norwich. I do not recommend the linen service as a rook. You may find it difficult and stressful to find the TIME and to square all the corners to take and pickup your laundry.

    USMA strict on waivers?

    DODMERB and ROTC

    I applied to the USMA and for an Army ROTC scholarship. Last winter, I was awarded a 3 yr ROTC scholarship on the 2nd boarding. I was medically DQ'ed by DoDMERB and, after submitting AMI, received the waiver from USMA but was denied by ROTC. I was denied admission to the USMA one week before...
