I hope that he doesn't make that opinion public at his unit.

The above gouge is mostly right except for one thing. College programmers DO go to NSI provided they fill out the right paperwork with their unit by a certain date. This past year, due to COVID and budget reasons CPs did not go. The cycle before that, everyone went assuming they had their...

NROTC got our assignments yesterday

NROTC mandated all rising 1/c to get the vaccine or not go on cruise. Since 1/C cruise is a requirement to commission, we all had to get it. Why was it ok for them to do that if the vaccine isn't mando for all service members? Not complaining at all, I was going to get it anyway, but just curious...

"NROTC will have to suffice." Great attitude bud. Hopefully your experience in NROTC changes your view, but I will say this: The program has a way of weeding out those who think lesser of ROTC as a commissioning source, those with a lack of motivation to be there, and those who just don't want...

NROTC forced every rising 1/C to get the vaccine in order to go on cruise, and not too many complaints from our battalion. It was made "optional" for other cruises, but we all know what "optional" really means...

If paying for college isn't an issue and if he is set on pursuing a commission in the Marine Corps, the PLC program is a good way to go as well.

I live in California and I requested a west coast aviation cruise. I got sent to Jacksonville... edit: not complaining though, 'm glad to even be on cruise

The whole point is for you to join your unit anyway. If anything that is the best thing to do. It can show BUMED that your condition does not prevent you from participating in your battalion activities.

Yes it is possible. I have many friends who are involved in both out battalion as well as a Fraternity or Sorority. However, it is worth keeping in mind that Greek life undeniably involves things like alcohol consumption, or other....*interesting* actions that can detract from your development...

If you go naval aviation, there's a chance you won't be on a carrier based platform...thats something to consider as well.
