All other posters are accurate regarding the import of contacting your unit. You may expect to have to get the medical paperwork that college programmers use filled out as well, just so your unit can be sure you're fit to train. Look back through your unit's Welcome Aboard package, my guess is...

Are you going to be a midshipman on scholarship? If you are then I believe the letter is the same thing that officially notifies you of your selection after the email from Pensacola. I received mine in the mail about a month after the email notification. If memory serves me right, that came from...

Great advice OP, only thing I could add to that is make sure to take the opportunity to ask plenty of questions. Ask your squad leader questions. Ask the instructors during the workshops questions. Ask anyone you can things about life at the Academy (short of being that one candidate who doesn't...

Seconding @Pineapples11, you'll find that there aren't a great deal of restrictions placed on what you can and can't have, so long as you aren't bringing any actual contraband along for your stay. Anything you don't feel like bringing around all day can be left by your rack, so if it's ever a...

Lots of really helpful information here, thank you again. At this point in time I think I'll be looking to go through fall semester and work on anything that might help that request, e.g. landing a solid initial GPA, improving my PFT score, and attending MO evolutions. After that I'll either...

Thank you Sir, these were right along what I was looking for. Just to clarify, those numbers are college GPA, USMC PFT administered for the purposes of the application, and an SAT score from before entry? I'm assuming Navy option MIDN would usually not be tested by USMC standards unless going...

Sounds like it falls to the same reasoning as everything else: needs of the Marine Corps. From my loose understanding it seems like switching Marine to Navy requires more academic hurdles to jump through, while switching Navy to Marine requires physical hurdles. I'm sure that if you're looking...

Ah! Didn't know you had a connection there too! Seems like this whole forum can trace to USC. What a small world this NROTC thing is!

So this is something that pertains to myself and a few other prospective midshipmen that I know. When I began applying for the Navy option scholarship I was under the impression that a change of option was something that required some solid effort, but could usually be attained after freshman...

My 4-year Navy Option NROTC scholarship was just transferred to the University of South Carolina. Go Gamecocks!

Hah, I have a friend who is currently a 3/C up there and I've heard all about that stadium. In related news, I checked Netfocus this morning and my scholarship was already transferred successfully, which was must faster than I expected! Now I've just got to finish up this whole high school...

Good evening all, I've been an active guest on this website for the past several months while I worked through my application process for NROTC and I figured this is as good a time as ever to make a legitimate account. I'm a high school senior who has already been selected for the 4-year Navy...
