As a parent of a child who was awarded a NROTC-MO scholarship in December 2022, I would disagree with the comment that the PFT does not impact the selection process that much. These scholarships are difficult to obtain based on the number offered each year. Every component of the application is...

The PTR instructions indicate mids need to have a social security card. We already uploaded it on the USNA website. Will a color copy front and back be acceptable on IDay or do they have to bring their card?

Have your DS and DD check their PTR. There is a test required after Jan 1 of this year for tuberculosis. Looks like two options, one requires two Dr visits and the other is a blood test. They are asking for this info by 5/15 so sooner than later is better.

I received one for the CVW later this week.

That’s crazy. I would contact your MOC who gave you a nomination and I’m sure they would be more than willing to make a few calls to get you in soon. I know it’s a state issue and not a federal one.

Go to the website below for info. There are three different date options to attend. Each iteration is 3 weeks. All 4 year scholarship midshipmen have to attend. https://www.netc.navy.mil/Commands/Naval-Service-Training-Command/NROTC/Program-Info/

We are traveling from a far west state so I am wondering what to plan for travel. We are getting in Tuesday afternoon to give DS a full day before drop off. I-Day is tentatively scheduled for Thursday. What day do they take their oath? After that I assume it’s time to leave the yard as we won’t...

Done that already. Thanks for the feedback. DS has a Marine Corps scholarship so this doesn’t impact the Navy NROTC applicants.

DS is in the same boat but his NSI report date (notified this week) is the first group in early June three weeks before IDay so feel somewhat compelled to notify NROTC if his choice as would not want to have a blemish on his record that he failed to report.

You should have received an email from Eventbrite as utilizing the website was required to register for CVW, at least it was for our DS.

The NROTC application asked if the applicant was applying for other ROTC scholarships and service academies so the boards have an idea of what the applicants are doing. If awarded a MO NROTC you have to accept it within 30 days, at least that what our contact told us.

I think the academies know what they are doing. The current process identifies the best candidates on the factors the applicants can control. Academics, leadership, extracurricular activities etc. If they screened on medical the quality pool would be diminished and then the decision on waivers...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Most states require sickle cell test results at birth. In Texas it's part of the newborn screening list. I found some NROTC guidance online that allows the use of those test results. I was able to request those from DS pediatrician (found them 18 years later)...

I wouldn’t recommend being in the Corps of Cadets 3 years and missing your Zip “senior” year. Work so hard to get your senior boots and never get to use them at a march-in or wear them to class. 😩 That would be a waste along with missing all the good times with your buddies.
