Eager to know what your decision is going to be. I know that you have until May 1st to decide, or if you haven't yet.

And yes, the real challenge is when she starts college on NROTC scholarship and doing all that balancing act!

As you know, the ISR into one's top choice school doesn't guarantee automatic acceptance to one's top-choice school. DD is still working on, editing and editing her essays while saddled with 5 AP's. At her school, students enrolled in AP courses have to sit down for the exams in May. Unlike in...

DD just received her NROTC 4-yr ISR scholarship to her 1st choice school! Thank you so much, guys, for all the guidance. Am sure, I will be asking more questions.

Thanks. That's what I think so too. Everything affected by the shutdown....

Hi, Would anybody of you guys know if ISR results with top school choice assignment have already been awarded? I understand from your postings that there was no board last August. There probably was one in September. We are now mid-October. There should be awarding of those big checks soon...

NROTC at Harvard Hi Agent, How is NROTC at Harvard/MIT, and how is the academic load as an NROTC scholar? NROTC pays for tuition and books and gives out a monthly stipend. Are other scholarships available for room and board? Please PM me, if you wish. Are you majoring in East Asian...

Hi Kinnem, Thanks for pointing out this one to me! You have been a great help! I think DD and I have good enough info for now to start the application. We will surely stumble somewhere along the road, and I will send you a message again. Hope you won't mind all the questions! Thanks, TMT

Hi Moostache, Yeah, I was looking for the meaning of SFT. And I thought that the FT stood for fitness training or test again.:confused: Would you happen to have a copy of the AFROTC curriculum of any school? I am curious as to what ROTC courses the cadets take. Kinnem was kind enough to...

Thanks, Pima, for your help on the acronyms!

Hey, Kinnem, wow, from 6:00 to 21:00! That is indeed a LIFE! :shake: But if you enjoy doing something and you really aspire to be a respectable, honorable officer, you should do it, rain or shine! I wonder how DD would survive the summer cruises....but you see, I probably can't, but our kids...

Sorry, NOT "kids" but cadets! Can't stop thinking of myself as a parent! Sorry for that!

And all Navy/Marine summer cruises or training are domestic, or they might train at US bases overseas? These kids also have time for some relaxation at the end of the day, I surmise? I mean, they can't attend lectures, do drills, etc all 24/7, right?
