I would love to get some feedback from parents about their Mid's meals at CORTRAMID EAST. Just interested to hear what is being said about meals and Mids keeping fueled with the hectic schedule.

It clearly depends on your schedule, your resources, and whether it is important to your kid. We did go, as I knew it was important for our son. It is true that the ceremony is about an hour, and you get probably 20 minutes with your child before they ship them all off to the airport by bus. I...

If your kid is selected for a scholarship and is waiting for a DODMERB waiver/completed physical you can substitute a sports physical to participate in NSI. The form is included with the NSI paperwork and is also available here...

When you think about the financial and life benefits that are involved here plus the overall excellent quality of the candidates that is amazing. I am surprised there aren't a ton more candidates who want to serve. My son attends a school where an NROTC scholarship turns into a full ride. It...

CAPT Meyers- So trying to focus on the positive here, can you tell us what the overall selection rate is compared to the number of completed and submitted applications?

While you should give primary consideration to selecting a school that feels like a fit for you, you can also take into consideration what additional benefits each school offers. My son attends a school that picks up R&B for all ROTC scholarship students regardless of branch. That essentially...

Thanks for responses! Baby powder or spray on Gold Bond sounds like great advice!

So my DS shared the NSI packing list with me. I got a little chuckle as it says "2" pair of underwear. NSI is I think 17 days. I assume they are not issuing underwear but what do I know. Maybe they are. I also can't imagine they are sending out one pair of underwear to the laundry everyday...

Please, take it down a thousand. I challenge you or anyone on this forum who hasn't done something stupid or not in their own best interest when they were young. Everyone on this site knows what they did and did not do when they were 17, even if they don't want to admit it to themselves. If your...

Thank You!

Captain Meyers- I see Nojer12 was lifted off the Alternate list. Congrats to them:)! For those applicants that are still waiting, are Alternate selections ongoing or is this the end of the road? Thanks.

Use this link for 2021 & 2022 application status: https://netfocus.netc.navy.mil/nrotc/candidate_app/status_scholarship.aspx

I think the real question is if you are CPR, are you REALLY CPR? When you look at past years and you see candidates being CPR until April 14th and then receiving a rejection, one might make the conclusion that CPR is just a placeholder (i.e. A decision has already been made but for some reason...

Captain Meyers- Do you know if the first March board results have already been released? Thank you.
