    NROTC vs. Summer/Career Opportunities

    This is only my personal experience, and not representative of the program, but I am currently doing a 12 week summer internship and not going on summer cruise as a rising MIDN 1/C. I told my cadre very early in my 2/C year that I had an internship within the Department of Defense for the...

    When is SF86 filled out/dual citizen?

    I am by no means an expert, but from what I understand in order to be granted a security clearance you must renounce your foreign citizenship. If you are on scholarship you will receive a clearance before CORTRAMID in order to participate in sub week. When you begin the paperwork likely varies...

    Cortramid mandatory

    It is extremely hard to miss CORTRAMID for your reason, however, it is possible for your Second and First Class cruises. I know several mids who missed their Second Class cruise in order to take summer classes or to do internships. The First Class cruise is a commissioning requirement, but it...

    NROTC Scholarship to Coast Guard Commission

    I'm sure there are others more familiar with DCSS program, but, from the research I have done, the key part of the program is the two year ROTC participation requirement. Once you contract with the Navy (first day Sophomore year for 4 year and 3 year scholarship winners and first day Junior...

    SWO-Intel Option

    I am a current 2/C Midshipman and I hope to eventually transition into Navy intel from surface warfare. I interned with a three letter agency this past summer where I was given great exposure to the Intelligence Community and an interim TS/SCI that was never finally adjudicated. Beyond the...

    Cornell University NROTC ?S

    I am a current MIDN at Cornell. It's a great unit with a phenomenal staff that will make sure you're ready to enter the fleet when you graduate. The unit is small, possibly the smallest in the country, with only 25 MIDN, half of whom are freshman. I am in a unique position where I transferred...

    NROTC Interview

    My CO mentioned just yesterday that when he conducts Skype interviews he makes the interviewee stand up to do something just to see if they dressed up fully. As stupid as it sounds (my CO definitely has a sense of humor) I'd forgo the flip flops and cargo shorts.

    NROTC Transfer

    I am a college programmer third class and I transferred after my freshman year from a big state school to an elite private one. I am also trying to pickup a two year scholarship. What I know from my limited experience in the program is transferring shouldn't hurt except for possibly decreasing...

    eosinophilic esophagitis

    To the OP, I have had a history of EE and I am currently a 3/C MIDN in NROTC medically qualified by DoDMERB. My case differs slightly but I will share my experience. In my case I was diagnosed at age 12, eliminated my food allergies for four years then retested them to find that I grew out my...

    Havent heard yet

    Very true! I'm ecstatic about Cornell, but it comes with a hefty price tag and I don't have a NROTC scholarship. Of course I will attempt to get a three year scholarship, but I'm going to the ILR school which is non technical and it will probably be very hard for me to get one. In the end I...

    Still have not looked at my application?

    On my Bear's Den portal everything is complete and checked off except, "Cadet Candidate Evaluation Board Review Complete." Is it possible that my application has not been reviewed yet? Or is Bear's Den just not updated? Thank you

    NROTC Advanced Standing?

    I read over on the airwarriors forum that advanced standing was not given out to the classes of 2013 and 2014. Does anyone know the likelihood of advanced standing being granted to midshipmen in the class of 2017? Any more information about how advanced standing works I would greatly...

    Allergies

    In my case, I used to have food allergies that I grew out of and I have the occasional air allergy attack, but I was deemed fully qualified by DoDMERB. Take this with a grain of salt however, as every case is unique.
