    Midshipman life insurance?

    Going through the Permit to Report package and was wondering what the general consensus is on the life insurance offered. an earlier seach on the forum seems to support it but here are some other factors that apply to DS that might warrant another thought. DS is 18 and single. no dependents...

    Are 5 colleges really required?

    I was unable to find this answered elsewhere but I apologize if it is.... The NROTC site says applicants are "asked" to apply to five schools (one being in-state). Question: is this a hard number? can someone apply to say 3 (one of which is in-state) and not do the other two? let's assume...
