    Question Regarding Aviation

    Hello everybody! To make this short my question is: Can I become a pilot in the Marine Corps (preferably rotary wing but if fixed wing is an option I will DEFINITELY take it) if I have sight issues? I am not sure what my exact sight is but I normally only wear glasses to drive (I can't...

    AFROTC's security certificate expired?

    There should be an option to "Proceed anyway" or something similar. This is a common error found on many websites of all types, not just military/government controlled ones. EDIT: A more in-depth explanation: All sites must renew their security certificate every 1, 2, or 5 years. Also, check...

    Drug Tests

    When I went in for my DoDMERB exam, I was not required to take a urinalysis test. It was in fact on the sheet that I received from DoDMERB in the mail (basically telling me what I had to look forward to) but the doctors said it was no longer required. I asked several times if I needed to take it...

    NROTC scholarship deadline

    NROTC MO means Naval ROTC Marine Option. If he is not selected for a scholarship, he could still enter a college of his choice with a NROTC MO program as a college programmer (without scholarship) and basically it works almost entirely the same except you pay for tuition. Your son still...

    What do you think about my NROTC essay ideas?

    My advice could be summed in a few points: -Be honest in everything you write/say to them. -Don't stress out about this TOO much. -Don't feed them generic answers. -Try to make yourself stand out somehow. Only you know yourself, we can't tell you what is special about you because we don't know...

    As a junior you are right on track. Try your best to ace that pft test come application time. Be sure that when you practice, you do all three together like you will for the actual test. Also remember to practice in the worst of conditions because you never know what it will be like on test...

    AROTC/AFROTC Interview tips?

    Of course I wasn't trying to get into a political debate. I've heard many sides of the story and was looking to see what really could have happened from a more reliable source. He explained everything. I didn't ask him much regarding ROTC because I have done my homework - I could pretty much...

    AROTC/AFROTC Interview tips?

    Also, I pretty much agree with everything kinnem said. I personally have never even heard about the Geneva Convention, nor was I asked any crazy questions concerning the history of the military. They were basically standard questions (why do you want to be an officer, strengths, weaknesses...

    AROTC/AFROTC Interview tips?

    I think that is a really awesome question and would like to hear the results of what he/she says after the interview. I too am wondering. If the interviewer doesn't offer this "golden opportunity", you might consider asking toward the end of the interview if you could ask a few questions. That...

    AROTC/AFROTC Interview tips?

    I guess I should note that while in my interview, the Captain asked if I had applied to other ROTC programs. I said no (which was honest) and he said, "Good, that shows your commitment to the Marine Corps." If your interviewer asks you if you have applied, definitely don't lie to them...
