Hoping someone on here has the expertise to provide feedback. Upon commissioning, a university donor provided each Midshipman with a cash grant of $XXXX to help them get started with initial expenses ie first month rent, uniforms, etc..basically whatever the new Naval Officer needed to spend it...

During precommissioning physical DS had issues with audiogram and he eventually had to see civilian doctor who turned in numbers to NROTC unit who then submitted to flight surgeon. He commissioned as SNA. So he's now at flight school getting ready to class up and he failed audiogram again...

There are many Midshipman and parents that follow this board so I thought I would share this tidbit of advice regarding what happens with housing after commissioning. Officers usually reside in off base housing. Can't emphasize enough making sure lease has military clause. My DS is coming up...

It is my understanding that even if you were awarded a 4 year NROTC scholarship, technically that scholarship does not become activated until you pass your PRT and weigh in when you report 1st semester. Is this correct. I'm asking because DS received a letter from Pensacola informing him that...

My DS is graduating and commissioning this year. He will be going to flight school. He does not have a car and we are looking to get one. Would buying or leasing be a better option for someone in the military just starting out. I'm providing him with the down payment since he saved me...

My DS received the NROTC scholarship. When he applied he indicated a Tier 2 Civil Engineering degree. This is also the major he indicated on his college apps. He's been doing some research and thinks he wants to major in Mechanical instead. I know the school he is interested in incorporates...
