Well in DS's case his citizenship in both countries was a birthright...not a choice. He meets the "test" of being a citizen of the USA by birth and parental citizenship and is willing to attest his loyatlies. I know that the process of renouncing and getting the paperwork requested is going...

USMCgrunt....thanks...yes I know most is anecdotal...I was hoping someone might have been through this recently and be able to point to regulation....which there must be somewhere! AROTCparent....yes working it from the consulate end now....I am sure it is mostly a paperwork exercise...just...

Yes we can see that he does have to get the renouncing done sooner rather than later....my questions are that the security clearance is way down the road....the contracting business is right now. Ripping up your passport does not undo your citizenship....so there must be a process that is...

I have searched the ROTC forum and not found anything on this that is recent. My DS was offered and accepted a 4year Army ROTC and has just started college this fall. He is a US citizen by birth and a dual status citizen of a US allied country that was his fathers country of birth. He has...

Your post brings up a question in my mind that has me somewhat puzzled. DS has applied MO NROTC so I have been keeping an eye on the acceptance threads awaiting word from this last board. As I read many of the threads here I see many school listed in the south as the schools of choice, and...

Does anyone know where the PIN on the new Netfocus page comes from? Is it already created somewhere or does the student just make one up? ~Thanks~

Yes, he is Marine option...thanks for the good wishes. Will let you know how it goes.

DS has his interview and fitness test scheduled at the recruiting office on Friday. Does anyone have insight on the likeliness of this happening or is it dependent on each district/office? Seems to me like this would be a non-essential function....even if it doesnt feel that way to us. Thanks...

USMC, Exactly the kind of succinct document I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing it! I have sent it along to DS...it will provide a great outline of whats coming ahead and help demystify some of it for him. Some of my fears have probably just been grounded in ignorance of the...

Pima, Ok...now I understand what you meant. And very surprising about the way the scholarship can pop up in an unexpected way! Thanks to you, and all, for your assistance and insight. The folder idea is excellent and I will go buy them this weekend. And of course...we will try to sit back...

Pima, No doubt you are correct! Even without the added pressure of trying to garner nominations and scholarships just getting in to a chosen college/university seems a whole lot more pressurized than "back in the day" for me. I think I was pretty typical in that I picked out the one school I...

Dear Desk Jocky, Thank you so much for that insight. You captured exactly what I was thinking...how could the Navy hope a student who was very able to compete at excellent universities to accept at a mid-range school. But I also understand that budget realities exist. I will suggest he make...

Just tried to PM P-17 but since I am a new user I havent enough posts to do that. If you are reading please feel free to reach out to me! ~mum

Thanks for the quick reply. I will try to get in touch with P17...its all so stressful trying to figure it all out...you guys are great! ~justamum

Hi, I am trying to locate any list or discussion that speaks to state/public schools that currently (2013) offer in state tuition to ROTC students from out of state. I am a bit confused on this point....but it seems that there has been a change in policy now that one of the top 3 schools...
