    Always have your Plan B

    @soccmomer thank you so much for sharing your story and for everyone offering info on civilian jobs! I'm starting AFROTC's general military course this semester knowing that there's a good chance I will be medically DQ'ed when applying for the commissioning program, and it gives me comfort...

    Should I join JROTC?

    I'm a senior in HS and have been in JROTC since my freshman year- it's been an awesome experience full of wonderful opportunities other clubs can't give you. It mostly teaches leadership and career skills with a bit of military tradition mixed in. If your school has a program, I say go for it...

    Your 1st Year in NROTC- Scholarship vs NonScholarship

    Alright, cool! That's a relief. My issue is more horrible timing rather than something serious. I won't be medically cleared and back in shape to perform a good PT test before the scholarship application window closes in January, but Auburn doesn't take applications for their program until...

    Your 1st Year in NROTC- Scholarship vs NonScholarship

    I've recently hit a major roadblock and am pretty sure I won't have a chance at recieving a NROTC scholarship (not giving up, just being realistic). I am still planning on joining the NROTC detachment at my school (Auburn) and will try to gain a scholarship during my freshman year. However, I do...

    NROTC Nagging Questions...

    Midshipman, my apologies. I've been called a cadet for three years in AFJROTC, so it's a transition. I honestly have no idea how to go about this- I have no idea what goal pace I need or how many intervals of what I need to do. I was just planning on running a mile every day until I got my time...

    NROTC Nagging Questions...

    I have a few questions concerning the NROTC scholarship: First off, about the Applicant Fitness Assessment- I can pass the pushup and situp components, but my mile time is a laughable 10:30 :biglaugh: My academic/extracurricular profile is great, but the only thing holding me back from an A+...

    NROTC Application Process

    Thank you so much for explaining this! My original recruiter didn't have many answers to my questions. I've already had my officer interview, and I feel like it went well. I presented a resume, and he asked me about why I wanted to be in the Navy and presented me with different scenarios about...

    NROTC Application Process

    I'm a high school senior applying for an NROTC scholarship. When I first began the process, I was contacted by a coordinator in Nashville, who sent me to a nearby Navy recruiter. Originally, the recruiter tried to get me to sign up for some enlisted Nuke program, claiming it would "up my...
