Actually, I will be commissioning this spring as well. Looking forward to possibly meeting your DS and working with them!

Hi! I got assigned SWO-Nuke (which btw was my 3rd option) and go to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Since I got SWO-N I decided to call off trying to get my masters via the co-term program at my school (which would have gotten me a Masters in 1yr). This decision is solely based on the fact...

Yes a senior!

Another question I have since I am just going to pile it all in onto this thread is about my birth control prescription and how I might be able to get it transferred over to a Tricare doctor. Or if I should just try to get the implant while I'm on my parent's insurance and not have to worry...

Does anyone have advice on what I should be getting for uniforms (or other useful items) to have following commissioning and entering the fleet? Abbott's package seems a bit expensive and I haven't really been able to find too many other options- any advice here? I was service assigned SWO-N so...

It has been a minute since I have posted to this forum (almost 4 years I think). During that time I have almost completed a BS in Nuclear Engineering and have been an active in the NROTC program at my school. This was the best decision I have ever made for myself and I am glad that my BGO...

Hello all, I am just now finishing up my 4/C year in college and it has been a BLAST. For those of you who are anxious/excited about college and NROTC, I thought I would reach out and attempt to answer some of your questions. For those interested in networking, I will be going CORTRAMID...

I can't remember what my scores were exactly, but I would guess that aiming for "GOOD" or above on the PRT scale is a good first goal marker. In reality, your scores (to be competitive) should be Excellent/ Outstanding while in school. For females a good is above 62 situps/24 pushups/ 13:30...

Up until a few hours ago I did not want to re-apply to the Academy because I did not see the advantage it could give me professionally; especially when compared to the education I will receive with my unit and school. For me this question is so much like the Migram experiment- would you...

@justdoit19 - I did not get an appointment (although I would like to think I was pretty close- I was on the WL until just before I-Day). I have battled with the struggle of re-applying since May and if it would be worth the time and effort for me both personally and professionally. Although...

BlackIce- My first school was the Naval Academy, and I ended up at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My only advice would be to ask questions. As many as you can and about anything. Most people are open to answering about something they are passionate about and had I asked more in beginning I...

Hello all, It's been a few (really busy) months since I have posted and am going to have some null time this weekend and would be open to fielding your questions about NROTC. Just as a heads up/ reminder I'm a 4/C MIDN Tier 1 major. I tried to make playing a D3 sport work - but for me: 21...

I am going to be bluntly honest- I am (too) an incoming freshman NROTC mid so take what I have with a grain of salt. I don't know 100% about service selection or about how the medical relates to being able to choose a particular service BUT if you do decide to continue with Navy and end up not...

All of my paperwork together (check) PRT practicing- with good scores (check) College dorm supplies (check) Health (?) My sister has just come down with a severe case of mono and laryngitis/ an infection of some sort that has taken her to the ER three times this week. Mono is highly...

Who is eligible to swear a NROTC midshipman (candidate?) in for the ceremony? Are retired officers allowed to? Thank you!

Try the pinned post at the top of the page for some preliminary guidelines on reapplicants. Also your AC may/may not help to give some guidance, and the USNA website has a general outline for what they expect of reapplicants as well. Also following because I'm curious about the stats as well

It takes some time for the scores to pop up in the status portal. 1. Check ACT/SAT to see if the scores sent; check the online sending status and note the date for a later step. Also call and confirm verbally just to check your boxes 2. Send an email today so that USNA will see it first thing...

This past week, I had the fortunate ability to go to Norfolk and tour a couple of the ships that were being inspected and worked on; battleship, sub, carrier, and merchant T-AKE. Each presented their own unique atmosphere, and I want to learn more about what would be in store for me if I...

First, I need to give you a little background before answering your question. To put what I have to say in context. As someone who took AB/BC AP calculus (college Calc 1 and 2) as a sophomore in high school- taking Calc ahead of time is great to get the foundations down. I took it so early...

The whole nomination process works kind of like the Hunger Games, in the way that the more times you are entered into the raffle- the higher of a chance you have at getting selected. More nom apps= more entry chances Also, sometimes the nom is 'awarded' to 10 people on what is called a slate...
