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...

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...

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!

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...

SNEAKERS: Is there a preferred sneaker brand for ROTC, the packet I received from my NROTC unit detailed that they needed to be conservative. I like Asics- but they're really brightly colored, and I've tried Brooks and they held up decently. I would like a quality shoe that can hold up for a...

I have 3 DQ's on the table (all were wavered by USNA- and I am still on the WL). I accepted the NROTC scholarship and the portal was updated and moved instantly to "Pending Waiver Review" w/ NROTC review board. I am just wondering if I should be the "squeaky wheel" or if the prior information I...

VIA my application to USNA I experienced some troubles with getting medically qualified and was awarded a waiver from USNA for the issues. Based on past experiences, is NROTC (generally) more or less relaxed in policy than USNA? I know that the waiver wouldn't necessarily be "carried over" per...

I have learned of two additional commissioning (or at least I believe are commissioning) options that I could possibly take advantage of in place of (or in addition to?) NROTC or USNA. One is called NUPOC, which I have heard glowing responses to. The other called STA (Seaman to Admiral)- which I...

Through the process of preparing my Plan B I have come to realize that I have 2 options; stay in-state and make it easier for the reapplication process or go out of state and attend a more competitive school. I have been accepted into several highly ranked Engineering programs and am trying to...

1. Is there a final date that the board will let us know of our results? My parents are getting a bit stir crazy with all of the options I have and the NROTC result is the only thing preventing me from making a finite decision. 2. Is anyone familiar with the protocol for switching schools for...

How do these units work? Are there special times for classes, training, etc? What does this mean in terms of the scholarship? I applied to WPI- a crosstown affiliate to College of the Holy Cross, does this mean that there is a individual unit at WPI and just the resources (officers/classes) are...

In response to a question I saw earlier and to meet the needs of fellow users and organize information, I decided to create this thread. It is the same layout as the appointment thread. To list, please use your handle/Son or Daughter/LOA - Letter of Assurance (yes or no)/Notification Date of...

Being in a NROTC unit is something that I would like to do in college and realized the other day that I have no clue how to actually join a unit, despite having gone through the NROTC scholarship process. I am visiting a school with a unit this coming Monday and am sending the freshman advisor...

I am looking for any and all advice/information/ etc. about SUNY Maritime as I would like to seriously consider it one of the schools I would like to attend. I received a decent aid package and am a contender for the NROTC scholarship at this school, and realized that I do not know enough about...

Just a little FYI- I received a waiver last Friday (3/13) via a portal update and a DODMERB update the Monday after that. This evening I received a letter in the mail from USNA officially informing me of the changed status. The notification came in a TWE - but not as a rejection, but a formal...

I'm searching for any of the NROTC Scholarship Applicants from Maryland. I am having A LOT of trouble getting in contact with the individuals in charge of interview portion and wanted to see if it was a me error or a them error. I have been leaving voicemails and emails since the beginning of...
