Obviously I am swelling up with pride for my daughter who recently commissioned. I am even prouder of the way she picked herself up after a few stumbles on her journey! As a parent, I always knew it was her journey, but also worried about how she would fare through some tough challenges. Many...

Just trying to figure out the timing so I am not 'in trouble' with my insurance through work, as she would then be removed from my policy or benefits once she is active duty, so to speak. Which is why I'm making her go to the eye dr, dentist, etc just before commissioning!

Anyone know whether those that commission in May will have their summer cruise waived? Since covid cancelled last summer’s cruise for them, (which I thought was mandatory) will they commission without it? or do they have up train first before their assignments?

Going through things in my folks’ house and I came across some photos and negatives my Dad took during the war in the pacific. They could use enlarging! But you can see they were taken from ship’s deck. In addition, I found some correspondence post cards from 1944 someone wrote his folks. I...

I know it may depend on what items are needed, I also know that my daughter will need a lot of new things and will need some new sizes this spring. But I am just looking for ball park figure of total cost as I would like to purchase them for a graduation present and will need a few months to...

just a curious mom wondering whether they will waive the training or postpone commissioning in the spring. And, of course, hoping commissioning will be in person. Not sure if anyone Has heard anything.

I was wondering whether anyone with knowledge may have experience with PRB written response after recs made. Just hypothetical at this point. However, in the event that a nrotc has a PRB (academic only) and a recommendation for LOA is made, I understand that that the mid may submit a written...

I have to pick my vacation days soon for the next 15 months. (which stinks when you have kids and try to plan!)

Hopefully not needed for anyone here. I thought it may be of interest to pass on to any lawyers out there, or others who may have interest. Since I received info on it, and recall some earlier questions about this, thought I would share. It is Oct 16.

Im just curious about this, since when I was in college struggled with one class and could do this, but not sure if someone on scholarship can do this to help save GPA when in a tough class.

Since DD has a few years to go before graduation, we are aware that her ranking for desired assignment upon graduation factors final GPA (nrotc). My question then is whether the fact that a college does not curve their grades vs a college that does make any difference? My gut is probably not...

I know it may be too soon to tell, my accountant wasn't too sure yet about ROTC or college scholarships if the new tax laws change what students must file for taxes this year. I was looking at the links for 'old' tax law, and it got me thinking if this has changed. Anyone know yet?

I have to choose my vacation dates for next year, and was looking at last years' dates. Any of you experienced folks have knowledge? thanks in advance!

Just curious what the percentage is after graduation, and if someone were interested would it be helpful to obtain more scuba certs on their own prior to graduation?

DD collided with another last night at practice and now has a nasal fracture, according to emergency room, but we have to follow up with ENT in a few days and she was advised no athletics for time being. NROTC (scholarship) and College start in August, as she will be a freshman. 1. Does she...

I recall reading that for the academies there were certain immunizations that were mandatory. Does anyone know if that is the same for NROTC students? Aside from the usual ones for high school, I was wondering whether my DD is required to get 'optional' ones for hpv protection or any others?

My DD was 'turned down' on her USNA application last week, but has accepted 4 year NROTC scholarship. Her BGO mentioned that she may not be able to re-apply to the Academy as an NROTC student because there is a chance that the unit may not be willing to release her? Is this something unit...

DD was awarded NROTC scholarship and the unit was transferred to a great engineering school, however my concern is that perhaps she should consider changing her major (she has to do so before entering the university and get approval from the school) to a 'lesser' science [my perception of...

My daughter was not accepted to first choice school back in December, but did receive a 4 year NROTC scholarship. While waiting to hear from other schools, she changed the unit as per good advice listed here, to her 'safe' school, just to ensure that she would have a spot somewhere this fall...
