Haha thank you for confirming that. If I have learned anything, it's to not believe everything you see on the internet.

I read before that by doing LREC, the Navy will have you in a database and you will be considered an expert in your language/region, meaning they can call upon your expertise when needed. Is this true?

If I major in IR and a language, would there be any reason to apply for LREC again? Like what exactly would differ by being in LREC and also doing IR and a language?

Yeah I'm aware. I'm currently in AP Calculus and AP Physics right now and I am doing fine in them, but I just don't enjoy them all that much.

That is reassuring. I was hoping that I wouldn't go into NROTC and be surrounded by a bunch of STEM majors and then either be looked down upon for not being as technically inclined as them or not be given the same opportunities simply because I chose to do something other than STEM.

In NROTC, specifically Navy Option, are tier 3 majors out of place at all or at a disadvantage? I am considering majoring in Security and Intelligence which falls under International Relations, and then minoring in a critical language. I know people might say to join AROTC or do Marine Option...

If I do not get a scholarship and go into NROTC as a college programmer, I do not get to go on the first summer cruise, correct? And how big of a deal would it be to miss out on this? Would it be possible to earn a scholarship during freshmen year to be able to go on the cruise?

If you DOR or fail do you just get put in another community?

Thank you. I am still deciding on what field I would like to pursue and am looking at all options, but my downfall is sort of a lack of motivation when it comes to STEM. Just not all that into it. So would say to focus more on the physical training aspect of it especially swimming?

Would majoring in a STEM field be helpful for the academic part of it or will it not matter because they teach everything there that they want you to know?

Does anyone have any insight into being selected to EOD out of NROTC? I was wondering how competitive it is and also how difficult the academic training for it is. Is it very STEM heavy? Does your major matter when going into EOD as in if you majored in, for example, chemistry or physics, would...

Congrats! Still waiting to hear back.

Well I'm hoping LREC because although I wouldn't necessarily mind doing a tier 2 major, I think I would excel and do much better in LREC or just majoring in a language in general. Would I just have to do the tier 2 major if that's what I am selected for? I don't like the idea of being that guy...

I emailed NSTC and said I was interested in being considered for LREC and they said it was added to my package. They then asked for my major if I were to be selected for LREC and I told them I would be interested in doing Chinese, Spanish, or Arabic along with international affairs. The one...

Thank you for the encouragement, and I haven't gotten denied yet so there may be some slim chance that I do get it. But what would you say my chances of picking up a side load as a tier 3 would be?

So I am currently waiting to hear back if I have been selected or not. I originally chose a tier 2 major partly out of interest, partly out of the higher selection chance. After a while, I realized that I actually wanted to do language and LREC much more and I would be much happier doing that so...
