I am a 4/c navy option midshipman and I am having second guesses about my mechanical engineering major. I am decent at the math, but am not particularly drawn into the upper division topics (statics, materials, thermals, blech). My reasons for choosing the major are more extrinsic and related...

I am currently an engineering major with a very heavy course load, and, based on my performance thus far, it is looking like I will be able to get an extension on my scholarship for a fifth year. If I keep up the rigorous schedule, and start doing summer classes, then I would actually be able to...

I will be enrolling in NROTC in the fall with the hopes of one day becoming a fighter pilot. Flying jets is my biggest motivation, but, I chose the Navy because, put simply, I would prefer working elsewear in the Navy than in the Air Force, and because I have an all around better impression of...

Thanks for the response OS. Transferring is definitely possible, though not a sure bet by any means, even with good grades. What I'm really wondering is how a scholarship would be involved in the transfer process. I also like the idea of going to the state school for four years and getting my...

Hi all, I'm a high school senior and I'm looking for some advice on what's options I have for the next four years. At the beginning of this year, I has planned on getting an NROTC scholarship at a fairly elite private university. Things didn't go as planned, I actually didn't even apply...

Thanks for the response! I do wish the military was a little bit more predictable. My biggest fear is passing up ROTC (a nearly sure path to commissioning) in favor of enlisting without ever getting commissioned. I find it odd that almost anyone who does ROTC in college is deemed fit to lead...

I'm a highschooler planning on doing NROTC, but considering other paths to a commission. Can anyone tell me about what it's like enlisting out of high school, and getting a degree from USNA or another school while in the Navy? If I were to enlist, it would be with the intention of becoming an...

Thanks for the answers! I do understand that I'm somewhat at the disposal of the navy regarding where I'm assigned. I do anticipate, however, that with a degree and interest in aerospace engineering, I'd be able to get a job doing that at some point, even if it's not right away. If the navy pays...

Hi everyone, I'm a high schooler planning on going into NRTOC, and I'm looking for some guidance regarding aerospace engineering in the Navy. I'd like to go into aviation after college, preferably as a pilot, or as an Aerospace engineer. The obvious thing to do would be to get a bachelor's...
