When my son applied for NROTC, he was told that tattoos are an immediate disqualification.

Good questions. In addition to online, I think that my DS may have received a letter via email or snail-mail. After accepting the scholarship, we contacted the Chief Master Sargent who is the senior enlisted person for our recruiting district. He was more than happy to come to our local high...

I've mentioned this before. George Washington's room and board is about $13,000 per year. ROTC scholarship recipients receive an $8,000 discount. Paying only $5,000 per year for GWU is amazing!

All, my DS was informed by his commanding officer that the Navy will not pay for his summer school class since he needs to take it due to a change in major. So, we will pay for the class from his 529. When looking at the overall picture, not a big deal, but this is something to keep in mind if...

When my DS applied for NROTC last year, I seem to remember that his recruiter said something like 20,000-22,000 people start the application process, about 2,300 scholarships are offered, and less than 1,500 end up accepting of which about 250-300 are Marine option. Can somebody please confirm this?

My DS found out that his Summer Cruise is out of San Diego. I asked if Dear Old Dad could fit in his bag. He just smiled and shook his head, no. Does anybody know if the Summer Cruise compensation has changed since this thread started back in 2013?

Ikasaru7, my DS just changed from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 during his 1st semester freshman year. He ran it by his Commanding Officer before filing some paperwork. It got approved very quickly. He could not be happier with his new major.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I'll discuss it with my DS.

My DS, who has a Naval ROTC scholarship, recently changed his major from Tier 1 to Tier 2 which was approved by the Navy. In order to catch up with everybody else in his new major and so that he can finish in 4 years, he needs to take 1-2 classes this summer after his Summer Cruise. Does anybody...

Yup

Someone at GWU started an Incoming Freshman Facebook page last spring. Via Facebook, my DS arranged to room with a fellow Midshipman and two non-NROTC freshmen in a quad. They are all engineers which has worked out well.

My DS is on scholarship at GW. He receives $4k per semester in R&B discounts. This knocks the roughly $13k annual bill down to $5k which is very reasonable.

Jeepman, please keep in mind that this info is from 2016 for the 2017-2018 school year. My DS had a 730 Math and 660 English along with a 3.95 GPA and Tier-1 major. In addition, he was a 4 year letter winner, 2x Team Captain, and played club sports for 12 years. He submitted his application in...

Hi, I am new to this forum and would like to personally thank everybody for giving us so much helpful information last year when my DS was going through the NROTC application process. Ex.BT.USN, my DS is on scholarship at GW, and he absolutely loves the whole experience. Not only is the school...
