When accepting the NROTC scholarship or in the materials received afterward, I remember reading that DD was restricted from applying for more scholarships. I remember because my husband and I had a brief discussion about it, wondering what the possible reasons could be for making that mandate...

Contacted USD, they’re not participating, they’re conducting their own orientation. It’s just a small pilot program at a Great Lakes at this point.

DD is an incoming freshman at USD, NROTC scholarship. We’re stationed overseas now so correspondence is slow to reach us. Anyone know if USD is participating in this Great Lakes training?

If you don’t get the 3 year, set your sights on the 2 year. If you don’t get that aim for College Program advance standing. Keep striving. Everything that goes into that, getting good grades, improving your mind, demonstrating responsibility and leadership, staying fit, will serve you well in...

Thanks for offering to share your experience! What are your recommendations for preparing over the summer, physically and in terms of Navy knowledge, any songs or sayings that should be memorized in advance? What does orientation involve? Tips for balancing school, ROTC, and sports? At your...

There’s definitely no harm in applying. And you definitely should if you want to pursue a career in the Navy. Here’s a list of NROTC Units: http://www.nrotc.navy.mil/colleges_nrotc_unitsXP3.html. You’d stand a better chance of receiving one if you participated in NROTC freshman year as a college...

Haven't read all the posts but will throw in my two-cents. DD left USAFA during BCT. Her dad and I were crushed as it was already part of our identity; we had the t-shirts and bumper stickers, made new best friends with other USAFA parents, scouted out hotels (and bought football and airplane...

To echo Islandmom4, don’t don’t don’t start birth control right before plebe summer. You really need to be in the right place mentally to make it through and starting or changing bc can mess you up. It’s possible to stop your periods with bc so it’s tempting, but not worth it.

Your daughter sounds like future officer material, a smart cookie building a well rounded resume with athletics, service and leadership activities. Believe in her and keep her aimed high mama! Test taking skills can be learned and are important for more than just the SAT. I took a test taking...

Upscope76...DD doesn't recall the timeline of the portal status changes...she submitted the last piece of her NROTC application in mid December and received her email notification 3/14. It was indicated she'd see a decision by mid February so the last month was nerve-racking. Good luck!
