DS has applied to USNA. DS has applied for NROTC scholarship. DS has been admitted to 4 out of 5 of his schools - the other one pending. I know I've read advice on here about putting down deposits at some of these schools to prepare for plans B,C,D, etc. Can someone brief me again on what...

Can you all tell us how the NROTC CGO office works? ds sent them a message on the NROTC page link to look over his application prior to submission as we've read to do on here. Its been about a week now and he hasn't had any communication back from them. In your experience, how does this...

Ok, ds is filling out the NROTC app. He has five schools chosen, and as most of you know, the app requires him to indicate at which of the five he can get instate tuition. One of his five is TAMU where he knows he can get instate tuition- he was given a scholarship at JCAP that indicated this...

We will be staying with family up 'til NASS and wanted to stay another night just by ourselves after we drop off ds for NASS, but need a rental car to use to get us from Annapolis to BWI airport later. Are there rental companies that have cars available IN Annapolis? I can't seem to find any...

the email came to ds yesterday to "order" sizes for tshirts, pants, etc. for NASS. they are listed as unisex sizes. If you went to NASS last year, can you please tell us if the sweat pants and shorts have working drawstrings? in one of the recent NASS youtube videos, you can see the kids...

ds had a "left medial distal femur osteochondroma" removed by outpatient surgery when he was 14. there was no evidence of other osteochondromas which might indicate osteochondromatosis - which is listed as a disqualifying condition on the dodmerb list. first of all, has anyone experienced...

if you were accepted to NASS lately, have you tried to access the instructions and forms on their website to complete the enrollment? the website let us pay this morning, but we still can't get the links to the instructions and the required forms to work. is it just our computer/browser?

If ds puts week one down as preference for both NASS and west POint's SLE, will he have opportunity time wise to decline either one after hearing about acceptance to the other? in other words (cause I'm not very good explaining sometimes...)He can only go to either one 1-6 June 2013. the...

the USNA website says it opens on Jan 17 2013. I have re-read old threads on here and it appears that there is no essay in this application, is that correct? it asks for specific grades earned in classes, right? any other recollections about this application? ds is at a boarding school and...

DS is a junior. he's sorting through the NROTC units right now as his junior year progresses so he's ready to fill out the app this coming spring. There is a link to a Navy recruiting district, NROTC Scholarship Coordinator on NROTC website for us: Irving TX. (Marine option is in OKC)...

DS is a junior at a math/science high school preparing to fill out NROTC scholarship app this coming spring/summer. We understand the importance of getting the app in early, early. Can you please comment on your knowledge of Colleges that fulfill their NROTC scholarship slots first? or...

DS is home on Thanksgiving break from his math/science boarding school. we have been going through the list of NROTC schools with him - he is intrigued by the dual major of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at UF. Any knowledge of this university/unit?

there are not many options left to buy tickets to watch the game with my husband while our son is attending JCAP, but can anyone make any suggestions on ticket locations? what about field level sideline? is it actually field level? or will we be able to see up above a little? I'd like to...

Our son just completed his online initial entry form for this fall's JCAP at Texas A&M in September. Anyone else on this board have a son or daughter planning to attend? We are very excited!

My son is a sophomore in H.S. He is becoming more and more interested in A&M for college and joining the corps. He is now thinking mainly Navy. The only NROTC school (OU) in Oklahoma is a huge rival to our family's main alma mater (OSU), so son says, "no way am I going to OU, mom!" Thus...

may sound too simplistic, but how does one determine which NROTC programs to consider? we are from a landlocked state, so our son will need to consider many universities that are far away from us (not a problem emotionally, just logistally). are there rankings for quality of NROTC...

hello! I usually lurk around in the USMA section since that is where ds most desires to go in several years (he's a freshman), but we will be vacationing in Maryland in a few weeks and we'd like to tour the Naval Academy. Can you give any advice to us? just a simple tour is great, not...

thought I would introduce myself. I have been reading posts here for a few weeks, trying to wrap my mind around all of this! I am the mother of a son hoping to attend USMA, or if not possible, go the ROTC route either through Texas A&M or Okla State Univ ROTC. He is currently a freshman in...
