Can you provide a bit more detail on your “work” cruises? What do you actually do on the ship on a daily basis? How many actual days on the ship each time you go? What is the salary range? What do you do with your days when not not on a cruise? I’m quite fascinated with all the hidden gem...

Regarding this topic- https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Porta...023/NAV23303.txt?ver=p-DNPlgsb3SxsZsWwnYCfQ== My son is in subs. I thought it was 5 years ADSO from the commission date (which is same as graduation date) and then remaining years in IRR. No??

But the service commitment clock starts immediately after graduation, correct?

Thank you. I did do the google search, per your suggestion. Thank you for your helpful guidance.

Update- Spoke with the unit. According to them, since my son is within 12 months of graduating he can’t just drop out and pay it all back, he has 2 options and it must be decided by as far up as the Secretary of the Navy- recoupment or enlistment (non officer). The unit made some calls to the...

Thank you all for your responses. You have been most helpful.

My son will be a senior in college this September. He is currently on a 4 year NROTC scholarship. After almost a year of continuous deliberation, he has finally decided he wants to withdraw from the program. As the parents, we will support him by paying the money back to the Navy. He already...

Question- the above answer you provided was from 2016. Is it still the norm today for the 5 years AD to he fulfilled and then proceeding directly to IRR vs regular Reserve obligations for the remaining 3 years?

100% agree with all you say. In fact, all that you said applies to life, in general. I’m hoping others might be able to jump in with anecdotal info, as well. I really appreciate your insight and thought-full answer. Here’s a separate question for you- assuming that 5 years commitment is the...

My son and I were looking for more of the unofficial stuff like quality of life; the good, bad and uglies?? SWO vs SWO(N) ? Stuff like this.

Thank you and OldRetSwo! Still no succes but I appreciate your efforts.

Thank you. Tried both numbers you gave. Failed. Can anyone on sailorbob or someone who’s recently registered, talk me through the registration? It shouldn’t be this difficult.

Hello. my son is in the NROTC. We were looking for more gouge and some sites mentioned sailorbob as a good source of SWO info. the registration site is asking for a 4 digit SWO designator that matches his rank of midn. Anyone know what this is? Thanks

Congrats. Thanks for the updated info. Generally speaking, did most pass the test? Wondering what the pass rate was. Also, do you have an estimate on how many volunteered to leave early? I’m on a parent FB group and it’s some crazy numbers they’re quoting which makes me think it’s not accurate.

Where can we obtain this knowledge book? Thank you.

Ok. My son will be at the 2nd NSI. I’m sure they will be meeting each other when school starts. ;)

Hi. We are from the Pasadena area. Is he going to the first or 2nd NSI?

Instructions say to bring one set of clothing. Is this saying they want an additional set of clothing apart from what my son is wearing? What clothing is appropriate? Long pants and collared shirt? Shorts? Tees? Also, My son wears glasses. Anyone have a recommendation on bands that will hold...

when it comes to MOC nominations, how do you know if you “won the slate” and what does that actually mean? Thank you.

My son received a scholarship. Sent an email to Brown NROTC and haven’t heard anything back. Other schools replied saying that they would notify the school admissions department of his pending school application and his nrotc scholarship. Is there a specific person we should reach out to? Brown...
