I am doing a lot better, thank you! And I don’t, I’m sorry[emoji22] But there is some pictures up on the Naval Reserves Officer Training Corps Facebook page (that is the name of their Facebook page as well) so maybe he’s in one of those!

Thank you everyone for your kind words, they truly mean a lot. To agree with a previous comment here, learn the knowledge before arrival! It is not some big secret, you can find this knowledge anywhere and will definitely have learned it in your NROTC units coming up. By knowledge, the main...

Also: for those of you flying in, bring a pair of night clothes to sleep in the night you get to NSI along with another pair of normal clothes & extra undergarments. No one in cycle 1 was informed of this and therefore most of us went to bed in jeans (ur also not allowed to shower the first...

Update for my case on NSI. I was attending cycle 1 of NSI. Long story short: a few hours after being at NSI i had a freak medical emergency and was rushed to the hospital. I was there for 3 days before being medically disqualified at NSI and dropped. They sent me and 3 other people (all...

T-minus a few hours until my flight to NSI. Still unclear about many things, but hopefully I have everything. This forum has been very helpful in coordinating information that wasn't shared to everyone, so thank you everyone! I plan to make a thread to go into detail about NSI and what to bring...

One problem for me is that I got a new eye prescription and haven't gotten glasses yet, and of course now it is too late. Hopefully I can use my contacts at NSI...

Just received a expedited envelope from FedEx today containing my NSI orders, travel voucher, and flight itinerary today. The packing list I received is still vague, but I'll paste it below. BE SURE TO BRING THE FOLLOWING: Valid Photo ID *ORDERS – Original and five copies *Travel...

Jacksonville Univ. candidate here. I got my flight itinerary and a vague packing list and thats about it. Anyone have any more information on if this cancellation is bigger than OSU?

Do you know where she heard it from? I haven't heard anything from my unit coordinator.

For some reason the PM feature isn’t working so i figured I’d post here. Hey, I’m Abby! I saw that you are attending NSI cycle 1 and was wondering what all you know of what to bring/expect? Also It’d be nice to know some people before I got there!

1 c/m gave me the advice that we should show up with knowledge on Navy AND Marine Corps rank structure and the general orders!

I was awarded the 4 year NROTC MO Scholarship and I am out here looking for any more information on what to expect for the upcoming New Student Indoctrination. I have been assigned to the first cycle (July 2-22). My assigned school is the University of North Florida, but my NROTC Unit is through...

I will be attending the first cycle (July 2-22). My school is Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, FL. Anyone else in first cycle?

How hard is it for incoming NROTC Midshipmen with no prior ROTC knowledge to learn the ropes of drill, etc.?

Thank you very much! And I completely agree, I'm not sure what really got me chosen for the scholarship- but I am beyond grateful for whatever it was! And I see what you mean about the DEP, but personally I was going to go into the Marine Corps either way because it is what I really want. I...

Thanks! And I did consider it vaguely. I am going to see how my first year on the scholarship plays out. If I decide to switch schools than I can always put in a request. Thanks for the recommendation!

As I have come to learn from this process of also having to go to DODMERB for my NROTC scholarship- you are kind of on your own and have to do a lot of things yourself. For me, I had to create my DODMERB account to initiate any paper work or appointment (I did not get anything in the mail). I...

I had double inguinal hernias since I was born and got them repaired when I was a kid (around 2007). The surgery was successful and had no complications at all. I was worried this would DQ me but all the MEPS and DODMERB asked was if I had any complications. I think as long as a doctor has...

I was a recipient of the 2019 nrotc marine option 4 year scholarship. I was awarded the scholarship during the second board review in March 2019. I was declined for the first board that takes place around late November - early December. This post will be for information that I wish I knew while...

I just got my results from my Staff Sergeant!! I got the 4 year NROTC Marine Corps Option Scholarship!! I will be attending UNF (University of North Florida) in the fall. I’m so excited and grateful for this opportunity. If you’re wondering my stats are: (17 year old female in Florida)...
