I was at our DD’s graduation from NSI and what a proud moment it was! Our DD said it was one of the hardest and humbling thing she’s ever done and has been sharing stories of her experiences with us since I picked her up this past Monday. Although it was hard, she was positive about it and...

DD received an email the admin asst that had included a form “Request and Authorization for TdY Travel of DOD Personnel” which in box 8 stated “Type of Orders” - Invitational Travel and box 9 “TDY Purpose” -Training. And then with that same email was her travel itinerary from CWT/SATO.

Got a 60 sec call yesterday from DD. It was way too short. She mainly wanted to know if I was picking her up right after graduation as I am planning on attending or if she needed to ride back with the the group to then airport and as we were talking-she was delaying the message to someone. I was...

Our DD is leaving tomorrow. She didn’t get an exact list that is shown below. Just bits and parts of it. We aren’t sure if she’s allowed to bring her cell phone. Our only worry with that is if her flight changes or she needs to contact her point of contact front be college-if she’s going to have...

Our DD is set to leave tomorrow for NSI. She has her flight confirmed. She is attending NCSU and we visited the NROTC office there about a week ago and sounds like all of their midshipman candidates are going.

DD received the following email listed below and was wondering if anyone else received the same info. My daughter’s high school will be doing sports physicals next week and she was just going to get it done there but now I think we will actually need to go to her primary care doctor since she...

DD got her dates for Great Lakes today. June 30th - July 24th. We're trying to figure out as well if new should attend I Day or Grad day. We live in Virginia so there will be some traveling involved.

Thank you! She's still waiting to hear from Plan A but she is very happy about Plan "A2" and has even said that she will stay with the NROTC program and not reapply to Plan A. I think she understands at this point that it will be the same outcome but just a different path and she is going to...

DD is still waiting as well. Her Plan B with a 4 year NROTC scholarship to her university of choice is now in place. Although I'm sure she will be very disappointed to get the TWE, we have discussed it and she has said that she is completely happy with Plan B and she does understand that it's...

Just wondering if anyone may have any info/insight on this topic that our DD has experienced. Last Friday, her BGO officer called my DH because DD was in school. BGO was trying to follow up and see what was happening with her application. BGO somehow found out that USNA had her application...

Just wanted to give an update! DD was still waiting to hear about admission to the#1 college she received her NROTC scholarship. She contacted the school and explained the situation about the degree she originally chose and the Tier 2 majors she's been given by the NROTC scholarship. They told...

You're welcome! My husband graduated from USNA got his MS while active duty and of course, did not really use his degrees in the 23 years he served. After he retired from the military, he was still "young" enough to start his second career that has helped him transition well into the civilian...

Here is also a great read about the invaluable experience you will get in the military and use it in the civilian world. https://chartwellwest.com/2018/10/17/stupid-and-in-charge-the-anti-fragile-experience-of-the-junior-officer

Thank you for the information. I agree that DD just needs to just call the college and see if she can switch to the College of Sciences program. This is an out of state school and she is already up against odds of getting in as they only take 18% out of state students. I don't know if her...

She is not definitely sure yet about what she specifically wants to major in, but she knows that she does not want to do engineering but more on the science side and is aware that SA and NROTC programs want you to be in some type of STEM major. NROTC awarded her Tier 2 majors because those were...

Yes it's a 4 year NROTC scholarship with Tier 2 Majors. At her college of choice, Tier 1 Majors are basically all engineering courses- Mech, EE, ECE, Nuke, Ocean, etc. Tier 2 has some engineering but mostly general sciences and math. Tier 3 is very vague "whatever is not listed in Tier 1 and...

She was awarded her scholarship 1/23/19.

Her NROTC scholarship was awarded with Tier 2 majors which lists specific majors that she can choose from. Her college lists what they consider Tier 2 majors and the CALS program at the college she applied to only has one that is considered aTier 2 degree which is Agricultural/Biological...

Thank you for responding! I agree that she definitely needs to call admissions office! I'm not sure if her chances are better getting into the CALS program vs the CoS program but the latter will be more have more Tier 2 major options for her. Thanks again and we will see what happens when she...
