I am currently a MIDN 4/C majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I am considering transferring schools because I honestly cannot see myself staying at my current school for another 3 years. I would prefer to transfer to one within my unit's consortium, however, this school does not have an...

I am a 4/C MIDN with the newly created NPP scholarship for NROTC and as im finishing my first year, my staff is still a little confused as to whether I would be attending CORTRAMID or not. NPP Scholarship recipients from my unit were sent to NSI which is only for scholarship MIDN. At least to...

To just get started on the basics and to learn about structure, life, and traditions, I would recommend The Bluejacket's Manual or The Naval Officer's Guide.

Hello.I went to NSI this past summer. Marksmanship training was over the course of 2 days for me. Im not going to give away any specifics, only what I know to be common information that can be looked up. The first day, we received safety briefings on how to use the firearm, what instances cause...

I attended CVW in Nov of 2018 and I didn't get the option to take the CFA at CVW so it might be something new

Hello, I am a college reapplicant and was wondering what GPA I should be aiming for. I know its virtually impossible to get a 4.0 in college but whats the GPA USNA considers "good" for appointment as a college reapplicant. I know that I should be striving for as high as possible but...

Hello, I am a college reapplicant for USNA ‘24 and was wondering how do NROTC Instructors generally feel about a midshipman in NROTC reapplying to USNA and maybe asking them to conduct the CFA for them or write an NROTC nomination form for them? Should I avoid getting the NROTC nomination from...

Hello. I recently graduated from NSI Cycle 1. I think KP1990 perfectly nailed what the experience was. I like that everyone gets baseline training but when we got there, we were told that the next 3 weeks would require teamwork to survive, and then promptly getting chewed out every...

Actually, that was not the case for me. Many people in my company were able to both send and receive mail. I sent a letter home during the 2nd week thinking that I would beat the letter home but it still got there before me.

Just landed in Chicago. Going to try not to get lost and hope the next 3 weeks don’t beat me up too hard :)

Just to clear up something on my mind, I have been seeing that check in for NSI is Tuesday and the flights are obviously on Monday. Are we staying at Great Lakes for Monday night or do we need to get a hotel room for that night?

I applied to both USNA and 4 year Nat Scholarship. Once I received my rejection from both, my JROTC instructor informed me of the NPP Scholarship at Maritime College. I applied that same week before the deadline like 5 days later and now ill be attending Maritime with that scholarship and...

Hello, I am a college reapplicant. I recently submitted my Candidate Activities Record. In the activities record, it only asks for your high school activities (9-12th grade). How would I end up submitting my college activities?

I’m a reapplicant as well. I think it honestly should be different people. If you really can’t think of anyone new, maybe he can volunteer somewhere new for a month or two and the director of the place/organization could write them a letter of recommendation.

So would you recommend me contacting my HS counselor now and getting it done so its not something to worry about later or do you think that they need my final HS GPA or something like that?

Hello. I am a senior in HS and have my candidate portal open. Should I get my HS guidance counselor to fill out my activities record and academic info or wait until college for it?

Hello, I am a college reapplicant and a currently finishing my senior year in hs. I want to get a head start on my application. I am going to start doing my CFAs until im happy with that. I can get my senior teacher recommendations. Aside from those things, could I get my Candidate Academic...

I got my high school guidance counselor to fill it out for me. It should just be the school official that helps you with the college application process and has access to your academic history.
