    EOD after NROTC

    They are probably going to take 7 this year. You need to be running an 8:30, 100+ pushups and situps, 20 pull-ups, and an 8:30 swim. Gotta be comfortable in the pool too.

If anyone knows how the...

    New Student Indoctrination and unit arrival questions NROTC NSI

    1. When I went, I ended up spending about $10. They take all of the candidates to the NEX(navy exchange) and you have the option to buy toiletries. They just say $300 to be precautious. Everything your son will wear at NSI will be issued for keeps. He will not have to pay for the uniform items...

    NROTC Major Tier weight

    Good Morning, does anyone know how each tier is weighted when it comes to commissioning score? I asked my company officer and he wasn’t much help. For example, would tier 1 get a multiplier, tier 2 stay the same, and tier 3 have a decreasing effect? If so, what are the specific weights on each...

    Poor Grade

    Congrats in the straight A's! Very Impressive. I'm in NROTC, and I told my company officer(cadre) about a C in calculus even though I have a 3.5. I'm not sure how your units environment is, but I would encourage letting them know

I Respect this women for her choice and seems like someone who would’ve made a great officer. Sad to see her go A lot of the the things she mentioned as “ostracization” seemed moreso like...

    To reapply or not to reapply

    4/C mid in NROTC here. Absolutely loving it. Great friends, great, small, close-knit unit. Doing a varsity sport, life's good. But I still have that itch. Not to leave NROTC, but the itch to go to the academy. I want to fly. I want to go to Pensacola really, really bad. I've heard that if you...

    Intentionally Not Getting an EA for AFROTC

    I don’t know anything, so take it worth a grain of salt. I feel like you’d be better off betting on yourself, getting EA for summer training, then working hard to earn that flight slot. Sometimes you have to prove to yourself that the only way is through, not around It’s not my life though, and...

    NROTC more strict than AROTC?

    First, I would like to say that I mean this with the absolute highest respect. I just want to share my personal experience and see if it is experienced by others. Every branch of the military requires a great amount of dedication that I have no yet experienced. I am a 4/C midshipman, fresh out...

    Is the "Quadrivalent Meningitis Vaccine" required for NROTC NSI the same thing as the Meningococcal vaccine? I cannot find any way to get the "Quadrivalent Meningitis Vaccine", as it's not offered where I have looked.

    USAFA vs DUKE Rotc?

    USAF just cut an extremely large amount of AFROTC cadets going into their junior year because of a lack of retirements and budget. 10 out of 18 Yale cadets lost their scholarship and their path to commission. This was out of their control. Many had straight A's, good PT, etc... If you want a...
