May happen but likely won't help at all. Wouldn't count on it and shouldn't change any of your actions. If your student wants to go to Yale then apply. If they get an NROTC and get Yale great, if they get NROTC but not Yale, the odds are very high it can be moved to the school that accepts your...

Going to speculate on reason, my answer is based on no actual knowledge (like most of my answers 😉) Guessing that Space Force ROTC members are probably attached to other ROTC units (maybe AFROTC). Due to this there aren't stand alone SFROTC that can conduct interviews and instead they are...

USOs usually have walls of them. I enjoy killing time there looking to see who has passed through the USO.

"Women shouldn't be in the military" is the most common obstacle my DD has faced. However she will face this belief in big Army/Navy/Air Force also. As you probably already know with your daughter, smart strong woman have to overcome dumb weak men. Much will depend on the school chosen.

Re: NROTC - I understand there are a handful of Intelligence slots available in the Unrestricted Line category. What is the MIDN process to make yourself eligible/known/selected for one of those slots?

IMO it's about having the opportunity. I would suggest Project GO only because how often in life, military and otherwise, do you get the opportunity to live in another culture for 60 days, traveling, eating, speaking, learning, assessing, etc. Again IMO it makes you a better Global leader and...

If I recall my DDs application I don’t think anything she did in middle school could be used in the actual app. At this age spend more time on deciding if the Military life is what you want as opposed to putting all your efforts into a single school. I’d give that advise to anyone in middle...

Walking around the house my wife asked me, “Have you seen the dog bowl? My response, “No, I didn’t even know he could do that”

My DD was just advised that she was awarded a ProjectGo scholy for this summer in Taiwan (Mandarin Chinese). Very excited and trying to see what summer cruise training fits that schedule.

I live in a congressional district that has hundreds of applicants every year. Statistically speaking, for a family to have multiple generations all receiving admission indicates it does play a part.

When my DD was going into her 4/C year, prior to school the Battalion sent all incoming the emails of all the incoming Mids. They were able to connect on whatever App they use and found dorm mates that way.

Same, we had a regional NROTC Scholarship coordinator but had to take the app to the local recruiter center for a signature. They did nothing but make sure it was complete and signed it. No attempt to recruit my student. However that could have been because they didnt go alone and i was with...

It also depends on the univ. For example my DD attends The George Washington University GWU and it has one of the highest levels of Tier 3 in the country. Mostly due to it being one of the few schools that offers a International Affairs major. There generally it wont matter which tier you...

your best way to ensure a JAG assignment is to get your law degree then join the service.

how about google "schools with Army ROTC"? This forum can help you but it shouldn't be your 1st stop.

Know that your cadre notices when there always seems to be a practice/meeting during the hard/difficult unit PT, Training, meetings. Got to be committed to both even if it is more work.

Regarding female midshipman hair. From my DD her thought has always been to have it normal length and go to the bun in everyday Midn life. But cut it shorter during long trainings. This is because you have so little time and if it's long and in a bun it really never dries between pool time and...

Reading this thread it's no surprise that this virus is kicking back up

My DD is currently out of state(DC). She has friends both in NROTC and in the general univ. She has a lot of social time. However, even when not in uniform, I dont think she believes it would be great to go to far out of standard (hair and nails). Also at least 1 month every summer will be...

This question was asked 10yrs ago on this forum, looking for current answer. "Does the cadet/midn get reimbursed for airfare to the campus for the campus specific NSO in August."
