There were very few cross-admits between SAs and HYP this year. It is a fallacy that SA matriculates are turning down Ivies in droves. It might make you mad to hear that - but it's better to draw conclusions based on actual outcomes. I have yet to meet or hear of an (N,A,AF)ROTC student at...

Your son should be proud. Thank him for me

I was just talking to a mid who is concerned about a "draft" at USNA for subs. I don't know of any similar practices within NROTC for filling sub slots at service selection time. That may a consideration for your son.

Amazingly, ROTC students from College U also have jobs waiting for them upon graduation.

It was a TWENTY pounder! Flat-rate, of course. :shake:

GULP :eek: High-calorie box going out tomorrow!

If you or your child have done Ranger Challenge please offer your insight. When and where is it this year? Is it a national event or are there regional events? What events are in the competition? Do participants compete in every event or just their best ones? Are spectators...

Thanks, Luigi, for posting that page. I forwarded the link to people I know will appreciate it, as well.

While randomly looking through Duke's website to get a sense of the university I found this interesting page. http://undergraduatedean.duke.edu/2009/08/duke-rotc-featured-in-army-video/ Follow Duke's link after that. Duke seems pleased to be the university chosen to be highlighted in this...

Geez, Pima. Good posts as always! :smile: Especially that advice. Just to clarify. For ROTC - it's 4 active and 4 reserve isn't it? 8 from winging for naval aviators - all active? I don't know what the sub commitment is. Is that correct?

Vanderbilt offered an additional $3000 towards room and board for (N)ROTC scholarship recipients this past year (2009).

Welcome! From your screen name I'm guessing you are (or represent) the PMS at Cornell. I'm glad you're here. What a valuable asset to students and parents who are interested in ROTC at Cornell.

NROTCDAD55 In my humble opinion your NROTC strategy is sound. The units at elite universities rarely fill to capacity. We just went through this again this past year. If they do then your daughter would be able to pick up her scholarship with the help of her unit at mid -year. NROTC...

Cycling - you HAVE been awarded the scholarship so definitely mention it. Most students are eventually successful in getting the scholarship transferred. Even if it is after they matriculate. I just feel like mentioning this to the NROTC scholarship recipients. The Navy generally takes a...

Holy Cross NEAR Boston? There fixed it. Holy Cross NROTC is cross-town to BU. Take it away, Bruno.

Holy Cross in Boston? It's a cross-town affiliate of Boston University so you'd be traveling much of the time to BU for your ROTC classes. Are you interested in ROTC, NROTC or AFROTC?

Yes, many mids/cadets do participate in sports. In some units your team practice can substitute for mandatory PT during your sports season. You should check the units that interest you to see how they handle it.

Not a rumor and the big ceremonial check is very cool. I have seen AROTC and NROTC presentations at high schools that have been well done. Our high school has a senior awards ceremony where the presentation is done. You can ask your guidance office or principal's office to include your very...

s1732- Is your son the only NROTC student from the cross-town affiliate for the whole unit or just the only one in the incoming freshman class? Either way, be ready to communicate lots of support. Congrats to your son for the scholarship! The Navy is fortunate to have him.

That kind of internal friction among officers sounds alarming when considering the military and security threats facing our armed services and country. I have to point this out to my younger kids all the time... Saying something good about one entity doesn't not tacitly equal saying...
