    NROTC-MO Interview Follow-up

    Just tell your son to let them know respectfully but firmly that he is only interested in NROTC (if that's what he wants). My recruiters were a great support system during my application and I can't imagine what could've happened if I burned that bridge. If he wants to really be liked he can...

    Guidance sought

    1) You can update as much as you want after you submit the online portion (my coordinator gave me a "due date" before the board so he would have plenty of time to get my package together to present.) Personally, I gave a paper copy of my score to my recruiter, but you can send it in through...

    Interview Question: What were the last three books you read?

    I didn't personally get it, but one of my friends was asked a similar question during her congressional interview for the academy.

    Strategy for When to Submit Application -NROTC Marine Option

    Cannot stress how important it is to have a good relationship with your recruiters (mine are great and I sometimes take that for granted). The applicant does the work but recruiters get some pretty important paperwork through to the board. I had a great relationship with my coordinator and my...

    AMI went away??

    I was sent a correspondence by DoDMERB requesting an AMI for a pulse reading (my pulse was a little high but still in normal range for my medical exam). I tried to schedule the exam with my medical place but they said they needed an authorization to schedule the exam, so I emailed DoDMERB and...

    ASTB Study Guide Recommendations

    I was looking into ASTB stuff just to get familiar with the questions. A good one that I found on Amazon was the Trivium version, it's got two practice tests in them, and a good overview and explanation for each of the sections. I also found Peterson's "Master the Military Flight Aptitude Tests...

    Dressing for interview

    What is recommended for females to wear for the interview? I definitely don’t have the wardrobe/time for a dress, and am leaning more towards khakis. However, I’m not completely sure what to do for shirt and shoes. Most people will say a button down but does this mean like a full down button...

    Pool Validation?

    My body literally failed at 80! I was so confused/surprised that it would be the crunches that brought down my score

    Pool Validation?

    Actually I have not. Originally, they told me my supervisor was the XO at RSS Columbia. She has called me and we have had prior contact, however, I have emailed her with questions about the different forms that I have to fill out but I’ve haven’t gotten a response. When I asked my recruiter...

    Pool Validation?

    I did 8 pullups, 80 crunches, and a 24:24 run. Overall a little disappointing (however the PR for pullups was great). I was shocked to not be able to max the crunches but it was honestly my fault because I was practicing with my hands in the wrong positions (on shoulders rather than bicep). I...

    Interview Help for MO NROTC

    I am moving along in my MO NROTC application (I am taking my first PFT next week) and I’ve been wondering about the interview. What is it like? Do I have to carry the conversation with my own talking points and the officer just listen or is it more of a question answer type thing? Can my local...

    Covering Room and Board at VMI

    I saw a thread on here from about a year ago talking about the 4 year NROTC scholarship not covering room and board at VMI. With the room and board being almost $10,000 I am trying to come up with options (other than FASFA) that can help cover that if I am awarded the National scholarship. What...

    NROTC MO Board Question

    Thank you! I have been working towards getting a good PFT (I'm shooting for the 280-300 because I know I can do it), the pull-up max for females is relatively achievable for me but I still need to put in some work. The only thing that I need to work really really hard at is the run. The max is...

    NROTC MO Board Question

    I have recently opened my application (now finished and stressing over my essays), and I have been scrolling around these forums and seen a lot about the Review Boards. Any insight on how they work? I am really familiar with the boards for USNA but not sure how the ROTC side works. Do they make...
