    Transfer of DoDMERB medical qualification

    You will not need to transfer it to Virginia Tech until you are considered for a National Scholarship. You can send it to the unit and they will keep it on file so you do not have to go through the process again.

    How long does it take for a ROTC 4 year scholarship to transfer between schools?

    It will get approved. Just give it a day or two.

    Waiting Game

    Yes, VMI is all military, but that will not better prepare you for the career in the military. The amount of military that VT offers will prepare you to the same standard that VMI prepares you. VT is just enough military so that it does not feel overboard. Plus, in the fleet, you work until COB...

    Waiting Game

    Do not go to VMI. I go to VA Tech right now. I have a couple friends at VMI that wish they went here instead of VMI. VMI is a depressing place. At Virginia Tech, we are able to be with civilians and live pretty normal lives outside of the corps.

    4 year ROTC Scholarship- Army vs Navy

    It is very rare that Navy ROTC graduates officers that are not in an unrestricted line community. (SWO, Nuke, Aviation, SEAL). That being said, it is very possible to go to AROTC and be a JAG officer. NROTC does not commission Jag officers, they can but it is extremely rare.

    NROTC-MO - RIT v. VT

    This is correct. VT rats basically have one job, GET GOOD GRADES. This is especially difficult if one is going into a STEM major. Classes like Calc 1, Calc 2, Gen Chem, and Physics are easy ways to tank your GPA if not taken seriously. I worked hard enough to get a good GPA in my first...

    NROTC-MO - RIT v. VT

    Finally, a perfect forum for me, I am a current MIDN in the NROTC unit here at VT. I am looking out my window at Blacksburg as I write this! I am also a Chemistry major. I was just picked up at the national board for a 4-year a couple of weeks ago. The NROTC program here is bar none. We have...

    Arotc to nrotc-mo

    Hey there, I am currently in the NROTC program at VT. In my opinion, I would join the NROTC College Program and try to pick up a sideload scholarship. VT has the best NROTC Unit in the country, plus, we had 5 freshman get picked up on the sideload board a couple of weeks ago. It is very doable...

    How much sleep does an average SMC cadet get?

    So, If you are looking for some boots that would be good, I would get danner tachyon boots, they look pretty similar to the issue boots. If you are AROTC/NROTC-MO, definitely get Danner Tachyon boots. (More support and firmness needed for rucking) If you are NROTC/AFROTC, get Oakley Light...

    NROTC-MO vs AROTC

    I am a current 4/C MIDN at Virginia Tech. I am in navy but i do know how the marine option scholarship works. First off, congratulations on both of your scholarships. The big question is, what are you more focused on, civilian life outside the military, or life in the military. If you are...

    Current NROTC 4/C mid for any questions y'all have!

    I got a 1210 SAT, and I received a scholarship. Think of the SAT/ACT as a checkbox. If you have the minimum the box gets checked. 1210 is horrible compared to other scholarship MIDN, but I got a scholarship.

    If appointment is not received, what's the best way to pursue ROTC?

    I am probably a little bias to Virginia Tech, considering that I am here right now. If your DS decides to come to Virginia Tech, he will absolutely love it. If he decides to come here he will have to be in the Corps of Cadets, which is a great program that prepares cadets for their...
