We heard the same.

I don't want to discourage anyone from studying hard for the SAT, but please keep in mind that it is just one component. Our DS had a lower math score than anything listed above, but he was very solid in every other area, had an excellent math letter of rec from his math teacher, did well in his...

This is one of the sweetest posts I've ever read. What a beautiful offer, and I hope this plebe takes you up on it.

Thank you! He's home now. What an experience! He's more committed than ever to the Navy, but yes had a pretty bad cough for the first few days as others have said.

I don't think you can send letters. I think that's only for recruits.

No luck seeing our son in the pics either. But only three days to go!

Thank you! 🙏🏽

That's a great tip! I didn't know there was an NROTC Facebook page. Heading over there now.

This is very beautiful, Captain MJ; thank you. We have very full creative work lives - and we have a 14-year old son still at home (yay!) - and we'll continue to focus our energy there. What I know for sure is that DS doesn't want us to worry. He said to us multiple times before he left: "Just...

This is really helpful; thank you. I'm grateful for the support and for the "warmup" :).

Our son left early this morning for NSI phase 1. We're very excited for him and proud of him, but it's also a bit hard to let him go for nearly three weeks without any contact or sense of how things are going. I know that "no news is good news" but, oof, 18 days is a long time. I've talked to a...

Thank you so much! We're usually pretty good about tracking down information like that but for some reason we missed it. This forum is amazing :). Your DD is lucky that she'll be with Captain Meyers for the next four years :).

I'm in the same boat. DS attending cycle 1 of NSI. We're in Colorado and trying to decide if it's worth it to make the trek or, as Captain Meyers, says, wait for NSO and put the time, money, and effort into that trek since we'll be bringing him to college anyway. But it sounds like not all units...

How do I add to this box?!?

I've been wanting to share our story for a while in case it helps anyone who is in a current application process. We learned a lot from our experience and I would like to share what we learned. First off, congratulations on considering applying for ROTC! Our son was set on NROTC, so I'll be...

Our son sent in NSI packet two weeks ago. Should we be concerned that he hasn’t received placement yet? He emailed to make sure it was received but he hasn’t heard back.

Thank you so much. Very helpful. I’ve been searching for NSI threads in this forum and not finding any. If you happen to have those threads handy we’d love to read more. Again, thank you.

We've read in several places to "run run run" as a way to prepare physically for NSI. Is it best to run distance, and if so what is the ideal number of miles? Or is better to run short and fast like for the CFA? Or both. Thanks -

Same with our son. We met with two very kind lieutenants in person on Monday and they confirmed that this is the case. Plus they seemed generous with flights, including NSI for family if we want to attend graduation (if I understood that correctly).
