My DD swore-in and signed a contract for PLC on 15 NOV 23 and has been telling me all along that she was going to Quantico for 6 weeks this summer. Yesterday I come home and she is over-the-moon excited because her OSO called her and told her she got selected by a board to attend the PLC session...

She does like Korean food...will do!

Update: My DD signed her contract and swore in for PLC a couple weeks ago. Happy for her! She will go to the first 6 week training phase Summer 2024.

have you contracted yet? just curious because my DD is about the same scenario...she has been to MEPS taken her PFT, submitted the application and waiting to sign/contract.

A co-worker's son is about to have his nomination interviews and she told me her son is planning on wearing his JROTC uniform to the interviews. Is this a good idea?

Just speculating here but it sounds like there was much more going on...in fact you sound a lot like a kid that went to the Citadel and got kicked out for undisclosed autism then went to Norwich this fall and got kicked out for the same reason. You cite a single statement that got you booted but...

Is there a limit to when they can wake them up? Getting a bit worried about sleep deprivation while she is engaged in academics. I'm being told that on several occasions she has had to get up at 0400 or 0430. I thought 0530 was the earliest they could get them up.

Same here...communications have really diminished. We get a 10 min call on Sunday and that's it. We made a point to ask her to at least check her email and give a short reply to let us know she saw it. She says she is so busy she is getting to-go meals twice a day. Says she is a Rook PSG (some...

I'll be curious to hear what my DD has to say at the weekly phone call this week. I know the INDOC for the clubs end today...she went for the Cold Weather Mountain Club and haven't heard a peep from her all week. So my questions will be about classes and clubs.

My DD is doing alright, she voiced some frustration after the first week about the Cadre and the seemingly pointless extended yelling for no reason but I reminded her that there is a reason even if the reason is just for them to tolerate without knowing a reason. He roomate quit and she got a...

Our DD attended FLC last summer and thought about returning as a cadre Cpl. this summer but the $$ and being so close to starting rookdom she figured she would get her fill of it soon enough. She did love FLC and I agree that a taste of that will likely be helpful. We had planned on bringing...

I called when the iPad didn't arrive in March as stated on the website and they said that the student would get it if they went to an accepted student event otherwise they would get it when they arrived for the fall semester. They are not mailing them this year. I do have some packing list...

My DD will be in the Corps of Cadets and will be choosing the Navy/Marine ROTC battalion but doesn't yet have a service scholarship. Exploring PLC and the 3 year NROTC scholarship. She will play club hockey also. Excited for her...went shopping last night trying to finish out the packing list!

I would think that letting the NU ROO know that VMI offered him a ROTC scholarship but he wants to attend Norwich should reflect well on him. On the Navy/MO side of things Norwich evaluates freshman applicants after the 1st semester for school based NROTC scholarships...kind of a "prove it"...

I have lectured my DD about what is going to be expected of her in the Marines and how woefully unprepared she currently is and how bad her habits are and she says...well obviously Dad! I'm not a Marine yet, if I was then I would be all those things, so that's why I'm going. Then my wife...

I read the application (as did my DD) and we selected that we were not interested in attending an MSISR school primarily because she is not in any minority group/classification but it did make me wonder...do you have to be a minority to get that scholarship or just willing to go to one of those...

Could you minor in SWAP at Norwich? My DD is a Biology major right now but is interested in the SWAP program as well. She eventually would like a career in medicine but wants to commission after Norwich for at least 4 years. I guess she could major in SWAP and minor in Biology or Health Sciences...

So..I get drilling with the NH unit every month while in school but what about the summer months? Would you fly from Indiana every month and would your 2 weeks AT interfere with your schooling at NU? We looked at that route and the logistics of it made my head hurt. I could see it making sense...

I kind of figured that was the case with the EGA...I told her you have to earn it first.

Michael, thanks so much for answering questions. My DD is going to be a rook this fall. I have so many questions. The rook packing list looks like we are going to need a U-haul but the vibe of the whole arrival day sounds minimalist. 1. Can you describe what rook arrival is like? For instance...
