This may not be the best place to post this but ill try it anyways. Is it difficult to get a Coast Guard (third mate) license (like the equivalent of going to a maritime college) by not going to college? Like if i enlisted in the navy, than after i got out, would it be difficult? Just curious

I'm starting the nomination process a bit late, but have a few questions/concerns. 1. Is there any penalty to doing it this late? A lot of my congressmen have a deadline (usually late oct, early nov) for nomination applications. Does it matter WHEN you send it in as long as its by this...

Decided to just make a broad topic so i can add any future questions here instead of making more topics. I submitted my online application and "Assistant NROTC Coordinator" sent me the forms to sign and email back to him. How do i set up an rotc interview? I tried looking on VMI's...

Im stuck between two choices for my other recommendation. My first one is my SNSI for my NJROTC unit. He is a retired Navy commander. My relationship with him is good (better than most cadets. Most cadets prefer the other instructor, who is far less strict and much more..."fun". Im one...

Hello everybody. Ive decided that i am going to apply early decision to VMI this coming fall. I do have just a few questions Is there any data on how many apply ED, and how many are accepted (GPA, SAT Scores, ect). Do you have to declare a major on the application? Are you still...

Alright. Little ticked off here, but ill give say my opinions straight and to the point. I tried to call USMMA to schedule a time to come visit and tour the campus. This spring break was going to be the main time for visiting the few colleges i wanted to visit, a lot of which were in new...

So in a few days i have an interview with my jrotc instructers for possible leadership positions. I am applying mainly for the administrative department head, a very important job to the unit that requires a lot of extra work. I feel like i could do well in that position. Our unit also...

i am currently a junior looking to attend the merchant marine academy after highschool. Im keeping my grades up (had a 3.5 gpa at the end of last year, but my grades have been better this year so it is most likely higher) recieving a few leadership positions (co captain of our schools debate...

I havent come across it on their website yet, so im a bit unsure. a definite answer would be helpful! Thanks!

Quick question. Say i failed to get into USMMA and decided to do the prep program at NMMI. Following that i get good grades/ect, Am i gurranteed an appointment? Is that only if USMMA sends you there or if you choose to go there or both? I would need to get another nomination, correct? Thanks!

Quick question for you folks. Can you request A nomination to the United States Merchant Marine Academy from a representative from ANY of the congressional districts? Or just your own? Im from Virginia. Does that mean ill have 13 (11 representatives + 2 senators) to request nominations...

Sorry if this isnt in the right forum, but i figured this was the best place for it. Im currently a junior in high school. I pretty much have two different career fields im incredibly interested in and want to pursue. Navy/Merchant Marine and Law. I am just curious how they pick the...

Just curious. Thanks.

Havent posted an introduction topic yet. I reign from Northern VA. Cadet of NJROTC. Junior in high school. USMMA hopefully? If not, deffiently one of the Maritime Colleges (Maine and SUNY at the top of my list). It's good to be here!

Are they per school? Like, If i am lucky enough to recieve a NROTC scholarship, can i use it for any school i get into (that has a NROTC unit of course), or is it binded with a specific school?

If i attended the USMMA, than commissioned as an officer, whenever i came out of the service, how difficult would it be to find a job as a merchant marine (deck license)?

So a few months back i had my eye on the Naval Academy. But i guess i knew all along that im in this for the ocean, not for the military. I want to go into the navy, but when im out of it (however long that may be), i dont want some desk job. I want to continue working on ships and such. I had...

Im just starting as a junior in high school, and after looking at SUNY Maritime, i believe that is really where i want to go. I'm asking for both how i look to getting in to the college, and how i look for a Navy ROTC Scholarship GPA - 3.45 Doing Junior Navy ROTC (transferred high...
