First off there is nothing wrong with choosing either school, know that. However my personal opinion has to go with VT because of the reputation CoC carries. It is one of the top programs in the country for ROTC. Also, it is a senior military college, which means should your son choose a...

Thanks a lot man you were a huge help. Did you sat you're a cadet now?

Nick4060: Are they upperclassmen now?

Hello all. I will be attending VT CoC in the summer under NROTC. I'm hoping to select SEALS after grad. Anyone else looking to do the same? I'm looking for someone to train with.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I can still take ROTC classes even without the scholarship, right?

While A: I still haven't heard from usna and B: it is early to tell, I'm 99% set on reapplying should I not get in this year. My ultimate goal is to be either a SEAL officer or USMC officer and usna is defintely where i want to end up even if i have to start over again as a freshman. Of course I...

Thanks for the great advice from both. After hearing both your opinions I think VTCC will be my route ase end game is USN officer, preferably SEALS. With that said VTCC will derinitely provide better prep for that route.

As April 15th rapidly approaches I'm beginning to look towards my plan B's. I have a couple questions regarding my plan B's directed towards anyone who might have any knowledge on this subject, primarily the BGO's who scan the forums. My two backups that I'm considering are Virginia Tech and...

Only thing I'd say is easy on the protein. While it is essential to building muscle, you're body can only handle so much at a time. Approximately between 30-35 g of protein after an intense workout is sufficent. Any excess protein becomes fat. The main thing is carbs, its the body's primary...

A pushup/situp ladder would look something like this. 1+2+3+4+5+6+9+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1. Obviously you can use any size increments, not necessarily just a size of 1. It all depends on how many you can do.

I'm in the same boat but I don't think that's the case. From what i've read we're on "the bubble." Basically its 50/50 now and for one reason or another, such as usna waiting on denials, admissions hasn't committed to rejection, or acceptance for that matter. Basically waiting this long is kinda...

what district are you in NJ? I'm district 12

Its on the DODMERB website under application status once you log in. From there click further info on application status, it should redirect you to another page where you have to log in.

Sorry i guess my message was misunderstood. The part where it s supposed to say "admission status" doesn't exist for me at all. Just the parts for agency and current medical status.

If that's the case then thank God! I wonder if that was a change or something when the site was down.

Hey all. Now that the DODMERB website is back up and running i tried checking it again. When i log on there is no box that displays "admission status: in process" or amything of the sort. Just "agency: naval academy" and medically qualified. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm hoping its because...

Hey so I'm aware that you can check your status online on the DODMERB website. However, when I check all that is displayed is the agency with nothing under it. Is this a bad sign? Anyone else experiencing this? I've read that it is supposed to say something like "in process." Thanks

Consider yourself lucky. I've emailed my BGO multiple times and he says he has no info regarding my status. And so the wait continues.....sigh.

Turnong in you packet early was not useless. USNA uses a rolling admissions board so turning you packet in early gives them more time to examine you. The prep school (NAPS/Foundation) is for candidates who do not qualify academically and USNA believes could use a year of prep. In regards to how...

While i'm not a current mid, i would advise against doing this. I've seen on the forums before BGO's and others saying so. Basically it breaks down to the fact that you do not want to show up your fellow mates from the get go. Everyone has a learning curve and everyone gets through it. Also...
