Not about money Risk a career over refusal of a scholarship? What a farce, and where are those links jcleep? It is not about money....READ...it is about deception and misinformation on PRINTED material, and letters, and emails. Some of you can't handle the truth can you. NROTC needs...

Provide a link jcleppe I have provided a link to misinformation , and multiple locations of misinformation. Could you do the same. Where does it say that? These young men are far too intelligent to go by a 2 min video; you must not think they are very bright to think someone would do...

NROTC Scholarship Video This is a video NROTC might want to correct. Does not say "UP TO 180,000" does not address in state schools vrs. out of state schools. Really hope these issues will be addressed, and when a recipient is wait listed, it should be explained about the different wait...

Thanks for agreeing Jcleppe, thanks for agreeing. I sincerely hope that the NROTC will fix all of the misinformation that is IN WRITING and given to HS students and to scholarship recepients. It is a deception.

jcleppe for you But one thing not addressed is, many students should also apply for other scholarships at schools desired, as although nephew was offered several, there were some he could have applied for but because of the "BIG REVELATION" in April, it is too late for this year. So again...

oh well The original intent of this post was to warn students about some of the unwritten "rules of the NROTC" scholarship. I will answer a few questions, but most of this is not helpful, so it will be few. As far as the question about wanting to serve, YES! most who apply are...

Wait list @PIMA Pima, I knew you would jump in here somehow and that is good. Saying that other kids would kill for the $100,000 is disgusting, as my nephew has worked hard for this scholarship. He feels honored to get this, but at the same time I feel he has been grossly misled and deceived...

Wait list confusion Admission fees were paid to 3 of the 5 universities where he is accepted and two housing fees BEFORE he found out about the no-go. Do you know what termination charges are when you have to abort the housing contract? Yes, I agree they should have been more upfront at...

NROTC Cruz, was that a NROTC scholarship that went from in state to out of state? Thanks/

Congrats to each of you What a great group! :thumb::thumb:

Call me confused. Nephew is awarded NROTC scholarship in December. Placed at first choice which at the time was in state public U. He spoke with NROTC who led him to believe that if he was unsure, he could be wait listed at another school. In late December he was wait listed at OUT of...

Sounds positive! I am sorry for the TWE for ?USNA , but the USMA sounds like a photo op for the candidate and the elected official. In the photo could be candidate getting his appointment! Good luck! Good to hear positive news. GO NC!

Many will be proud My nephew still has not heard anything, (NC) but I do know one thing. If he gets the TWE, his plan B is his NROTC scholarship, and I know he would be most honored to serve with your son! The USNA is nephew's first choice, and NROTC is second. Why? His end goal is a...

Confusing? Your post is confusing, as it sounds like you had a pulmonary function test as part of your DoDMERB exam. I am not DoDMERB but pulmonary function testing is not a part of a routine DoDMERB exam. Also, if you were prescribed meds you must have, at some time, been diagnosed with...

Do you mean Peroneal nerve? Peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve. Did you injure your knee? Was surgery recommended or physical therapy? It is a nerve with a poor history of recovery. Are you sure about the name of the nerve?

GA TECH flyover I was in the stands during this flyover. Both naval aviators lost their wings, and both were grads of Ga Tech. Pilots grounded for good after low flyover - Navy News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Navy Times http://goo.gl/DdqpX

Athletes I meant recruited athletes, also, as nephew's girlfriend began getting letters from USNA in August, but she had no desire to attend a MA and had never approached the USNA. Some of the newspaper articles that have announced appointments have stated that appointee would be on such and...

Interesting What a roller coaster, as nephew has no BFE, TWE, or wait list letter. We hope that means he is still being considered, but not really sure. He is hanging tough. To those of you in the same situatiion, keep on hoping and if you pray (we do) add some prayers for strength through...

BFE madness It was my turn to do the walk to the PO with my nephew Saturday, we opened the box and there was a BFE. Our hearts went nuts until we saw that it was stuffed with 2 T-shirts from one of the universities where he will go as his back-up plan! BOOOOOOOOO! How many really get a...

If this runs into April No we will not be the April Fools, (OH NO...April fool's day is this Friday! Yikes!) we could call it the APRIL COOLS? So if you make it to April and you get a BFE or TWE that would be pretty cool, it would be like riding the roughest roller coaster for as long as...
