commissioning

DS just received notification that his disenrollment board is recommending no punishments, that he continue to be enrolled and commissioned. This process has taken almost TWO YEARS. The process was initiated the week prior to graduation. The school cleared him of any wrong-doing and issued his...

Hi all, My rotc scholarship application was immediately denied after I put that I’ll have 60credit hours (a full AA). The senior instructor at my local college who I was talking with is currently unreachable but he told me there are 4, 3 and 2 year scholarships and that I am only required to do...

Greetings all, I recently met with a USMC recruiter about a possible future as an officer in the Marine Corps. The USMC seems like an incredibly challenging yet rewarding career path. I am applying to USNA as one of my top choices for college and wanted to know how many USNA graduates per class...

I will be attending VMI this fall (or whenever COVID-19 finally lets up), and I am planning to pursue a commission in the Navy. However, I didn't pick up the 4-year scholarship. I am going in as a Tier 3 Major (History), and I don't want to force myself to pursue a Tier-1 Major because I know...

I am currently a Midshipman at USNA and I was told over Plebe Summer that I have Keratoconus. I did not think too much of it, as I thought it was a common disorder and that people who have it here receive PRK or LASIK before commissioning. Unfortunately, surgery is not recommended for...

I am going to be a MS3 in AROTC. In a year from now, I will be at summer training deciding which direction I want to go after commissioning. My scholarship offers a lot of options. I can choose Active Duty, Reserves, or National Guard. I understand there are a lot of factors that play into OML...

I am currently in high school, and have started looking into colleges. I was hoping to possibly do Army ROTC in college, as I have always been interested in serving. I understand what ROTC is and am clear with most of it. However, I was wondering how the commissioning into different branches...

Hello All, Just curious to see if anyone here is aware of any NROTC program changes that are “coming down the pipe”. It’s always nice to get out ahead of changes to program administration and commissioning requirements (assuming changes are even being made). Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I’m considering applying for the national scholarship for the AROTC. I understand that upon commissioning your branch will be determined by the OML. I was hoping someone could clarify though, can an ROTC cadet on scholarship go into the reserves? Or do they have to serve active duty? I have...

Hello, I know that the Army has a guaranteed reserve forces scholarship - I’m pretty sure NROTC does not, but uncertain as to whether or not AFROTc does. I’ve heard that it’s possible. Someone told me that if you have an agreement with a reserve unit, you can commission into the AF reserves...

I am at a loss of what to do. I have just been told that I am being medically separated from the Naval Academy, and that I will not be able to graduate or commission. It has been my dream to become a Marine Pilot, and I was selected to do so at service assignment. However, because I sought help...

I want to become an officer, but I'm not sure what branch yet, however, I'm leaning toward air force. I have heard that anyone can join AFROTC everyone is treated the same wither you are a scholarship cadet or not. I have also heard the anyone can take the last 2 years(junior and senor) as long...

Hello, everyone. It has been a very long time since I posted on the forums here; I think it's been upward to four years. Just to give some background information: I was a high school four-year scholarship recipient at Penn State AROTC; performed strong academically and was heavily involved as...

Hello everyone, I am a senior mechanical engineering student and 1/C midshipman on a 2 yr side load scholarship. Up until recently, I had dreams of serving as a nuclear officer onboard a submarine. However, I desperately want to drop out of NROTC as soon as possible. My grandmother (who...
