    What is the time commitment to USCG AUP?

    I know its not exactly ROTC, but close enough. Also if anyone knows, why does the coast guard have jrotc units but not rotc units?

    Does "complete and on hold" from DODMETS suggest I might need a waiver?

    When it says its identified errors in my examination records, is it suggesting a clerical issue or a medical issue?

    Is the Naval Academy right for me?

    Just for context I am a Junior in high school currently going through the admission process. Lately, I've been questioning if this really is the right choice for me. The idea of 5 years after graduation seems daunting, even more so the fact I won't be able to choose. I have the fear that I will...

    Two Questions.

    1. Can I still accept a ROTC scholarship if I plan to enter college in the winter semester? 2. Will being born and moving to the US from Russia impact my ability to get a security clearance/go active duty in my service assignment?

    I have completely finished my application for the October ROTC board, but their website/portal hasn't been working for me.

    Does USNA consider half-marathons and other long distance endurance racing part of the "athlete" section?

    I understand its not exactly a team sport so i'm not sure if it should be mentioned, and whether they hold it in high regard.

    Should I ask for letters of recommendations yet?

    At the moment I'm still missing a math teacher recommendation letter, but I can't use my teacher from sophomore or junior year. This leaves me with my senior year teacher. I don't really know her that well and I'm pretty silent in class, but do well on tests and homework. Should I wait until...

    What do I do if I can't take a computer science class?

    Though my school offers compsci classes I haven't taken any, and this year I can't fit any in my schedule without removing core classes. Can I still apply to the academy?

    So far my applications for colleges and academies are pretty straightforward, and I can always reach out to admissions for advice. Is this the same for ROTC, and if so who should I reach out to?

    Asking for clarification for the essay question.

    The essay prompt for the nomination from my senator is: What is the greatest challenge you have ever had to overcome? Do you think they want me to talk about physical challenges something like doing a live burn for firefighter training; or something more personal such as taking a very difficult...

    Would calling/reaching out to my congressmen to vote against a bill they currently support impact my nomination chances?

    I live in New York and care a lot about wildlife conservation, but sadly my representative doesn't share that same passion. Could this negatively impact my chances of admission?

    Is it normal for such a high percentage of the class to be made of recruited athletes?

    I saw the admissions stats the other day and was shocked to see that so many cadets in the class of 2029 were recruited. Is this normal and will it make admissions for non-recruited athletes harder?

    Any advice for dealing with calluses when training pullups?

    I've always had problems, and the only solution I've found is cutting the calluses off, which tends to be quite painful. When I try to change my grip on the bar, the calluses just hurt on my fingers.

    Can I take DoDMERB before all the academies i'm applying to request it?

    I'm currently applying to USCGA, USNA, and USMA along with NROTC and ROTC. I just filled out the requirement for USMA and got a request to start scheduling the exam. Can I take the exam before the requests come in from the other academies/rotc programs?
