marine corps nrotc

I’ve read a bit about other people wondering if they could change majors while in, so I understand it’s possible. For Marine Option, would it cause difficulty in using an awarded scholarship if I were to switch from my intended major (computer/electrical engineering), to something that wasn’t...

Afternoon y'all, I am going to Texas A&M on a 4 year Marine ROTC Scholarship. My first choice in terms of outfit is C2. How should I prepare physically and mentally for this upcoming challenge. (For background, I have attended a military boarding school for my entire high school career so I may...

Does anyone have ideas for additional professional advancement opportunities during the summer? Summer training is only a month, and I would like to take advantage of the rest of the summer.

I am a Prospective C/O '28 applying for Marine Option. Few questions I have: The application booklet suggests I need to be meeting regularly with a recruiter, when is the best time to start this process if I have not formally met with one yet (just by cold call)? Should I be meeting with a local...

I had a question about the NROTC Marine Option Scholarship. For me personally, results were just released, and unfortunately I was unable to secure the national scholarship during this second board, but I did have a question about it. Obviously, not everyone who receives the scholarship to go...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had a clue as to when the NROTC MO results are to be coming out, predicted to come out, or if they have already come out because I see no update on my portal status and my NROTC coordinator has not talked to me or responded to my messages. Thanks in...

Hey yall, I'm a current senior looking to major in psychology and commission into the Marines, and I have several questions on how to decide between the two. I've been browsing the forums, but most of the posts I've run into are for AROTC commissions which don't really help me that much. As...

Exactly as the title says. What makes the Citadel, compared to the other SMAs or ROTC programs, so appealing to Marine prospects? If you're a Marine officer who graduated from the Citadel, did you notice a large amount of your peers (who weren't in any Marine-specific classes) also going into...

I just have received my results for the DoD medical standards and there is a major error. I was disqualified for D161.21-History of surgery for peptic ulceration or perforation. I did not have surgery for this issue. The doctors had indicated that it was a freak instance that could have been...

Good morning, Everyone. I know in my last post, I said I am majoring in Engineering as an NROTC Marine-Option next year, but with all of the activity in cyberspace, "the new frontier", I am considering pursuing the new 1702 Cyber Warfare MOS. A buddy of mine from Virginia is joining the USMC as...

Good evening everyone. This is a strange question but I'm curious what the community has to say. I'm an incoming 4/C Marine-Option in NROTC with a 35 ACT, 3.9 High School GPA, and both a 300 PFT & CFT. I THINK I love the idea of going straight into the officer corps, and I'm excited for my...

Howdy y’all, I was curious whether how the route one chooses for NROTC (Marine Corps v Navy v Navy Nurse) affects his/her ROTC experience in college... Does everybody in NROTC train together, participating in the same activities, regardless of which path in the navy ppl choose? Or do they...

Looking at the NROTC gear issue, the "Graduation issue" is Service Dress White Choker Coat, White Dress Gloves, and Service Dress White Trousers. So all Navy Option uniforms. Therefore, Navy Options graduate with just about every required uniform item they need, including their khakis, NWUs...

Hey everyone, I am trying to earn the NROTC MO scholarship, as a senior in high school applying to multiple colleges. I am aware that the number of recipients for the scholarship are extremely low compared with the number of applicants (14%), and I am not sure where I stack up with the other...

GPA - 3.9/4.33 (Taken or will take "hard" AP's before graduation such as Chem, Physics 1, Physics C, Calculus, Psych, United States History, Environmental Science, Human Geography) Act - 33 super score (32 Math/English/Reading, 35 Science, 8 writing) Wrestling JV - 10th grade V- 11th, 12th...

I just started filling out my NROTC application, and I accidentally selected the Marine option instead of the Navy Option. Now, even when I click the bubble for Navy option, it still keeps me stuck as a Marine option. I have tried selecting Navy, logging out, then logging back in, but I haven't...

Greetings Are the NROTC and the NROTC-MO completely different programs that need to be applied to separately? Or, does a person apply for just an NROTC Scholarship and express his/her interest in both the Navy & Marine Corps? If they are separate applications, does a person need to send his...

So for starters, I found out Thursday that I received the Marine Option 4-year scholarship to Virginia Tech. I was DEFINITELY NOT expecting it- in fact, I had assumed it was a lost cause and begun looking at other branch scholarships. Although I am still waiting on a decision from the Naval...

I am applying to the NROTC Marine Option Scholarship, but I do not know if I am all that competitive. My recruiter was always talking about enlisting and then going to PLC during college. I am all for that option, except I do not want to miss school. I would be missing my first semester at...

Hello, all. I have a couple questions regarding the Marine-option NROTC scholarship process. I've finished the online application but have not submitted because I want to review them with my OSO. It also says I have to complete three "supplemental forms" that are "available on web site". The...
