marine corps nrotc

I will be attending university after a year in my local community college. I am considering joining NROTC, but I would have to double up on Naval Science Curriculums since I did not join NROTC as a first year in college. Can someone tell me how manageable doubling Naval Science Curriculums is in...

Hey guys, I am considering joining Marine ROTC during my sophomore year of university. I am wondering how much coursework I would be behind on , and what are the chances of getting an aviation contract?

We learned last week that my DD has been awarded the 4-yr National NROTC-MO scholarship at Norwich University. She is VERY excited. Being an NROTC alum myself, I am trying to help her with the resulting additional paperwork. We are stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, as both her mother & I are...

I heard today from my recruiter that I did not receive the NROTC Marine Corps Scholarship. I am planning on walking on and trying to receive a 3 year scholarship at my college that I’ll be attending next year. I’ve done some research and have a vague idea on what I need to do. But to be more...

So yesterday I found out that I recieved an LOA to the Naval Academy Class of 2029, conditional on a medical waiver. I should be overjoyed, given that this has been my dream school since I was a freshman. But something has been nagging at me and detracting from my ability to be happy about...

Hello, I got the contact information for the Executive Officer that will be processing my application and interview this upcoming summer (Fiscal Year 2026). Should I reach out ahead of time? If so, should I ask questions or just demonstrate interest? Thanks.

Hello! My dream is to go to Penn State and do Marine-ROTC there. I have a few questions about it though. I know that the Marine ROTC selection is different than the Army. At the recruiters office, they emphasized 2 main things (that they said were more important then anything): maxing out my...

Waiting for the first board to start what is everyone else doing?

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...
