This summer as a second year NROTC Midshipman I got to go to CORTRAMID East which was an incredible exposure experience. I really had a great time until I got to Marine week. Since I’m a Navy option I didn’t have much interest in the Marines to begin with so my bar was pretty low, but once I got...

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...

Just curious, does anyone know how the option to commission in the Marines works at KP? Do they go through OCS after graduation? PLC due to the crazy Kings Point schedule? Or Leatherneck? I thought Leatherneck was for USNA. Do MIDN join USNA for Leatherneck? Also how is it determined which...

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...

Just a heads up- when your mid reaches the summer before their firstie year, they are asked what their blood type is on one of the forms they fill out for Leatherneck. That the mid is filling out at 5 a.m. East Coast time on their way to Leatherneck. And you, as a parent, have no clue what...

Can any marine engineers or former marine engineers tell me about the job? Did you all enjoy your work as a marine engineer, and what were you daily tasks like? Are you happy that you chose to work in this field? Just wanted to hear your experiences, thanks!

Hi everyone, I have been lucky enough to earn an appointment to USNA with the class of 2023 and also a NROTC Marine Option scholarship to the University of Michigan. Although having to choose is a great problem to have, I am conflicted on which route to select. USNA has been my dream school...

Hello, I am an applicant for the 2019 NROTC scholarship and I was wondering if some insight could be given into my chances of receiving it; keep in mind this is for the Marine Option so the stats are different. I’ve been confused on what to believe about the accepted statistics, looking at the...

Hello All, I have been awarded a four year NROTC/MO Scholarship to TAMU. However, I am currently struggling in my AP Calculus BC class, and I may finish the semester with a D or below. I am working with my teacher to resolve the issues in my understanding of the material, but I was wondering how...

First post, though I’ve lurked on here for a long time. I had a quick question about the DODMERB. A few months ago I had the medical exam done for the USNA, and I was qualified, and that was that. I also applied for the NROTC MO scholarship earlier this Fall. About a week ago I got an email from...

I applied for the first board of Marine option NROTC and have not yet heard back. I am unsure if I will be awarded it so I want to be prepared for the second board. How do I go about Re-running a PFT? Should I contact my recruiter to request a change? I think that I will have a much stronger...

Hello! As I am researching the academy before I apply next year, I found out about PROTRAMID. It sounds like an amazing experience to get to know the different options, but I am pretty sure I would not be able to handle Marine week (gas chamber and all). Are there any other options, or is...

We knew it was coming. Hope she knocks it out of the park. http://thehill.com/policy/defense/marine-corps/401042-lieutenant-becomes-first-ever-woman-to-lead-marine-infantry

I started my NROTC (Marine Option) application last night and decided to finish it in the morning, but now I can't login. I either get a 403 error "Access is forbidden" or it basically refreshes the login screen without an error message. I know that I'm putting my password in right because it...

I am a junior in high school and hoping to get accepted into the NROTC marine option full scholarship program. I am wondering what kind of job awaits me after I graduate from the program should I get accepted. I know that I am commissioned as an active duty officer but what does that entail...

After not receiving the scholarship this year, I have decided continuing pursue either a 3 year scholarship, either at my first or second choice. When you join the college program, does anyone know if you have to immediately choose between Navy or Marine option? Or do you only choose once you...

Ive always assumed that Marine Option midshipmen could apply for 2 and 3 year scholarships if they don't receive the 4 year. However, recently I've heard otherwise from a few different sources. Does anyone know what the deal on this is? Did the Marines get rid of the 2 and 3 year scholarship...

I am applying for the NROTC MO scholarship and I plan on earning a commission as a Marine officer after I graduate. Only problem is that I have dislocated my shoulder about 4 times and my doctors are telling me that I need surgery to stabilize it. THERE ARE NO TEARS IN THE MUSCLES OR LIGAMENTS...
