Hey everyone, I'm considering joining my school's NROTC program for my sophomore year next year, but I just had a couple of questions about advanced standing. Academically, I should be fine (3.9+ GPA). I'm pretty sure that I want to do advanced standing if I join, and hopefully join SWO, but I...

Any input on the NROTC units at Vanderbilt and University of Texas in Austin? DS visited Texas and loved it. They’ve been so welcoming and supportive. Not feeling the same support from Vandy but planning to visit next month. Any intel? Thank you!

Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question, do you only need a waiver for the scholarship/advanced standing? I currently have several medical dq’s and if I don’t get a waiver on first try, I was going to see if I could try join a unit w/out a scholarship and then reapply. Input is appreciated...

Thanks

I am currently a 1/C Mid in NROTC and just finished my nuke interview for subs. After the interview there we had a choice of picking being a stashed ensign at our ROTC unit or doing OHARP back home. I chose OHARP because it seemed like a good opportunity to spend some more time back home before...

I was wondering if anybody knew when the NROTC board results from February (the 2nd board ) we're going to be released ?

Hi all! Just trying to get some insights from those who Qualified from Dodmerb, DS checked his Dodmerb account this week and saw that his status changed to "qualified" for NROTC. What happens next? There is an attachment letter in Dodmerb stating he is qualified, is that it? Are we getting...

This is really just a food for thought kind of question me and some of my buddies had. Could a NROTC Mid decline a commission if they didn't get the assignment they wanted? Has anybody ever done something similar? (like they really wanted to avoid subs for example lol). The consensus we had was...

I was just now viewing the webpage of the NROTC unit at Kennesaw State University. On their NROTC page it says quote; "OCS, NROTC, and USNA all commission 1000 officers per year. Each commissioning source has the same number of billets for all communities. You have an equal chance of gaining...

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...

Hello! I submitted my NROTC application about 2 weeks ago and was just notified by my coordinator that her commanding chief has selected my application and would like to meet and conduct my officer interview. Does anyone know what this means? I've read in this forum somewhere that it could be an...

Hello all, I was working on my NROTC essays and came across a question asking what warfarin community I want to join and why. Does this question (pasted at the bottom of this post) have any bearing on selection? Do they try to balance community numbers? Do I have to join that community? The...

I'm considering to apply for a college that provides an NROTC program. Aside from USNA, Which college prepares competitive applicants for SEAL officers? Does a certain school provide better training than others and make a candidate more competitive? Or will it just be evaluated on the individual...

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.

Here is information that may be useful to people to whom this information applies, as well as questions at the end for those who may be able to help provide further clarification (perhaps someone such as the Commanding Officer(s) of one or more NROTC units). I have tried to read every thread on...

Hello. Great site, lots of good info. I don't think the below has been asked, given my (poor?) usage of the 'Search' function. If so, feel free to point me to an existing thread. My high school senior daughter is an inspiring nuclear engineer and military officer, in that order. Until...

Hello everyone. I am new here. I am a senior in high school applying to VMI. I am interested in NROTC, but VMI webpage says that cadets who do not plan to commission will be enrolled in army ROTC. I want to do NROTC. I contacted VMI NROTC and they replied: "Unfortunately we do not have the...

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...

Hello everyone, during the past semester, I experienced disenrollment and had to confront several issues that ultimately contributed to my poor performance. Consequently, I now find myself indebted to the Navy for the money granted through my scholarship. However, during the disenrollment...

Good evening SA Forums, I have a few questions that need answers and just observations and advice of what to do! I put them in bullet points so that they are easier to answer. If you do not know, I am considering applying to USNA in college. I am high school senior who is nowhere near a...
