Can navy recruiters manipulate NROTC process

Refining my two posts on this, go to the Contact Us tab at the CNRC (Commander, Navy Recruiting Command). You will find the CNRC IG (Inspector General) phone number. I think that is the best place to go with a specific complaint, recruiting leadership, before going to SECNAV IG. They would task it out to CNRC IG anyway - and no one likes to hear from the big boss about a problem before they have had a chance to address it.

It just occurred to me that CNRC would have its own IG at that level. Below SECNAV, above Recruiting District Commander (who would be pressing the field recruiters to make quotas).
Thank you!
 
Here's an update. We found out today my son did not receive an NROTC scholarship. So he's decided to accept his appointment at the USMMA, although he remains on the USNA wait list. A different Navy recruiter contacted him after the final NROTC notices were sent out today and he told her he wanted to sign the release paperwork from Navy Nuke so he could go to USMMA. The recruiter kept him on the phone for 40 minutes trying to talk him our of going to USMMA and staying in Navy Nuke (this was far and away the longest phone conversation of his life by about 35 minutes). When he got off the phone, he was really hot under the collar because "she just wouldn't listen to me." Right now, he's at the recruitment office to sign the release papers. I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to that. But I know my son, and once he's made up his mind....

My DS just called me. The recruiter tried to shame him. "After everything we've done for you." He told them repeatedly "I want to to to the USMMA." Finally, they produced the documents for release and he signed. Whew!

Thanks for the update. I don't blame him for being hot under the collar. Reminds me of trying to terminate my cable TV contract. :D
Sorry things didn't work out quite as he would have liked.

I am sorry it did not turn out the way he wanted, however, congratulations on the USMMA! I am sure he has a very bright future ahead!
