I'm not quite sure, and this is a pretty random question, but do having family members in your prospective branch help? My cousin is a major in the Marines and another just graduated from Navy OCS so i was wondering if that'd have any effect on my NROTC app?
 
Sorry, but no. Family members who are serving (or have served) do not help your NROTC application. If appropriate, you can use their examples in your essay.
 
You could title your essay "Navy....it's the family business" recent article in Army Times stated that quite a few of the currant military were also products of the military! Our dau will be third generation Army. An essay of this kind might set you a part from the pack.
 
It helped with DS in his interview with the PMS to be able to say that his great-grandfather and grandfather had both been in ROTC. He also included it as part of the essay.
 
As alluded, possibly in an essay. When it comes down to it, however, this is about YOU in the application, the interview, and the process.
 
yeah, I talked about it in my essay a little. I can go off of my inspiration gained from such members

Basically what my son did for his Marine Option essay. You're on the right track with that.
