I am a HS Junior who will be applying for a MCJROTC nomination soon. Our instructor retired at the end of my Sophomore year and he and I are close. He'd be able to knock my letter of recommendation out of the park. We got a new instructor this semester, so he doesn't know me very well at all. Our unit is much different now and not ideal for letting students show as much usefulness/capability as they were able to before. The ROTC nomination requires a letter of recommendation. Will I be able to have my previous instructor write that, or will it need to be the new instructor?
