Hi all,
After receiving my scholarship the reality of becoming a midshipmen just became very real to me.
I was curious as to if current parents/mids could share their experiences and thoughts with NROTC?
What did you like/dislike about being in the program?
Do you think at the end of the day working hard for the four years and earning my commission is worth it?
As a midshipmen at a civilian school, are we allowed to live a "normal" college experience outside our NROTC obligations? Ex: Going out to explore the surrounding era, attending the occasional party/tailgate, taking part in greek life, etc?
How much time will I need to commit to the program while at school? (work load, PT, summer obligations, etc)
If you have any fond (or not fond!) memories/experiences from your time in the program?
Anything which could paint a better picture for me and maybe others as to what life in NROTC is truly like would be much appreciated.
I know I can find some of these answers around the official website but I just wanted to see what you all had to say first hand
I'm very grateful for the opportunity I've received and want to completely understand what I'm getting myself into!
Thanks
