Hi my daughter is beginning the process of applying for the nrotc scholarship and we met w our local recruiter yesterday. I’m slightly confused regarding the navy or marine option. My daughter is interested in the Navy vs Marines. Our recruiter was a marine and said you enter the program as a marine and then split off? It was confusing for us. From what I am reading online this isn’t the case? Additionally my daughter is going to retake the act, however the recruiter mentioned she should consider enlisting as a marine reservist and take the asvab so she can apply for the first deadline. He was pretty sure she had to be enlisted to take this test. Is this the case? Thanks for any input.
