Every since that little scare yesterday which a couple others and myself got about not receiving the scholarship I have been thinking more and more about back ups plans. I already have an idea of what I'd do if I don't get any service academy appointment or NAPS or ROTC but I'm still thinking of the best way to still become an Officer in the Navy. I am wondering if there is someway to go to NSI without a 4 year scholarship. Maybe If I was to contact the Unit at the school I will be attending because I am for sure going to a school with the program and trying to receive a 3 or 2 year scholarship. I feel like showing how dedicated I am to the program by trying to also go to NSI might look well, plus its something I am generally interested in and would be looking forward to. If going to NSI without a scholarship is anyway possible, I would like your help. Thank you. And if anyone has any information on the college program and being a part of ROTC not on scholarship that would also be of service.
