Just a curious question. Did any of you who are waiting to hear from NROTC receive an appointment to any of the Academies?:
As stated in prior posts, this is one of the most lopsided candidate cycles I have seen in 10 years.
Two nominations but no appointment... yet. Still hopeful.
Naturally... it makes the ride that much more exciting. Wait... did I hear the mailman? Gotta run...
Sorry Subdude, truly. I am guessing by your username that you were (are?) a submariner. My husband too...
RKO123 said:Subdude...just got the same message myself. I do have my Army ROTC 4 year to Arizona State so I will be taking that. But I know after all this waiting...that's a very hard message to read. I am sorry for your daughter. Did she apply for any of the other ROTC scholarships?
"We are sorry, you were not selected for a scholarship. You will receive a letter explaining other options available to you."
Best of luck to all who wait.
Thanks Lesrunmore...yes I am a former enlisted submarine nuke...8-1/2 years.
Nope, no other services, just NROTC and USNA. The thing that I don't really get is that she is SQ for USNA and received a nom....but isn't deserving of an NROTC scholarship. At this point it's hard to not expect the worst, that she won't get an appointment to USNA now (even though we know that the two things, USNA/NROTC are not related).
Rule 1: Never believe your recruiter...why is it that they think i am (to quote the recruiter) "a shoe in" for the scholarship yet the board denied me?...
