What to Expect

[Whats_my_MOS]

I just picked up a two-year Advanced Standing contract with the Navy ROTC, what can I expect to happen next, or timelines related to things such as DoDMERB? The only thing I know so far is to report to my unit when I return to school to sign some papers, as my CO said over the phone.

Thank you in advance!

I could be totally wrong here, but I thought that someone who was participating as a college programmer was run through DoDMERB prior to being offered advanced standing. By definition you need to be DoDMERB qualified before you contract. Did the unit arrange for any physicals for you the first two years? Anyway, my son's unit did that prior to awarding scholarships or advanced standing to college programmers. YMMV I guess.

I was offered advanced standing, and then they (the administrators in my unit) started arranging my physicals and looking at my federal background check and other things I may not yet be aware of. So I'll be into the semester a fair bit before I actually sign my paperwork and begin my obligation to the USN.
