I am looking for advice regarding a decision I have to make between BDCP and a NROTC scholarship. I applied and was nominated for a NROTC scholarship (Tweeddale) this past spring. At first I was told there was very little chance the funding would get approved. So after talking to the CO and the recruiting officer at Auburn’s NROTC unit I decided to look into other options. I applied for BDCP SNA and NFO shortly after this discussion. While waiting for my application to be reviewed by the selection board (June boards), I was informed that my NROTC scholarship was approved. Today I found out I was selected for BDCP SNA and NFO. Now I have to decide if I should take the BDCP option or the NROTC option. Both programs have certain benefits and some drawbacks. In the overall picture I am mostly concerned with becoming an officer which both programs fulfill. In terms of service selection my first choice would be aviation followed by sub service. Does anyone have a major reason to select one over the other? I would appreciate any information or advice towards the two commissioning programs. I am trying to gather as much information as possible before making a final decision. This website has been a very helpful tool in finding information on both sources of commissions. Thanks for the help.
