Is there someone who might offer me some advice I can offer our son?
He has been awarded a NROTC scholarship and has visited the school he picked, met some folks at the unit and heard from others via email. Just a super group of people all around. He seems real comfortable there. He is waiting to hear from USNA. He attended USNA's Summer Seminar and loved the experience. We know 3 or 4 USNA grads and they all tell him that USNA is great but that NROTC grads in the fleet have all the same opportunities. Some of them feel like the hassles at USNA were worth it and others tell him to go the NROTC route. To make matters even more confusing--he got into USCGA early decision and has heard mostly good things about that place. We know the missions are different between Navy and Coast Guard, but can anyone supply us with some good questions or information that might help him make a big decision. I appreciate your time, and I'm happy to find a forum that is filled with people who are anxious to be helpful to each other. Thanks
