Hi, I'm currently trying to decide which college to attend out of the following, Miami University Ohio and University of Alabama. MU has NROTC, UA doesn't, however UA is really attractive to me. My plan was initially to attend MU and do NROTC Marine Option as a college programmer, for I found out too late about the scholarship and was unable to apply. The next step of the plan was to then transfer to a different school, that has NROTC, that I had wanted to go to originally but decided not to because of my grades. I'll use Georgetown University as an example. But now I was thinking possibly about going to UA for the first year, doing AROTC to learn military discipline and PT experience so I'm not absolutely behind, though I know I'll learn things that are not used in the Naval side of things. Then I'd transfer to GU and do NROTC and apply for the scholarship. Plan B would be to commission through PLC. Which path should I go on in your opinion? Are any of these paths good? And I've been hearing rumors about The Marine Corps not offering 2-3 year scholarships anymore, but it's sometimes conflicting, is this true? Thanks
