OD (above the NROTC units) doesn't tell us when they're going to release things. Just count on early October and be pleasantly surprised.

I don't like commenting on a student's "competitiveness." I feel that very few people on this board (including current NROTC instructors like myself) have any deep insight as to whether your 1320 is competitive or not. The scholarship board looks at so much more, and so many other factors come...

Regarding paying tuition for a double major or optional minor - it all depends on the unit and what your CO is willing to approve. Our unit doesn't approve requests (summer school, extended benefits, etc.) for anything outside of the required major and minor (naval science). You might be able to...

Current NROTC instructor here. I'll answer your initial question and some of the others that came up in the thread: 1. Yes, you can take summer courses. We have mids every summer who do it. We have them work the courses around their summer cruises and haven't had a conflict yet. The only cruise...

Don't forget about HM. Numbers are small, but it's a possibility - don't want you to overlook our 53 bubbas.

Current NROTC instructor and former helo bubba here. First off, talk with your aviation advisor about your plans. Second, how do you feel about the Marines? Right now Marine option mids can guarantee a flight school spot if they get minimum ASTB scores and qualify medically. Third, I second...

Hey, current NROTC instructor here. I'd like to give you my perspective on your question. First, the process is called service assignment. You can absolutely be "drafted" (i.e. forced) to be a nuke. You can kick and scream about it, and maybe your CO will go to bat for you, but if the nuclear...

We lost three good men on January 8, 2014. RIP brothers, I think about you all the time.... http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/08/us/navy-craft-down/index.html

They enforce the 65% STEM requirement by running numbers during pre-registration for majors plebe year. If too many mids pre-register for Tier III majors they send out a mass notification that the numbers are off and then contact the individuals who might be affected if enough people don't...

You've heard wrong. The NROTC folks have reduced the number of four year scholarships and increased the number of 3 and 2 year scholarships and advanced standing. The best way to receive one of these is through excelling in the college program. My experience has shown that receiving a...

Brett - thanks for the feedback and instructions, I was surprised when I didn't see a thread on it. I look forward to reading.

Hey everyone. Long time reader, first time poster. I'd love to hear thoughts about the FY17 O-4 board - seemed to reverse the trend of the past couple years with a high selection rate for aviators/NFOs. Just gouge, but I heard that the aviation community wasn't necessarily looking for more O-4s...
