    Need help

    I would look into ROTC a little more in depth since you are just starting college. You will need a bachelors degree to be a pilot in the Navy, so pick a major you will enjoy and get good grades in (most important). Study hard and enjoy college. Proper grammar is always appreciated.

    Question about my qualifications

    I don't see why the law degree would not help your overall package...but it also depends on the community you are applying for.

    Tax season uhg-ain . . .

    There are some new laws out there that may apply to some...fyi. For instance, if you bought a new car this year you can add on the taxes to your standard deduction. Stashed VITA rep out.

    Don't take a cab from the airport, it will be costly. Try and get someone from your class to pick you up. And don't show up with a ton of shit.

    Improving chances of getting to OCS while in school

    If you want a serious answer then search. I guarantee you it is out there. The best thing you can do is get good grades, simple as that. Second best thing is to get in good extracurricular activities with leadership experience. This is stupid.

    Academic Completion Plan??

    I didn't hear a thing about the ADCP once it was filled out and submitted. The biggest thing is making sure you will graduate by the time you say you will on the form. So if need be, space things out. Otherwise, you will not hear anything about the ADCP once sworn in (at least in my experience).

    Just fill something in. I don't think I ever took EXACTLY the classes listed, but I graduated on time, that is the key.

    NROTC Essay, Final Try (Hopefully)

    "I say to Mr. Obama: Let's get on with it. Let's invest in the future."

    I personally do not think the technological advances of space exploration, like Brett has pointed out, have been that great. Instead, a goal like going to Mars withing 15 years motivates a lot of young people to go beyond themselves and strive every day to be better. I believe that the...

    question to guys with a low GPA

    Get LORs from people who know you......officers are better, but not better than people that know you well. Supervisory jobs are excellent! That is what you will do as an officer in the military. Hit that stuff hard in your motivational statement and you will do fine. Good Luck

    Listen, many members of the forum are tearing you a new asshole, and it is quite well deserved. But what needs to be answered before you can be helped (if that is possible), is why do you really want to separate from the military. A girl? A better career? Fear of dying? What is it...

    Second thoughts

    I am also in BDCP, but don't have the reservations you do; however, it is understandable. You swore in and you will owe the Navy, albeit as an officer or enlisted. Talk to your OR immediately if you haven't already. Or you could find yourself someone with the HIV and catch it...jk
