    How much time did you study for the ASTB?

    yeah ok I dont believe that for a second, your scores were unbelieveable from what I heard :) haha...I took the same approach and was happy also. I think someone said it correctly that you either got it or you dont to a certain extent.

    When are ROTC cadets given the PRT?

    yeah just to pile on, some units do more than one pfa per semester. one being a practice one, which if you fail, doesnt count towards any scholarship failures but puts you on remedial, and one being the official, and if you fail more than one of these, you could get in some hot water. best...

    Is there a minimum number of credits per semester for non-scholarship midshipmen?

    well only take 12 hours if that's all you need to take. you may need to take more than 15 credits as an underclassman to keep on schedule. for example, i had to carry 22 credits each semester freshman year because of the rotc class. it's normal for freshmen, sophomores and even juniors depending...

    Is there a minimum number of credits per semester for non-scholarship midshipmen?

    yep, being a senior i only have to take 12 credits next year both semesters, including navsci, and i'll have more than enough credits to graduate. would've taken less but I need to carry enough credits to be a full time student
  42. Yardstick

    Is there a minimum number of credits per semester for non-scholarship midshipmen?

    Midshipmen? But to answer your question, at least at our unit, even the CP'ers had to submit a degree completion program to their unit staff advisor that would ensure they graduated on time if they picked up a scholarship/advanced standing
