Hello. I am currently a high school senior and have been enlisted in the Marine Corps DEP for several months. I recently received word that my 4 year NROTC scholarship has been approved and I have decided to attend the college that I have been assigned to. After discussing it with my recruiters, they have told me that I can either be completely discharged or that I can go into the reserves while I am in college. I would do my Marine Corps Reserve training via the IIADT program (under this program a college student goes to bootcamp before freshmen year and then does MCT/skill training the next summer). They also told me that because of my NROTC affiliation I would be in a non-deployable status. Has anyone heard of this being done? I am aware that the Army has the Simultaneous Membership Program which allows ROTC cadets to be members of a reserve unit at the same time but I have never heard of this being done with the Navy/Marines. However, my recruiters have told me that another enlistee from their office who also received an NROTC scholarship is doing this. Is it really possible? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
