I love inside jokes/secret; I'd like to be apart of one someday........for the Office fans

I was hoping Capt MJ would post. This is what I wanted to write above, but didn't have the background. Follow This!!

There is about 100 different variables that can affect if one scholarship will supersede the NROTC. Is the school scholarship merit based or need based? Can it be applied to tuition, room and board, both? Depends on the school...private, public. The list goes on and on. Your best bet is to...

I don't know for sure. I do know that any real changes in your medical history has to be reported to DoDMERB and/or USNA. That can effect your appointment. In reading this forum, I have read that it is easier to deal with SOME medical issues after I-Day than it is before. Notice I said SOME...

Depends on how strict you are with your driving and what your looking for. If you looking for more river/ bay vibe, you could look at Gloucester Point(just East of Williamsburg), or even Cape Charles on Eastern Shore. Cape Charles would add about a hour to your drive each way. You do get to...

Your haircut is fine, and it will be buzzed completely when you get there. Super long hair can get you some extra attention, but that candidate would also loose that feeling of getting it all cut off all at once....A "this is getting real" moment. It is a personal choice for each candidate...

I believe selection for early graduates is still in the Fall senior year. I do know that Dec SWO grads have ship selection early(Nov I think), so I don’t think early grads have it earlier than other seniors. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm

Your recent quote is completely different from what you wrote earlier today. Almost to the point of trying to change the narrative. Herman_Snead is not calling you a liar or mischaracterizing your words. You wrote the above statements about your son on a public forum, and now you don't like...

This is a way over the top reaction to missing a birthday party. I agree that these MIDNs are adults; therefore, they can make there own decisions about where they want to go and how they get there. They can also deal with the pros and cons of that decision. Wither we like that decision or...

The female announcer calling the names has a future in announcing boxing matches. The male is not doing bad, but he is not in her league.

I suspect that Title IX will be more loosely applied if they go this route. Maybe base payment on the revenue generated by each sport? IDK. I think that it is time to reconsider if these players are "Student Athletes" if they are making significant money in this proposed plan. They are not...

File this under VERY useful information....Thank you!

A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Really focus on CORTRAMID to see many options available to you through NROTC. Yes working with the CEC as a Civil Engineer major would be ideal, but going with another community and performing well can open the same doors after you get out of the Navy...

I agree that is the case now and I am fine with that, but some have mentioned the desire that more competitive districts have more appointments. These districts are in highly populated areas, so my question above was how do you allow more appointments in competitive districts without...

This is the new normal for NROTC parents. If anyone is like my family. We have champagne dreams on a beer budget when it comes to vacations. We use to be able to plan ahead of time and search out deals and off season bargains. When the kids hit high school, that became harder since missing...
