Do you know what happens to your website. There's a lot of good info there that I refer people to; especially SMP.

Corn, risotto, and bacon.... together at last! :)

You'll be behind a year on required Naval Sciences courses, but you can double up and catch up. I'm not sure @GrilledCheese94 is correct. I know in the past you could get a guaranteed slot at flight school as a Marine Option as early as sophomore year, perhaps junior year in your case...

It can be done. Your biggest hurdle is going to be prereqs and scheduling, since not all courses are scheduled each semester. I do know folks who have studied abroad for a year and accomplished the doubling up to cover their absence while abroad.

How wise you are. Rupert has very good parents, as did Mandy. So sorry for your loss.

Correct

Keep in mind that the scholarship won't kick in until the student is contracted. Successful completion of the physical fitness test for the particular service is a requirement for contracting. Arrive in shape to your unit.

Don't worry about rounding errors..

A minor, or second minor would certainly be allowed. Further, regardless of how many credit hours one has, one cannot graduate until ALL required courses, including major courses, have been completed. When she graduates, according to the college, is totally under her control.

Which I think is part of the objective of NSI. I know it was expected as part of the orientations given by many college units in the pre-NSI days. They want you to succeed but you have to have your heart in it to do so.

Bring it. Worst case is they lock it up and return it to you at the end of NSI.

Gee, I thought NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER was pretty clear. He will not be on the reserve list. He will be subject to call up in the event of a draft, just as he would be if he had never done ROTC.

If he leaves prior to start of sophomore year, he is under no obligation whatsoever.

First year of any ROTC program is on the service. If you leave before the start of sophomore year, you will not owe a penny. If you were on scholarship freshman year, and drop during sophomore year, you will need to repay ALL scholarship money received, including those received during freshman...

And that's no different in a civilian organization either.
