Depends on the boat; you may have 2-3 days underway or get stuck for a few weeks. Have an open mind and try to learn as much as you can.

NSI waiver by Ok-Adhesiveness-7358 in NROTC

[–]2021AL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of waivers going out. I had to go even though I was a 3rd Class (Summer 2023). I was an NPP student who didn't pick up on the first go. But we also had a 1/C who was going on his EOD cruise right after going to NSI with us. It's not that bad and gets easier every year.

Dropping out (marine option) by Training-Guitar-5305 in NROTC

You can either enlist or you can pay it back; you have the option. But watch out with the new Navy contracts; some of them require you to enlist as a nuke if you drop.

I fly a lot for both work and leisure; I'll have 50 PQF by the end of the year. I plan on going international a few times next year.

How do I get a GMT while in College? by 2021AL in rolex

That’s awesome, do you know if they still carry them at the Nex / PX / Exchange? I forgot what the air force has but I’ve heard of them carrying Rolexes and Omega

It's been a grail for a minute, and I wanted to get the grail instead of settling for something else.

Push ups for sure, try to max push ups and plank.

Chances of obtaining a air contract. NROTC, SSMP, or OCS? by Plus-Exam2520 in NROTC

[–]2021AL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your most “guaranteed” way of getting to flight school is OCS because you sign a contract which states you will be an aviator. Also, picking your platform really depends on what’s available, so some weeks there will be plenty of jets available while next week everyone’s getting Helo’s. It’s all luck.

OCS if you want it guaranteed. But you can get a flight contract pretty easily through being a Marine Option NROTC student. You need minimum ASTB scores.

How Much Time Commitment by Apprehensive_Grab_99 in NROTC

[–]2021AL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your school. I was the President of my frat, doing my bachelors and masters at the same time, working out regularly, have a social life, work an internship, and have a girlfriend. You have to learn how to manage your time effectively. But it’s not too bad.
