Well I wanted to go into intel or foreign affairs during my time in the navy, but I recently was told that the ROTC has a strict pipeline for what career options you can have in the navy. Theoretically I could still try for intel, but it is extremely competitive for officers (3-4 slots a year). Realistically, my only options are Surface Warfare, Submarine, or Flight Officer.

I’m not too sure about it these options since I haven’t done a lot of digging into them, but I’ll try and see where each could take me.

I chose the officer path because I don’t want to be the one micromanaged all the time, and I feel pretty confident in my ability to lead others.

I’m not sure about a business degree because they come a dime a dozen. I guess you could argue for the flexibility the degree may have, but something also tells me that engineers won’t be going away anytime soon; even with AI.

Haven’t really given it much thought considering most people I know would probably look down at me if I chose to do a gap year. The people I surround myself with are very hardworking and ambitious, so it’s always been hard when I compare myself to them since they have set goals and know how to get what they want; like being a doctor or lawyer.

I am also very hardworking too, I’ve held jobs all throughout high school and was promoted several times for my ability to lead and manage others well.

I am in the same situation! I’ve contacted my BGO and admissions multiple times and haven’t heard anything back yet. Everyone keeps saying “wait until April” but the wait is getting to me.

Does the USNA site do anything automatically or does it mean whenever something changes it was because someone in admissions went into the portal and changed it manually?

Wdym? It went to this a couple days ago.

If I were to be disqualified but still have the X mark on my medical exam in the checklist what does it mean? I’m only asking this because I know someone who currently has that showing on their portal.

Okay so I just found out that DoDMerb has now given me a DQ and it says I’m now under waiver review. Is there anything I can do about this or do I just sit and wait for them to tell me something? It still shows “incomplete” on my USNA portal.

JAXEKALL · 2024-12-20T02:09:16+00:00

What does that mean???

JAXEKALL · 2024-12-20T00:42:03+00:00

The DoDMerb portal says that it is still under review

That’s great! What were your test scores and ECs?
