NROTC selectivity?

Question

im only a sophomore in HS, i want a scholarship for NROTC would being an eagle scout help me, along with good grades and test scores, what do you do in your freshmen orientation, and whats the deadline to apply for a HS in 2010

Answer 1

If you are going for Scholarship, you will want many mathematics courses as well as physics, chemistry and science. You will need leadership experience, either in your Scout troop as Senior Patrol Leader, as well as school council. It will help if you have a sport, track, fencing, karate, basketball, baseball, rowing, something physical. You will have to be physically fit, you will be tested on running, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups. Start a daily training regimen now.

Contact the NROTC professor of military science at one of the NROTC schools in your state, and ask his/her advise.

If you are very serious about this, and your family has the funds, you might also look into a Naval Academy prep school. There are many along the east coast, tuition and expenses may run $6-18k per semester; but if you get a scholarship your family may recover this investment, as school can cost up to $250k in the end.

From your other questions, I gather that you are interested in flying helicopters; The US Army offers helicopter courses, as well as the USMC (I'm sure you know that the Marines are a division of the USN). You can also learn to fly helicopters from non-military souses as well. I believe that there is currently a shortage of trained, qualified helicopter pilots. You might check into schools in your area to see if they offer reimbursement from your college savings plan. Always look at all your options, don't settle on one path.

Good Luck

Answer 2

I doubt heavily you will possibly have a topic stepping into ROTC, the standards are no longer intense. Your dads provider does not come into play. ROTC is susceptible education militarily although, despite if i assume this is not any longer correct lots in case you will important in a technical container and bypass army. Get on it now nonetheless, locate out what your college needs in terms of place of work work, and so on and don't wait through fact those issues at times take months and consider out to be ahead of the means curve. it extremely is a huge thank you to pay for college and that they even provide your cash each month i've got self belief. additionally, know the legal accountability to the protection rigidity when you end.

Answer 3

eagle scout will only help so far as to prove you had volunteer/community service experience, nothing else.

Good grades, Advanced Placement courses(college Prep), sports and staying clean and sober( no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, no getting girls pregnant).

You need to start NOW with your school counselor getting the the process started. Ideally you need to apply as a rising Junior.
