I am currently an electrical engineering student in NROTC marine option. I'm applying for scholarship and PLC currently, but doubt I will get it. If I were to graduate with a B.E. degree in electrical engineering, then enlist. Which MOS would I be able to apply my degree in? Is E2 out of PI the only benefit I would get from college?

I am currently filling out the paper work to join NROTC for next fall when i will be a freshman in college. I want to be a marine option, and i'm not currently applying for any scholarships. i was wondering if they have high standards of fitness for new individuals joining or if they expect to build us up to their standards. I am in decent physical shape, i was a varsity rower on my school's crew team. but i know im not quite at the marine standards.

i want to know if they would deny me from joining because im not at their high standards yet, or if they would accept me and train me up to their standards.

wondering what the difference is.

I have plans for next year to attend college. i was wondering if taking more than 20 credits (about 22-23) seems like too much to do, along with wanting to be on the rowing team and ROTC.

I want to join the marines, and next year im attending a college with NROTC and i want to join it as a marine option. I did not pursue the four year scholarship because i wasn't sure if i wanted to do ROTC or OCS. What i was wondering is if it will be very difficult to get into the NROTC marine option program. I think my grades and test scores are more than adequate with a 87 average and 1270 composite SAT score.

Also what level of physical fitness do you feel is the minimum i would need to get accepted? Not the actual minimums set by the rules, but more like the average accepted.

Is their any mental disorders that result in the individual needing power over others? If i was to explain it, it would be as the person likes being in control of another person's life, such as their actions and decisions. And if they didn't have a power or control of someone, that they replace it with animals. (none of this in an abusive way)

if there is any disorder like the one im describing, is there a name for it? or is are these traits im describing just a mess messed up person?

i want to become a marine. im currently a high school senior. i was trying to decide the best path. NROTC marine option or plc? what are the pros and cons to each? which one better prepares you for a marine career?

i was thinking of doing nrotc next year and want to know if i get more than just money out of it. i have no problem with paying for college (my father is a business owner willing to pay for it) being that money isn't any issue and im going to an instate state university, would you still recommend doing the scholarship and owing 8 years or just do it without the scholarship and owing only 3 years? also are there any benefits to doing scholarship other than money?

i need links to sites (not wikipedia please) for a research project. also if you could please explain it so that a high school student would be able to understand.

(im a student in AP biology) not asking you to do the project for me, just give me an idea of what im writing about.

which do you think produce better soldiers?

i want to take a nrtoc marine Option next year and was just wondering what types of things do they teach?

whats it like for them? is it living hell, difficult training, walk in the park? how difficult would you explain it? i know its obviously going to be hard, but how difficult? can you give a couple examples of the hardcore things they do? an example of something that is sort of easier on them?

I plan on doing a NROTC to become a Marine 2nd lieutenant. after graduation i get commissioned and go straight to tbs. I want to become a ground intelligence officer. when would i go through all the different training courses?

also please correct me if i was wrong in what happens. i just am trying to know what path i am choosing.

when becoming a usmc officer with a electrical engineering degree/ coast guard license what jobs are available?

i plan on going through nrotc as a marine option midshipman, and someone all ready said i would go Straight to tbs. and that i need to be enlisted to do special training. but is there a way i could possibly go through special training like to become a sniper even after a few months or even years of active duty service?

i want to do an rotc in college. i will be doing a Nrotc as a marine option midshipman. would i be able to do some special training schools? would i be forced to go straight to tbs? how or when would i get the option to take specialized training to become a sniper or something?

when you take rotc your suppose to do a bulldog course junior-senior summer. At the school i was looking to attend, SUNY Maritime College, they do a summer sea course for students trying to receive licenses for engineering and other majors. how would the 90 day summer at sea work out with bulldog?

please only reply if you know from experience what would happen durring this summer.

i understand that to become an officer in any branch of the military that you need a degree. but why is it that they wont let a sgt be an officer without a degree. i know they can go to college then come back and get the commission, but why not without it?

im sure a sgt who has served for 10+ years would make a better 2nd lieutenant than any body fresh out of college.

i plan on doing an ROTC. after I graduate I go through basic training and all that. Will i be able to choose an MOS? When will i get this choice? What choices will i Have?

Why is it that many enlisted soldiers have poor opinions of officers? I am currently a high school senior thinking of doing ROTC next year in college, and from seeing some posts on here and family comments enlisted persons seem to strongly dislike officers.

why is it many enlisted soldiers dislike officers??
