The scholarship may be raised to 300k dollars

Can you transfer from a community college to a 4 year university and complete rotc in 2 years?

I hate this song

Air Force PLC? I don't think that exists

Hi! I'm currently applying to NROTC Scholarship, but I can't really find any information on going into JAD. That's something I want to do down the line but not entirely sure if the NROTC allows me commission into JAD.

So are you able to choose whatever major you want

What California colleges have navy rotc

In an average year, 9,000 people graduate from Harvard, but about 1,700 graduate from TBS.

Anyone advice for a prior service marine on what service branch they should do ROTC and commission in (MC, Army, Navy, AF)

Kind of a dufus. Suggest you DOR

My son is a senior high school right now and applying in the USNA. I m considering this NROTc . I think admission percentage are higher than USNA.

Could you do a video talking about how to get a rotc contract/ how to join rotc? Btw love the vids.

A few questions; Can I go thru ROTC, get the scholarship, and after completing college, go to the reserves, or do I have to meet a minimum active service requirement? 2: How hard is it to get an ROTC scholarship? I’m thinking of doing either Army or Navy, most likely Army, because of my want to do the reserves. 3: Is ROTC like JROTC? I’m in a Naval JROTC right now.

My nephew is having shoulder surgery and wants to go for the nrotc scholarship he's a junior in highschooler will that disqualify him for the NROTC?

Dude this video is awesome thanks!

During INDOC when was the height/weight taken and did anyone fail that and then fail the tape too? If so what happened to them? Great video, thanks!

Hey man how’s life going now??? You an officer?

Arctic Alpha 1-84, 2nd platoon. IOC 6-84. Laid the foundation for everything else.

I wish I saw this before I went through OCS lol. But honestly the struggle and accomplishment I had in learning and improving while there is kind of what won my Platoon and Company Staff over. It really was the best worst 10 weeks of my life. It didn't turn me into a new person, but brought the real me back and I'll forever be thankful for my drill instructors and my Platoon Commander. Great video, Semper Fidelis!

I tried applying for OCS a few times, but kept getting rejected. They expect you to have the leadership skills of a sensei, the strength of Superman, the brain of Einstein, and certain ACT/SAT scores even after you have already have a bachelor's degree.

I thought you were in high school or perhaps the upper class of college. After viewing your video, some of the information on leadership I would question but that is from being a SNCO with the Corps. But, overall, I'm glad I stayed enlisted. By the way, are there still '90 day wonders'?

What was the fastest 3 mile time at your OCS and what the average time?

great footage!

I want to be just like you in the NROTC and doing calisthenics. Great job man you greatly inspired me

I've had several prior enlisted Marines, mustangs, from green to gold program, great men great Marines, 8 of them out of 10 great guys. 2 of them becam blue falcons like crazy. I was for the most part the set it and forget it weapon for all my officer and SNCOs, but i always stood clear of buddy &uckers all day. We had a butter bar get married as soon as he got to the unit, not prior enlisted and right before Marine Corps birthday, he forced us all to go to his wedding, voluntold, you will be there you will participate its my day yada yada. He got transferred before or first pump, the other officers knew a blue falcon too. He only made ut to silver bar 1st Lt and never made Captain. I have a retired Major close to me I'd take a bullet for any day of the week. He who sheds his blood with me shall forever be my brother.

i'm in my senior year in highschool in california and I'm trying to get into the AFROTC but I'm having a hard time trying to get on track because I already talked with the military recruitment place and I got a 39 on the practice test should I switch to Marine ROTC or stay because I had autism for speaking at a young age but it's gone but should I switch tho?

Hey I know this is an old post but I just wanna ask a few questions. I am a current high school sophomore and have an average of 4.1 GPA. I am a Eagle Scout and on varsity tennis. Are my chances of getting a NROTC MO Scholarship high? If not what are my chances of commissioning as a college programmer? Is it possible that they will disenroll you if you don’t get a scholarship at some point?

I’m currently at 14 pull ups 3 min plank and 23 minute 3 mile. Would I stand a chance?

Do they give you leave on weekends towards the end of OCS? I heard they give liberty but I dont know how true that is...

I remember seeing your video when I was considering the Marines 8 months ago. It felt like I sign because I was also in my senior year at the University of Utah. My OSO called me today and said I was selected to go to OCS in September. I had to come back and watch this video again!

Thank you for this summary! :D Recently read the book from kindle, and I am working on these challenges right now. It's time to stay hard!

Air Force ROTC is called AFROTC.

Thank you for sharing bro. Very helpful

what happen if you can't climb rope or some obstacle course? Do they drop you?

So I just found out I was awarded the Fredrick scholarship so the nrotc scholarship only for hbcus, is there any difference between this and the regular scholarship?

Thank you for sharing your experience and being honest about it

Good stuff. I know this is two years old, but sounds like things haven't changed a lot in thirty years. I went through in '88 from OU NROTC. We were one of the largest NROTC units in the country at the time and had a very intense OCS prep "course" all run by midshipmen and the AMOI. I felt I was very prepared for the course. My biggest takeaway was to figure out what was important and what wasn't. For instance in our company the uniform rules for a typical day were blacked boots and pockets ironed. After lights out(8pm at the time) I would black my boots and iron my pockets, do laundry, etc.... We had guys in my platoon that would spit shine boots and starch end press utilities every night. Well in the Quantico heat that all goes to crap in about 5 minutes. I would typically have time to write a letter, get a few things done and be in the rack by 10pm. DO NOT WASTE EFFORT ON THE TRIVIAL!!! It is very obvious to the DI's after a bit who is putting out real effort. Listen to this guy. He knows what he is talking about. Focus on leadership skills over academics and physical fitness. Counts for 50% of your grade. That's not to say don't study and don't be in shape but leadership skills are where it is at. For example in my case, Surprisingly I was 4th in the entire company in leadership(which totally shocked me fwiw), mid pack in Fitness and top 25% in academics, and finished 10th overall and tops in my platoon. That said, no one remembers that stuff once you get through TBS or even to TBS, but if you perform, show effort and are genuine, you will pretty much be left alone. I ran into both of my Staff platoon Sergeants in the fleet and they remembered me well and favorably due to the effort that I put forth. Another thing, and this manifested in TBS more than OCS, don't bitch and complain. No one wants to hear it and it isn't what a leader is about.

If we had the internet back when I graduated from OCS back in the summer of 87’, my advice would’ve been stay out of the gym. Stupid me was a gym rat pumping mad free weights. 18” neck etc. I was the exact OPPOSITE of what condition you should be in to prep for OCS. I’d like to blame my OSO but I don’t remember whether he advised me about this. Anyway, I knew I was in trouble on Day 1 of PT when we had the old gold t shirts and scarlet shorts with our go fasters. They said it was a 5 mile run. WRONG: it was a 5 mile SPRINT. Jesus. Half way through I seriously thought I wouldn’t make it. I was 6’, 205. When I graduated I weighed 178. The civilian attire I wore TO OCS hung on me like drapery. Lesson learned, albeit too late. Beware you iron pumpers. To be successful at any Marine school you have to be able to run long distances, move your body up and over obstacles and of course do dead hang pull ups and sit ups. Dammit.

there is no "six week one" ... there is either PLC 1 (6 weeks) and PLC 2 (6 weeks), for a total of 12 weeks; PLCC (a combined 10 weeks), or OCC (which is 10 weeks). But I get it. I went to PLC 1 back in 1994... and the only reason I didn't graduate (as 2nd in my class), was in week 5 I lost the tip of my finger during pugil stick fighting. I was actually MEDEVAC'd to Bethesda. Crazy. I was the case study that cause the Marine Corps to have more "safe" equipment for pugil sticks. I was prior service Marines when I went, and I can tell you that all of the prior service guys found it was a joke. We were numb having been through Marine Corps boot camp. We recognized the games they played, and we didn't fall for the traps they laid. We did help the college kids (which I am assuming you were) with handling the stress and getting through the various challenges. We did have heat - Quantico is a hot and muggy place in the summer. We had heat casualties (and people got the silver bullet). We had people that had integrity violations. We had people suffer from peer reviews. It's all part of the fun and games. I was invited back in 1995 to do the combined course, but I chose to transfer to the Army and spent 22 more years in the service instead.

Hey I got a question, if I wanted to go to college for two years to get my associate's, then transfer over to ROTC, and go to a different college, is that possible? or do i need to get into rotc in highshcool

Hey man great vid, I'm an OCS applicant right now I was wondering if you had to do a polygraph at any point during the process and what it was like.

I know this is late, but when do you go through NSI? Is that when you receive a scholarship or the summer of your freshman year?

Go Utes!!

A Company 4th Platoon 1-75

0:30 Awww They get to ride in the big green bois!

Im a senior at the University of Utah, and Im considering joining the Marines as an officer. Thank you for the informative video!

Great Video with a ton of useful info. My goal is to get the Marine Corp NROTC scholarship, but I only have a PFT score of 200, however, I have a 4.0 weighted, as well as a 1300 SAT, along with being a national medalist athlete and multiple leadership positions (sports clubs etc.). If I have a good interview along with my current stats, would they be able to make up for this lower physical fitness score? (as the average accepted applicant is a 270) Thanks for the help!

Man this video brings me back

How many times do they give you a buzz cut at boot camp? I have a scar on my head and was just wondering lol
