I’m in AFROTC but damn, the Marines sure can make a recruitment video
This is the path I want to take when I enter college. I want to follow my cousin in becoming a Marine officer. God bless all the service members out there!
@@suspiciouscanadian6478 Not hearing back is a good sign he's a marine now
look into USNA (United states naval academy) also! They have a part for just marines.
im doing this when I go to college next year, ive wanted to be a Marine my entire life and I see no better way than to do this. Ive been following a rigorous exercise every morning and im confident, willing, and ready to give 110% and to do whatever is necessary to complete this course. Its been my dream and I intend to live it out. Hoo-Rah!
I'm going to be a Marine, but my parents and I were both worried about my going to college. This seems like an answer to my problems... Thanks for posting!
@Ginge529 Thanks brother! Good luck to you too! This is gonna be one of the most important decisions we've ever made in our lives!
Good luck and God speed in your journey!
hello. I'm a sophomore in high school and I wanted to know how I can prepare for the NROTC application. like what should I do to better my chances of getting accepted and what requirements are needed so I can get a head start.
Ramiro Gallegos Strive to be a leader in everything you do, take challenging classes, get good grades, play a varsity sport, get a 1st class PFT score and you'll also need a qualifying SAT or ACT score. I believe it's 1100 or higher for the SAT they don't super score. You'll be interviewed and will have to answer questions about your experiences as a leader. Community service is important as well. Try to become an officer in a club at school. Check out the NROTC site for more details or contact a recruiter. Mine was super helpful.
So I see that this comment is a year old, so I presume that at this time you are nearing the conclusion of your junior year. At this time you will begin to prepare your package. Bear in mind that the NROTC Marine Option Scholarship is very competitive, so you must do anything and everything you can to make yourself stand out. The best pieces of advice that I can offer are that you make sure you are highly involved in high school, as much as you can be, and that you are physically and academically outstanding. Play up every strong quality about yourself. Submit both your ACT and SAT score, as they superscore the ACT/SAT. There are two boards for scholarship selection, so if you are not selected during the first board, correct and better your package for the second one. Lastly, don't give them any sort of sob story or talk about a medical issue. Good luck and PM me for any questions you have. I was selected during the February board of my senior year. :)
Ramiro Gallegos Not getting information about critical, life-altering decisions on UA-cam would probably be a start.
Varsity sports are extremely important if you want to be considered for the scholarship, or even the Academy, this cannot be emphasized enough. Good academics and extracurriculars are also just as important- clubs, honor societies, student publications, JROTC, etc. And if you don't get scholarship, don't be discouraged, you can still apply for the College Program (which is what I did) and still be a part of the unit, but you have chances to pick up scholarships late throughout you next few years.
@Antiairstrike Once you graduate from the NROTC program, you will be comissioned with the first grade of the officer ranks, a 2nd lieutenant.
You skip all the enlistment grade (Private- Sergeant). If you want to be an officer, don't enlist in the military because it's harder to go from enlisted to officer. Just get your college education.
@KiddRay808 might be possible. They look for a GPA around 3.5 though so you will really need to kick it up. They also look at your ACT scores. If you scored higher than a 22 or 1000 on the SAT you could probably get accepted as long as you can pass the physical fitness test.
@0909bram36 The Marine option is under the Navy's ROTC. There is no separate ROTC program for the Marine Corps, unless we're referring to JROTC...
@codeman127
I'm an MO at UCLA. I find that, especially in the Marine Option program, there is no time for athletics beyond IM sports. Not to say that you don't have a life, but realize that this program takes up a LOT of your time. You will be a midshipman before anything else.
Realize also that you have to compete and complete your studies at whatever institution; that isn't easy at UCLA, and you are going to have a lot of demands on your time.
I set everything up with my recruiter and my Njrotc instructor and I'm taking nrotc in collage Wen I graduate I really can't wait
i cant wait to go into the marines. this division of the great american armed forces has been my dream ever since i was about 12 years old. semper fi and god bless for everyone out there servein our country as we sit here and watch this video
I'm a white male from a pretty wealthy family and I got a 4 year Marine option NROTC scholarship so don't let these people tell you that you can't get a scholarship unless you're a minority. If its what you want and you put all of yourself into it like I did and train and work every day then you will get it.
My PFT is on October 6th. Im sooo excited!!!
You still can, DD form 368 - request for conditional release. Upon the condition you can get into college AND an ROTC program, you can be released from your enlistment to then fulfill your requirements as a Cadet. Good luck Marine if that's what you want. I'm joining you in November, I'll be shipping off to Parris Island, I'm enlisting.
@shnakeaneggs No if you decided not to join JROTC of any kind looks really well on any applications for jobs, college etc. Although you would get the most benefit from it by joining one of the military services.
it takes self-preparation as ell as the guidance of the returning 1/C Marine Option Midshipmen that are in their unit. They will train them along with the Marine Officer Instructor. But what is most important is that to be an Officer, the Maine Corp sets it up so that if you want it, you yourself will need to get it. This isn't boot camp, they're not going to push you through.
Virginia is also the place to also become a federal agent for the DEA
Simple... Marines.com There you will find the information you will need to start your journey. Semper Fi!
OCS is required by the Marine Corps for all officers except for Naval Academy midshipmen. I don't understand what you mean by your question. Other branches consider OCS and ROTC as separate programs. For the Marine Corps, OCS is required regardless of whether you do it by itself (PLC, OCC) or through NROTC. It's simply part of the training.
WOAH I'm definitely going to college after i get out of high school and (NJROTC) program...All my friends said they're enlisting after high school but ill show them when i enlist
@shnakeaneggs not at all! iv been an AFJROTC for 3 years and became a captain but i just found out that i might not be able to join the military but i can still put the skills i learned into use in a different job career or to help lead my life lol being a cadet actually got me my first part time job! soo no i dont think its a waste specially with all the friends i made and the fun memories i have from being a cadet, its the best thing i ever did in my high school life
@codeman127
You'll be a student first. It isn't a lot of ooh-rah training...if that's what you're looking for you ought to enlist.
You PT and you take some classes on basic Navy/Marine Corps history and doctrine. Beyond that, life as a Midshipman is the majority of your "training," and that is continuous; you'll learn how difficult it is to lead your peers, etc. NROTC preps MO's for OCS. Training happens at TBS.
I got goosebumps! I'm hopefully joining this next semester at UC Berkeley.
I hope you got accepted, partner. I just got accepted into their program for next semester as a college programmer while attending Cal Maritime
Unfortunately I didn't, but I pursued a different commissioning program and completed OCS this summer.
@Doofe2012 I'm a midshipman at the University of Illinois and I find that the schedule is very busy, however there are some of my fellow midshipman who compete in varsity athletics such as track.
Holy crap I am excited! This fall! oorah!
Unlike other branches you have to attend OCS before you are commidioned.
Wow.. i love that!
Good point.
Thanks a lot my friend
great program!
yeah you can go in as an Officer but id rather not Iv just enlisted. But either way your still a Marine and I respect that.
@SgtGuerraUSMC of course its hard if it was easy anyone could join but thats why its called THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE MARINES
Am in the NJROTC at my high school
How can i apply for nrotc option?
their videos are always cool.
I am a future 11B in the National Guard but I want to join the marines after college and planned on doing NROTC while in it. How would that dynamic play out since i would already be in the military?
@GOWnH3best to get accepted into the program the GPA isnt really looked at (as far as i know) they mostly look at you ACT or SAT scores. Although to get a scholarship for NROTC they want a GPA of 3.5
@STRONGMARINES It's UCLA, University of California Los Angeles. :)
I wanna make a difference and I wanna be a Marine and serve as a Marine and make a difference as a Marine
Always.
I'm going to do nrotc when I get to college
@2eucee enlist in the Navy. They are called Hospital Corpsman
OOOORAH! Btw what school is this filmed at, or is it a compilation of many? And do you need to get excellent grades to join, because i...dont have excellent grades.
I can't wait. Semper Fi
I'm in the process of trying to get into a good college with this program so I can fulfill my dream of becoming a Marine Officer.
It sucks being disqualified from military service when there's opportunities like this out there.
I’m joining my marine Jrotc nest year
This is my future. Ive prepared a long time for this, applied for the scholarship and waiting. No matter what people say/think about me the nrotc Marines is what im gonna do with my future.
I want to either enlist after high school, or go to the USNA as a marine
Can you swim in the NROTC marine option orientation
💪🏻
i agree with you good sir, Oorah is the Marine, and trust me my dad is a Marine and im in this for the marine to, so yadig2012, if u don't know what saying is right don't say it at all :)
Two questions. One, can I play a sport and be enrolled in NROTC at the same time? Also, what are the chances of being able to fly as a pilot in the marines (helicopters specifically)? Better chances than the army?
A recruiter of Officer Selection Officer would be the best person to answer your question. You can request more information here: usmarin.es/mEFRhA.
Correct opinion guy, yes you can play a sport while participating in NROTC. It is encouraged, since it will keep you in shape and probably improve your PFT score, depending on the sport. With regards to flying, that is determined after OCS, usually at TBS, and you would have to list your MOS in order of preference. I don't know how your MOS is determined in the Army, so I can't help you with that.
Correct opinion guy the army is different you get your mos during branch night look it up on UA-cam
How can I talk to a marine about doing this (or who do I call)? Also how do I become a poolee?
xGoPro1 To enlist or discuss opportunities in the United States Marine Corps, fill out this form (bit.ly/PonpTp) or call 1-800-MARINES to request more information.
@therustyduke it's actually oorah.
@suzukikid655 It depends. I am going into NROTC Marine Option this upcoming year without a scholarship. I applied for the four year scholarship but didn't get it. They seem to be really cutting back on giving four year scholarships out. I was a pretty competitive applicant. I am going to be in what is called the College Program for ROTC, which is the exact same thing advertised here just without scholarship. However, I'm going to apply for the three year scholarship when I can.
Why do they have to attend OCS if they are going through ROTC?
I didn’t take the sat or act but got accepted to a university with a nrotc I have a 3.2 gpa can I still do the nrotc
Do people actually fail the OCS during their junior summer ? I’m a freshman at a senior military school and I’m doing NROTC MARINE OPTION. I need as much advice as possible.
Yeah, a lot of candidates fail out. Mostly during PLC Juniors or OCC though. If I'm not mistaken, the pass rate for male officer candidates at Bulldog OCS/PLC Seniors is 90+%, at least in recent years. A lot of the harder stuff at OCS isn't even graded anymore at OCS, so if you've had NROTC for 3 years you shouldn't have any excuse to fail OCS (unless you get injured).
I want to do this...
semper fi marines oorah
NROTC and PLC are the way to go for Marine Officer. The Academy dont go through the same training as we do but still get 2lt smh
getting the scholarship itself is pretty damn hard my friend is doing this program and i am doing the enlisted to officer program
I hope I will make it to be a Marine officer and if I do I hope I make a good one.
I wish UNCW had this
No mace bro maybe in the coast guards and the army but us... not us
@SgtGuerraUSMC Is it hard as enlisted boot camp?
Marines are the best..
OORAH !
@Antiairstrike after 4 years of college and completion of ocs
Wait what? can sum1 answer this question? He said after successfully meeting the mental and physical challenge of the NROTC you become 2nd leuiteneant...
Hello, I'm a sophomore at my high school I would just like some advice on how to apply for the scholarship and just really help on a head start.
You will not be able to speak with a recruiter or Officer Selection Officer until you are 17 (or 16 and a Junior). However, marines.com is a great resource to help you prepare for life as a Marine. Learn more here: marines.com/becoming-a-marine/officer.
Also I would love to try out for special forces if I can can somone give me advice about that my running time is not bad the fastest time I ever ran was 3 miles in 18:09 I can do 12-14 pull up's my push ups and sit up's how ever arn't that great could someone give me advice on this as well to be able to do more. The last question I have is What ASVAB scores do you need for special forces like Navy seals, Army rangers, MARSOC Marines.
Just offered to apply for this program which i will
Why can't you be red and green colorblind?
i want to apply for this program im seventeen and i dont know where to start. can some one please help? when and how to i apply for this?
im not sure if i want to do army rotc or marine please give opinions
So once you graduate from college and the marine rotc program where do you request for SOI
+Cooldude34oo After graduation from recruit training, Marines attend the School of Infantry (SOI). Those with an Infantry Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) are trained at Infantry Training Battalion (ITB) over the course of 52 days, and those with a non-Infantry MOS are trained at Marine Combat Training Battalion (MCT) over the course of 29 days. Upon completion of SOI, non-Infantry MOS Marines attend their MOS school, which entail differing lengths, graduation requirements, and locations. All Marines are then assigned to a unit with a Permanent Duty Station (PDS), and may be deployed overseas if their unit is ordered to do so.
Does it mean you sort of advance to that rank in NROTC to have the feeling of leading or when you join the marines you actually become 2nd lieutenant
I didn't do too well in high school (overall GPA under 2.0) I'm planning on going to a community college for my associate's degree to get my education in shape...and then transferring to a university for my last 2 years of college and also attend NROTC (marine option of course) for PLC...is this possible?
What's the max age limit for NROTC?
Well I am doing this thing called the Leaving cert next year which is the same thing as a high school Deploma I'm still in high school by the way there is another question I have about obtaining a security clearance will they be able to get my records here in ireland I had to go to a psychologist for a few months also would I not be able to get it I am a Citizen of united states and I lived there for 11 years and I'll be moving back by the time I'm in college.
@shnakeaneggs It wouldn't be a waste, but I seriously doubt you've been through it because there is no such thing as "MCJROTC." There is "NJROTC," which is Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy, that's why it's a "corps."
If I got into the ROTC program and I don't take any money can I get out without consequence?
+Donovan Patterson The best person for you to talk to is a Marine Corps Recruiter. You can request more information here: www.marines.com/request-information.
Watch the video and you find out
Where can i find a list of schools that accept NROTC?
Maybe it should be intimidating so you'll know what to expect
@airman355 UCLA is where
@baykobear .....why?
Can you still get accepted to the marine rotc from like navy rotc because I want to be a marine but I'm in navy rotc.
Let me get this straight. You can do NROTC, but not do OCS and be enlisted?
Can I be in reserve after i graduate from college from the NROTC program as a officer or do they pick for me? If they do pick for me what are the chances of going to active and reserve?
A recruiter or Officer Selection Officer would be the best person to answer your question. You can request more information here: usmarin.es/mEFRhA.
so what would you think the average GPA for someone who is accepted to NROTC
holy crap ssgt dovidio is in this video o.o
i asked him for an MRE today.
Then whats the point of taking rotc in the first place?
I am personally an Army/AF guy - BUT I LOVE how the Marine Corps always have the best recruitment videos ...
