I'm doing a short speech on NROTC as a commissioning program. My audience is high school seniors. I'm more familiar with like AFROTC and ROTC, where JR year, a cadet would attend field training and then SR year they would obtain a contract and commission upon graduation. In NROTC do you refer to yourself as a cadet, or a midshipmen, or is that interchangeable? I see midshipmen on my ship sometimes and wonder at what point they are at in their college experience. Is it a JR year thing, or just a summer opportunity? Mandatory or optional?? Thanks for your video, its giving me a better idea of how to represent NROTC.
once you take your oath after passing DoDMerb your officially a midshipman, but i'm pretty sure they just call us all midshipman anyways. I haven't heard the term cadet being used. They use that term at Maritime if you are in the regiment but it doesn't have anything to do with the navy. Midshipman do different types of summer training but for my specific program I jus have to ship out on my school ship the TSES...
collin q it’s not a bad idea as long as you think you’ll be a good match for each other. My roommate is joining next year so our schedules will be more in line. You can both wake up together for pt and not disturb each other.
Yes and no. Not everyone gets scholarship but you can still commission. They don’t just let anyone commission tho. Needs of the navy are a factor and your performance. Odds are if you are in the unit and go through all the college program classes you will commission
Hi, active duty navy here. Do you know anyone in your NROTC program using the STA-21 program? I'd like to work towards getting a commission but I'm not sure what to expect in terms of NSI orientation, tuition, school selection, etc.
Calvin Van Peterson I don’t know anyone personally but there are a decent number of STA-21 in the unit and I know it’s a minimum of 3.0 GPA while in the unit. If I find someone to help you I will, in the meantime apply for it, thanks for your service
Calvin Van Peterson I'm a MIDN at UPenn. It's actually a 2.5 minimum GPA generally, but can be higher depending on the program you select. All of that's on the STA-21 website www.public.navy.mil/netc/nstc/sta-21/program.aspx and unfortunately I don't know any officer candidates to refer you to talk to
@@allancate7733 Thank you, it always seems like everyone knows someone who knows someone who went through STA-21 but I can never find the actual officers who went through the program
If I go to a school that has Nrotc and I don’t get the scholarship can I join like my freshman or sophomore year while I pay for my college but still commission??
G-low for me I have classes that pertain to my commissioning, I had 1 class for the first 2 semesters I was in the unit. They weren’t that bad it’s a regular college class. Then you have lead lab every week usually Friday morning, and pt every Wednesday and Friday morning. I have one more class for my commissioning program but active duty (non reserve) people will have more classes, I think 1 every semester. If you can learn a little time management it is not hard. It doesn’t take up your entire life,
yest thats the active duty program. But also I can put in to go active for 5 years or so once I graduate. Its something I will consider once I get closer to graduation. Right now tho I am thinking I will do shorter billets of 30 days to 6 months or so when I am not working. Billets are cool because you can go active duty for a period of time but then go back to reserve duty.
@@jstoner1928 That would make sense considering the program im in now, but I heard intelligence is cool also. I like the short billet option too though becuase I could stay SSO and I wouldnt have to switch communities. Whereas if I went active I'd have to choose a new one.

What's the financial aspect of NROTC? Like did you get a scholarship, or what?
some are on full tuition if you get scholarship which is competitive.... I'm in a different program.. SSMP I only get a year paid for
Do you recommend dorming with a fellow midshipmen of not?
collin q it’s not a bad idea as long as you think you’ll be a good match for each other. My roommate is joining next year so our schedules will be more in line. You can both wake up together for pt and not disturb each other.
When you finish NROTC do you have to enlist in the Navy?
Legendary you get commissioned as an officer
Seamus Graham Okay thanks
Can you still commission without the scholarship? Are you also guaranteed active duty afterwards?
Yes and no. Not everyone gets scholarship but you can still commission. They don’t just let anyone commission tho. Needs of the navy are a factor and your performance. Odds are if you are in the unit and go through all the college program classes you will commission

Calvin Van Peterson email me at Allan.cate222@gmail.com and I can forward you to a SWO Lieutenant who went through STA-21!
If I go to a school that has Nrotc and I don’t get the scholarship can I join like my freshman or sophomore year while I pay for my college but still commission??
Does the take international students from other countries that want to study at the academy?
There are some international students here at Maritime, yes
If i do NROTC can i commission in the Marine Corps
Tortilla yes! There is a marine option for NROTC. It is an active duty program, very challenging and rewarding.
@@SeamusMaritime Yes I had been curious about this too, cause a lot of NROTC videos are made by future Marine Officers.
Are there NROTC programs at high schools or just one school?
They’re at some colleges. Some colleges has all 3 rotc programs
All around the country
Would NROTC take up most of your life during college

@@SeamusMaritime Thank you
are you that polar express kid with the glasses?
no.... i'm his brother
Hey does everyone in ROTC go to the reserves or straight to active duty
College program and scholarship for active, SSO= reserves. But some SSO switch to active and put in a package
do you have the option of doing active duty upon graduation
yest thats the active duty program. But also I can put in to go active for 5 years or so once I graduate. Its something I will consider once I get closer to graduation. Right now tho I am thinking I will do shorter billets of 30 days to 6 months or so when I am not working.

Seamus Graham lit thx for responding are you planning on being a swo?
@@jstoner1928 That would make sense considering the program im in now, but I heard intelligence is cool also. I like the short billet option too though becuase I could stay SSO and I wouldnt have to switch communities. Whereas if I went active I'd have to choose a new one.
Is this for marines as well
Yes there is a Marine Option at my school, it’s an active duty option
Do you have to serve all 8 years active or could it be in the reserves?
You can do all 8 in reserves if your in a reserve program
