[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was my DS last cycle. When it became real, he had a total change of heart. I think it’s mostly the 17 year old brain and I was glad when his brain caught up. He would have been great at Navy but I’m glad he pulled out of the process because he was completely different when reality set in. Obviously I wish he could have gotten there before spending the hours and hours on that process. It really took away from other school applications (and a ED shot) but I think he had to go through the process so there were no regrets and that’s how it played out. [/quote]

Same with my DS last cycle after receiving nomination.  Decided it was not something he could go 100% in on after months of contemplating and giving it a lot of deep thought. We were very proud of him for that (being an adult about his decision process). Also received the full NROTC scholarship.  Fortunately for him, he kept the other college app process going at the same time. He's currently at a Top School (decided on not doing NROTC) living his best life right now and doing well with no regrets about his decision. If after four years he decides being a military officer is something he wants, he knows OCS is still an option.  Every kid will have their journey, as parents we have to let it be 100% their decision without trying to influence it in any way. [/quote]
