Q: CDR Lambert what would you tell your 18 year old self about applying for the NROTC scholarship?

A: There will be ups and downs, triumphs and tears. There will be times you think of quitting and giving up and you’ll question if it’s worth it. Be unapologetically yourself and know that even if you don’t know the next steps, you have joined something bigger than yourself. Trust yourself when people doubt you. Bet on yourself. The ideals of honor, courage, and commitment will become the guiding stars by which you navigate your life - trust them. Go out and embrace the adventure because the treasures you gain along the way will be worth it.

***Application is now open and I would be happy to answer any questions.***

Q: CDR Norris what would you tell your 18 year old self about applying for the NROTC scholarship?

A: Dear 18 year old Alyssa.... apply for all the schools and scholarships! You will want to have lots of options, but the best decision you'll ever make is to go Navy ROTC. You don't know yet what you want to be when you grow up (and to be honest, 40 year old Alyssa doesn't either)... but the Navy will be the best adventure to figure it out, see the world, make lots of new friends, and get paid for it.

***Application is now open and I would be happy to answer any questions.***
