I'm going to be going to University of Arizona, anybody plan on attending there? Additionally, has anybody from the May NSI class gotten their orders yet? Thanks.

Got a quick question about NSI, when you graduate NSI on the last friday, do they keep you over the weekend and detach you on the monday or do you detach on the day you graduate? also, how much time do they allow you for transfer from NSI to your college? Thanks a lot guys

I graduated from the FEB class last year. As soon as the graduation ceremony was over (around noon) we were free to go. My bags were already packed and in my car. I walked out of the ceremony, changed clothes and left.

Everyone's transfer time will be different depending on when your classes start at your college. I had over a month to report to my NROTC unit, but some people had less than a week. Even though a month was alotted for me to transfer, I checked in as soon as I got there since all that was required of me was a sign in muster once a week until classes started. Don't waste your leave.

When did you receive this welcome package? I don't think I got that one.

Hey Blizzy, I had to call ed to get my welcome package. My FPO address apparently changed at my command or something so it came back to them. They sent it to my home address... unfortunately some how they got the wrong home address and sent it to michigan if I remember. I live in washington, so they sent it a third time and it finally got to me. 99% of the info contained in the welcome package can be found on this thread though. Let me know if you want me to email you a scanned copy if you can't get one from ed.

Does anyone else feel like time is DRAGGING? I am definitely looking forward to NSI... We have been down in Haiti supporting HA/DR for 2 weeks with no word of our return date. My ship is set to deploy in March and I was hoping to be able to stay behind to prep and move my family to Texas prior to heading up to RI for NSI in May. Anyone going to Texas A&M, pm or email me. barnettr@cg60.navy.mil

I dropped a 51-day leave multiple leave chit today... my command isn't too thrilled... anyone going to Maryland? I have been having huge problems getting a degree plan, to the point of get nasty hate grams from the student affairs director. I went through this same thing as an alternate last year and was quite reluctant to get it signed. So nice that these institutions care so much about active duty personnel.

Sorry to hear that the school is not military friendly. An alternative could be to go through the catalog yourself and make a degree plan that meets all the requirements in three years. The degree plan is subjected to change anyways because the university itself doesn't even know what courses will be offered each semester a year down the road. Once you get this degree plan done, just get one of the counselors to sign off on it. They will have very few excuses once you have done all their work for them.

I have a completed degree plan. I changed the dates and added one military prereq and sent it three times with different pleas to the SAME gentlemen that signed the SAME plan last year. He has refused on all three occasions and the last sentence on his final message read, "This will be the last response from our office on this matter.":icon_rage

I have one last idea and if it falls through this week, I will be at the University on Monday going from office to office with this plan in hand until I get a signature.

Wow, sounds like that dude is a real d***head. Do you really need the director of student affair to ok a degree plan? Usually an admissions officer, academic counselor, or departmental chair can ok it. I guess you must have exhausted some other options too, given how f@#$ing stupid this guy is.

Concour. KU gave me the same grief, got a hold of an Academic advisor in the Engineering School (the chair of the Civil Engineering Dept) and he had no problems writing one. It changed later, but it was enough to get me orders. He is now my academic advisor.

Anyone having issues getting a degree plan with CU? Or a better question, has anyone got their's approved through CU?
I have emailed and called the dean of Arts and Sciences and he has not even contacted me back. Everyone I have talked to have sent me his way....

Minnesota was more helpful than I could have imagined. They hand walked our applications and had our acceptance letters within a week. For the degree plan they had us do a rough draft of what we thought was going to transfer and say that we can alter it as soon as we start at the college. It was a very pain free process. As for UVA... not so much.

The Citadel was GREAT! I had everything knocked out in like two weeks. SUNY Maritime was my original choice and i would have stuck with them but they gave me the wrong degree plan and when i called back to check on it they said the original degree i asked for I couldnt do. Good thing I called or else i was going there under a different degree. Plus, they have yet to get back to me about my updated degree plan thats why i chose another school, i was seeing a recurring pattern. Anyone on here going to The Citadel? just trying to get some inside info.
