Interesting article

[Will_T]

If anyone is interested, this is a pretty neat article on Nrotc, and its recent expansion, and it even gives the percentage of completed applications that were accepted (roughly 52%).
Here it is:

Thanks for the article. I was interested in the following quote:

"We have only five first class midshipmen (seniors) at Northwestern University this year, but we have 13 incoming freshmen. At Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) the numbers are similarly encouraging. We have 10 midshipmen first class who will be graduating and earning their commissions this year, and we have 23 incoming freshmen."

This is the same at my school. We have 4 seniors and started with around 15 if i remember right. The 2/c have similar numbers too.

I would be interested in the statistics for drops. How many after 4/c year, 3/c etc. Also reasons given. Seems if the drops were cut down, accessions for such things as submarines would be an easy-fill.

But then again, I have seen people drop because of the prospect of submarine selection as well.
