yea my package is supposed to go before the review board this week, but i know i might not hear from them for months
In regards to my last post:
I should elaborate; by the time they had gotten to looking at my scholarship, my top choice was Villanova which had already filled their scholarship billets. I finally called up, and a Sr. Chief told me that the hold up on my notification was that they were waiting for people to decline their offer to Villanova's program so they could offer me a scholarship there. At the same time though, he said that was very unlikely and told me if I changed my second choice to my first I'd probably get it.
As the story goes, I change Penn State to my top choice, and within two weeks I'd say, I'm awarded the scholarship there.
Lesson learned: don't fear calling up and asking what the situation is with your scholarship. Don't be incessant about it, and be polite, but don't fear asking.
Again, best wishes.

Who did you call, DanMav? Did you call your recruiter (the Sr Cheif, I'm assuming) or did you call the Navy directly through their 1-800-NAV-ROTC number or whatever...
Another young Jedi has learned a valuable lesson. You'll find that just about anyone in the Navy is willing to help you provided a little courtesy is extended in exchange for their time. Good on ya, congratulations on the scholarship, and good luck!
Ah... I think it was a Sr. Chief that worked with a LT on scholarships for the NY-CT region. I know he was up in Buffalo, NY, so it was like a wide district kind of thing, as my county borders CT (ie: not close to Buffalo). To be honest, I don't remember the specifics.
And Goober, if you're congratulating me, thanks, but just to clear things up, I'm at the Academy right now after having done a Foundation year, so anyone taking my words, take them with a grain of salt, as I've been out of the NROTC loop for nearly 1.5 years.
