Can always take the commission after graduation as well, or keep going and get a direct commission if he did terminal.

If he wants to do nuclear engineering. It's a very big foot in the door after...

Yes we are deep into the ROTC process for Navy. Awaiting to hear from Air Force (although he doesn't really want to be in the AF). He is doing his DODMERB medical exams now for the 4 year scholarship. He has a couple medical issues that you and I would call very minor, but DODMERB calls them disqualifying so he would need to get waivers. Fortunately we are in a position financially to send him most places either way, but he really wants to be a Navy nuke officer.
