I just wanted to ask if anyone knew anything about being a midshipman and a student at Brown. I had a talk with an official at Brown specifically regarding NROTC, and I got a few questions answered but I kinda still have some specifics I wanted to ask about:
How many people are currently in Brown’s ‘battalion’? I know 2015-2016 was the first year after a long hiatus for NROTC and Brown is only cross town to college of the holy cross, but knowing that a few other people are doing the same thing as you are would be nice.
Does anyone here plan on bringing their xROTC scholarship to Brown?
How do current Brown students feel about someone being closely associated with the military?
I think some will be a little more positive than indifferent. I think frankly most will be indifferent but be prepared for the occasional rabble rouser to be really inflammatory against you - even going so far as to call you a criminal in a BDH headline: http://www.browndailyherald.com/2015/02/05/makhlouf-16-rotc-return-criminals-2/
Just to clarify, Brown is not across town from College of the Holy Cross. College of the Holy Cross, which hosts the Navy ROTC, is in Worcester, Massachusetts which is about 40 miles away.
Providence College, across town from Brown, hosts the Army ROTC program.
