<p>Alright, this program is pretty necessary to me. In fact, perhaps my greatest motivation for attending SFS is the practical way I might use it in the military.</p>

<p>Although I'm still leaning heavily on Georgetown, I can't forget that Duke has a great NJROTC program, specifically with the Marines Corps. From battalion days to the officers in charge, I know that the Duke NJROTC is the type of program I'm looking for.</p>

<p>So can anyone fill me in on the specifics of the Georgetown NJROTC, specifically the relationship with the Corps. How do you begin? What are the hours like? What are the mandatory classes/programs? Is the campus supportive or condescending? Are there any advantages to being involved in the military so close to the capitol and the Pentagon? Are there more resources available to me, specifically regarding internships or intelligence units?</p>

<p>I know this might be a bit too specific, but I'd appreciate any help from whomever is willing.</p>

<p>Can’t speak firsthand, only from a very quick bit of research.</p>

<p>NJROTC? Isn’t that a high school thing? I’ll assume you’re talking about NROTC.</p>

<p>Georgetown only has an Army ROTC program on campus ([link[/url</a>] to Georgetown’s general ROTC policies), but cooperates with nearby George Washington University for NROTC (and Howard University for AFROTC). You can graduate to either Navy Ensign or Marine Corps Second Lieutenant. You can read more about the program at [url=<a href=“GW Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps | The George Washington University”>GW Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps | The George Washington University]their</a> website](<a href=“http://www3.georgetown.edu/sfs/bsfs/policies/academics/rotc.html]link[/url”>http://www3.georgetown.edu/sfs/bsfs/policies/academics/rotc.html), which notes they have over 150 men/women in training, and that you can expect an average time commitment of 8-10 hrs/week</p>

<p>I have a good friend that is going to be in the navy program in conjunction with gw. She spent a long time deciding between the navy and the marine corps, which was also an option. As far as specifics, I know more about navy just because that what she chose. She has to attend a naval science and training program three times a week at gw, but all pt is on campus. I think 8-10 hours was a good estimate as far as time. However, in regards to quality of officers in charge I can speak directly to that concerning the Marine Corps. I spent a week in washington with an assigned military escort, who happened to be one of the officers in charge of the program. He is an incredible man who I would be happy to put you in contact with. He definitely is better equipped to answer these kinds of questions.</p>
