<p>After my son got a CN from USNA for 2013 in May 2008, shortly after we got a call from NROTC. Kind of funny looking back on it. They said we applied to NROTC we told them we did not, we went back and forth several times. Once we figured out what was happening it was cleared up. But the NROTC rep had no idea that we applied to USNA. We had no idea our getting a CN was considered a NROTC application. </p>
<p>What the combined application did for us is get us into the DODmerb exam a lot earlier. In fact we completed the DODmerb exam before we finalize the USNA application. I think its a good idea but in the PA application they should notify applicants its also a NROTC application</p>
