Norwich Strong - Updated

[@CPTJason01]

As an NUCC 2003 Alum, this is the most motivating video I have seen from NU in a while. Keep up the great work, we are all waiting for the sequel. ESSAYONS!

[@Kat101991]

This video is fantastic! I am going to vist Norwich on April 24 during my Spring Break and I am seriously excited. My mom works on the military base near my town, both of my parents are retired Air Force, and she works with a Major that attended Norwich and he is convinced that once I visit, I wont look at any other colleges...this video just heightened my desire to attend Norwich that much more. Great job!

[@nucc98]

Yo Delmas!!!! Que Pasa!@? As another '98 grad from the Corps, I can say I finally see a video that captures what I remember as a genuine Norwich Experience...good job guys!

[@stokes771]

I would just like to say I am a Cadet at Norwich and I produced most of this video with the help of a few others. I am not saying that Norwich is what it once was, or that it is a place for everyone, however, it still requires more effort for students then the avg college out there. This video is a representation of some of the things I have seen at Norwich, and no matter what anyone thinks about the school, the pride, the emotions, and the effort put forth by some of the cadets is very real.

[@NorwichGrad97]

Hang tight, soldier. I was prior service as well before I went to the Wick as a rookie at 22 years of age. My friends called me grandpa. Just play the game until recognition. You may not see it now, but the Corps and Jackman will appreciate your real-life experience as a soldier when you become an upperclassman.

[@puleo134]

ill be a rook in the fall of 09 and i cant wait! this video is a true inspiration

[@business209]

I agree. People often critize what they know nothing about. I respect people that came from not just Norwich but Citadel, Westpoint and all military academies. One of my biggest regrets is that I transfered my ring year for personal reasons. If I could change all that I would. Norwich Corps of Cadets are the BEST!

[@Rinachiyya]

Mazal Tov to all of you. We are so proud of you.

[@MrUsna2018]

They showed this in my NJROTC class today,This is sick. I can't wait for my acceptance letter.In like two years =p.

[@slipeloi]

My brotherand I will be up there on the 18th of march to tour the grounds and stay with one of the cadets. Father went now I am trying to go.

[@paintdataint]

my cousin went here. and now he is a green beret. they did something right.

[@NorwichGrad97]

You're (aka you are) absolutely correct. "Wallie" (Professor Wallace in the Engineering Dept) would have jumped down one's throat and come out the other end for this error.

[@deshawnjamison2013]

Just applied on 7/13/12, . I hope I get in. I have..... 5 years of jrotc 2.9 gpa Wrestler Black belt in various martial arts Boxer Community service Work experience Leadership experience 21 on ACT joining a club or two when we get back to school 8 letters of recommendation 63 on ASVAB..... I know my GPA isn't the best but, alot has happened, and I have had to come through adversity time, and time again. It would mean the world for me to get in.

[@anjiluhsings]

very nicely done!

[@E310FLWMO]

I like this video because it represents what values Norwich is trying to present via inculcation. Still, some of the posters are correct about their comments - when I was there in 1993, there was something that felt wrong and disorganized about the place; after determining that I couldn't afford to pay for the second year, I returned to "the real world" of active duty and never went back. I do miss my Rook buddies, though.

[@Gecko1230]

Yeah i love JROTC YEAH i cant wait get into the army and become an inteligence officer woow 5 years of my life as a young marine 1 year in JROTC and 3 more jrotc and then 4 years of rotc wooow im on a roll

[@laurenburns371]

This video makes me so much more excited. I'll be a Rook this fall! :) NROTC Marine Option

[@bigtruckguy3500]

We've got a handful of folks at Texas A&M that are like that too. They only come for their contract and don't care about the traditions and history of our Corps. Sadly, I see it occurs at other senior military colleges. That's why I have some great respect for those that choose to be cadets without having an intention of going into the military. At least the ones that continue to improve themselves and their Corps until their last day in uniform, not the ones that get fat as seniors. Gig'em!

[@bigtruckguy3500]

I almost went to Norwich, but then I got accepted to Texas A&M. Joined the Corps here. Glad I did. Norwich would have been my second choice though, it's a good school.

[@colonelsanders7]

I was just referring to you're comment saying that after rook week you don't really do shit. I agree that the corps doesn't do "mil-skills day' all the time, and that may be the only time that many cadets do anything. All I'm saying is that there are groups like MCW, Rangers, Spec-ops, Seals, Semper Fi where people can pursue what they want.

[@Alexn1067]

thank you for the info, perhaps the joy of military service will exceed the lack of the social atmosphre. I have always been pro-military so perhaps it is the place for me, I just hope that when all is said and done that I will have no regrets. again thank you for your comments they are helpful.

[@Alexander121691]

@chimidto No buddy, it says 1/10 OF 1%... which is one thousandth... but hey honest mistake.

[@vampirekisses95]

That is so cool! I still want to join the military. Is this a good route to go?

[@stokes771]

I have seen positive and negative comments to this video. Let's clear a few things up. Yes, Norwich is a military school; no it is not part of the armed forces. It's not about that, Norwich is about sacrifice and challenge. Everyone here made some type of sacrifice to endure it, and had some type of challenge to finish it. At the heart of it all, it is about a bond and an inner belief that anyone can face adversity and succeed if their heart and mind are willing to believe in a common goal.

[@Aguns61793]

@EffoRTL3zZ NICE! I got mine a couple weeks ago too! congrats!

[@rneilsen]

I love a Norwich guy.

[@Diabolical05]

im from south florida, wanting to go to this college..to bad my parents wont let me D:

[@stokes771]

Well my friend. I offer this, while we have been playing military for the last 188 years many of our brothers have shed blood on the battle field. Perhaps, even you, if your in the military have seen a Norwich man or two on the field of battle. So, that being said, I would say the one's who don't make it home to play land are the toughest of all. And Norwich has many...

[@Alexn1067]

Any norwich cadets here, help me out, I was accepted at NU, but am on the fence between NU and Michigan Tech in that both are good schools, but one is military life, the other civilian, I have always planned on serving on active duty, just not sure if I want the service to be a part of my college experience. Send me some advice or info if you can.

[@Skydivingkittens]

@Diabolical05 Why not?

[@MDPinsonn84]

ha...i have heard that countless times

[@stokes771]

Well, not to stop you from your rant, but you are aware that ALL cadets have to be in ROTC to be in the Corps. Also, you may want to do some research as to where ROTC comes from... I'll give you a hint, Norwich. Thank you for your imput on our video.

[@zaccarodavid]

Hey I am applying for Norwich and for the ROTC scholarship, can anybody who knows about this help me out and answer my questions? I would really appreciate it.

[@los314]

If you're going to make a video promoting an institution of higher learning, please know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.'

[@MrUsna2018]

The other day*

[@Skydivingkittens]

@san8354 You should have let your son do what he wanted to. You should never force your child to do what you wanted them to do. He's a man now.

[@colonelsanders7]

I'm sorry but you seem to be a hypocrite. You say you are disappointed with the school, because "A lot of cadets are very arrogant and rude and many act very immature" Yet your comment reflects that you fall under that category yourself.

[@Clancy192]

Was a great school. Current Jackman leadership sucks so much.
