May I please recommend my alma mater:

http://www.erau.edu/degrees/all-degrees.html

The best school in the world for military officers other than the service academies; and they have ROTC programs for all services.
Ill second that recommendation... every friend i had that went there (Daytona campus) was getting a top notch education.

Had to list and apply to 5 that are on NROTC list. Wants to do Mech Eng. Top choices are Cal Maritime and USD.

Apparently the military will come back and tell him which they'll support him at. I reckon cheapest would be their first choice. Not totally clear how the next step works. Waiting to see info that acceptance package.

the only stipulation i would have on Riddle in Daytona would be that you dont actually live in Daytona or Port Orange... both places are hellholes...

If possible, live north in Ormond or south in New Smyrna...
