Will the Navy like my Army JROTC history?
I have my heart set on joining NROTC in college then going into the Navy, but I was wondering if it will be beneficial to have Army JROTC on my record instead of Navy JROTC, because there is only Army at my High School. Do they prefer Navy or not care? Will it set me ahead from others if I try for the scholarship?

JROTC is JROTC, for the most part. I'm an AJROTC Cadet trying for an NROTC Scholarship, and quite frankly, I don't think it makes a difference.
It may not set you ahead, but, if your academics are strong, it shouldn't matter.

In addition, joining any form of JROTC will be beneficial. It'll teach you the traditions and courtesies of the military in general as well as teach you a lot of things that you'll end up learning anyway in NROTC. Not to say that JROTC and ROTC are in any way similar, but getting the mind-set and enthusiasm for the military will help. Good luck.

It doesn't hurt you as much as you may think. All branches respect 'service' as a cadet no matter what service they may have been affiliated with. I'm not a recruiter, but last I heard was that the branches recognize all cadet programs, but it's the time in them that matters. In example: The Army will promote you to E-3 when you have completed 1 year of JROTC and then enlisted. On the other hand, the Air Force will require 3 years of JROTC to receive the same pay grade. Not so sure about the Navy, MC, or CG, you will want to speak with a recruiter or scholarship officer about that. Have no fear, if you've put the time in you're good to go!

The Navy and the Coast Guard will give you E-3 after three (count them three) years of JROTC.
The Marine Corps will give you E-2 after three years.

OK, I need to find an official source on this one, since I don't remember from personal experience and another site I just looked at said three years will get you PFC. But I promise you, it is not one year.

No official source, and after digging, it has to be three years... Goes to show what some of these recruiters are capable of saying...
