[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Rotc makes college kinda miserable.[/quote] Can you elaborate? [/quote] I went to college on an Army ROTC scholarship and loved it. Yes, I was up for 6am physical training three mornings a week. Ok sure it wasn’t fun many mornings if I was up late studying (or out on a Thursday night) but more often than not it was no big deal and I’d get a good work out in. And I was with my roommates and friends. We’d often eat breakfast, shower and then go back to sleep. I wouldn’t trade the experience I had. And to echo other comments I was the youngest kid and didn’t qualify for financial aid but recognized the incredible burden my parents had with a sibling starting school the same year after a gap year. I was fiercely independent and wanted to do it my own way. Also, I declined an appointment to West Point in favor of ROTC to have a more regular college experience (and my roommate/ best friend declined the Naval Academy for same reason). [/quote]
