[quote=Anonymous]D1 sports and ROTC would be difficult in my experience, but it depends on the ROTC leadership at the school. The upside to ROTC is a more normal college experience, and seems like nowadays different service requirements? Mine was 4 years active duty, but we were in a war at the time. I was on a full scholarship and majored in a non-technical discipline. I really appreciate and value the experiences I had because a college education would not have been possible otherwise, and having the extra stipend money and guaranteed employment was a relief.

I have tons of family and friends that went to the service academies, a few regretted not doing ROTC for the flexibility, holidays and full summers off, etc. but definitely didn’t regret being in the military. Most all became pilots, and if that had been my interest, I probably would have pursued an academy. I think sports would possibly provide more flexibility at an academy vs. a typical cadet, but that’s a question for the student-athletes.[/quote]
