Any of you take JROTC in Highschool or ROTC in college?

I'm just wondering how many of you guys have taken JROTC or ROTC during your school. I took JROTC for 2 years in High school and managed to hop to the rank of Cadet Corporal. If I stayed another year I would have made it to Cadet Staff Sergeant, but I dropped out to move on to a technical school to get my A+ and Cisco certification. So please do tell, if you were ever in these classes and share your experiences.


To me the funnest things were the punishments in that class. Like if we ever cussed in the trailer or stupidly in your uniform. They'd make you do duck walks around the trailer, or make you sit there and say over and over again to a tree "I am sorry to have polluted your hair with my foul words.." Or something along those lines. Usually it was just keep doing PT until I am tired of watching you. Class taught me a lot about how the real world would be. Anyways, I sure do hope to hear from you guys.

I just read your post. I participated in ROTC while in school, at the college level but, that was awhile ago and these programs have certainly changed since then from what I can tell as far as enrollment is concerned. And equipment and training has certainly seemed to evolve making the Army ROTC program much much better for the participant.

A slight glance at the title of your thread and I thought you put JRTC (Joint Readiness Training Center at Ft. Polk) as in where you train up before deployment! lol...

I am currently in AFJROTC at my high school and I'm C/Staff Sgt. I plan on going into the military as a CID agent or EOD.
