Is Corps of Cadets Worth It?

I am really interested in Virginia Tech, as it has almost everything I’m looking for in a college, I think I’d have a good shot of getting in (so I won’t bother posting my credentials). The one thing I’m hesitant about is the Corps of Cadets, as I’m definitely shooting for AFROTC and NROTC. My main reason for not applying to the academies is that I want to have a normal social life, instead of the military one while I’m in college. So I’m not sure the sucky social life and heavy restrictions are worth it, even though the Corps is highly regarded. Any opinions? Particularly from current/post Cadets or parents.
