<p>S1 commisionned through NROTC at a big state u. in May. He had many opportunities for leadership experience throughout his four years. Each year the midshipmen were given more responsibilities in the running of the unit. We have no experience with USNA so I can’t compare. Since there are not nearly as many midshipmen in the ROTC units, I would think there would be less competition for leadership positions. </p>
<p>One of the guys in S1’s commissioning class was prior enlisted subs. He really did not want to go back to subs after commissioning but ended up there anyway.</p>
<p>S1’s NROTC unit had great officer leadership. S1 got his first choice on service selection day in a very competitive branch. He worked hard for it but gives one of his ROTC officers a lot of credit for helping him get there.</p>
