<p>It sure is a good think that idiots like this don’t have an interest in good deals like West Point/ROTC etc. I’d hate to think a bumbling moron who didn’t want to be there would get such an awesome chance to have one of the most noble careers in existance, and may I add (in the case of West Point) a world class education. I agree, I feel sick. </p>
<p>I have had a lot of friends ask me why I would ‘waste’ five years and live in a prison where I might not be aloud to listen to music, watch TV or have a girl friend. Why would I risk dieing? I had a senior administrator at my school advise me twice not to get shot or anything. (He wasn’t joking). </p>
<p>A commission isn’t throwing away five years. I see it as a guranteed managment position by the world’s largest employer with guranteed health care, lots of benefits, housing, free education (including masters…75% of USMA graduates who serve for 8 years earn their masters in the military) not to mention guranteed advancement if you don’t severely mess up. And, yeah, you won’t get bored. You’ll always have that light at the end of the tunnel that if you don’t like you seniors, they will transfer you in a few months. </p>
<p>Yes, ROTC is worth it for you. But I don’t know if these individuals are worth the time spent by the ROTC programs looking into them.</p>
