What is the difference between an auditing ROTC Student and a participating ROTC student?

Did you have participating students or freshman in your unit in contracted?

I only remember one person. He audited our navigation course because he was interested in learning how to navigate a ship. I was not aware of anybody doing what you are looking into. Then again, I might not have paid much attention.

It sounds like “MidwesternHeart” knows a lot more about Army ROTC. I was Navy.

To me, it sounds like your priority is to get into physical condition for a military commission. So, your idea of doing this with the help of ROTC staff is excellent. If your university has Naval ROTC, you might want to talk with one of their Marine Corps instructors – even if you are not interested in the Marines! There is no doubt that the Marines are more into physical fitness than any other military branch. They exercise regularly together, and push one another. They are also are very generous with help. Even if your interest is in Army or Air Force, the Marines would probably love you to attend their PT sessions. And you would not even need to audit an ROTC class. You can be totally honest with any career Marine. Indeed, you should be. Tell them your goal. I bet they would help.
