Comments
It is incomprehensible to me that the hours of education a student receives in Leadership, Discipline, Teamwork, and Responsibility as an ROTC member are not as fully creditable as those of any course in the curricula. Lesson learned and experience gained in ROTC serve one well in any field of life's endeavor.
