I honestly think they wanted to go through at first, but then just didn't like it and couldn't get out of the class at all. :(

A lot of people are stuck into the class. JROTC was the first thing you'd get put in if your chosen elective wasn't available, and a lot of people either switch out or just BS it for the credit. Trust me, there's plenty that are in it and hate it from the get-go.

They think it's going to be an easy A and it is, if you put effort into it. Otherwise expect to get yelled at by SGM Maison and SGM Smith everyday.

Even then, it's probably not a class I'd BS in. It'd still impact a person's GPA, so. :p

There were so many people like that in our program, usually called bums. They don't wear their uniforms, they don't cut their hair, they don't wear any of anything correctly… only caring about a credit shows how much of a shining failure you are if you're in a JROTC program.

As for my own track record, I did what I could with little to no help at all from my father (who didn't really care enough to take a pair of clippers to my head), and I managed rather well. Yeah, I slipped up a few times, but it's natural even when putting in an honest and valiant effort into something.

♥♥♥♥bags and profile rangers. No matter who you are and what you do you'll always come across those. Everyone is gonna slip up sometimes. I just wouldn't pay attention to them, they are going to drag themselves down.. . Unless your a specialist, We specialists are masters at getting away without shaving for a day lol.

Once you guys get out of training, the regulations go down to a almost non-existent level. Being squared away will still be a big plus when it comes to promotions, so I wouldn't recommend slacking off.


@G.U.Y
As for them not letting you join because your gay, that's ♥♥♥♥ed up.

My mother was a specialist from about two years in until she got out, serving from '93 to '01. She described to me that sergeants are underpaid for what they do and privates aren't in charge of jack, and SP4 (as she called it) combined a little of both in what's called the sham shield. ;)
 
Personally I've never been in anyway associated with ROTC. And I probably never will since I'm homeschooled.
 
College ROTC, along with OCS, is what makes active duty officers. Way different from JROTC.
 
Society's to credit for quite a few abnormalities, as the human social construct is far from perfect (yet oddly is getting more complex by the century). There's certain things that it's really at fault for, and other times people should reflect on themselves, as like Andy said its a convenient thing to dump your problems on. :P
 
Makes more sense than blaming everything that goes wrong in your life on "capitalism"

And now you know CarcharOdin pet peeve #10,010
 
Yeah, that stupid society. Always against human-economic relationships.
 
YEAH! SOCIETAL NORMS!

We'd have a bunch of objectiphilic (that's not a word, damn it) marriages out there if certain things hadn't happened how they did, you know.
