ROTC is something I'm going into right after high school. Not only do I want to serve my country, but being an officer seems like the right fit for me. There are many different opportunists doing ROTC as a program in college. Even the location of the college aids in training for cadets. This helps me understand and break down which choices of colleges would be the right way to become an officer. But what does an everyday for cadets on campus even look like? What will a day to day life for anyone as a freshman? Well let's check it out!
