Default Rotc

Hello, I am currently a sophmore in high school. I want to go into ROTC as soon as I get out of high school, just a couple questions:

Is there anything I can do right now to help prepare me for this?

What are some colleges that have good ROTC programs?

Where can I go for more information?


Thanks for any info.

USAF91,

Does your high school not offer an ROTC program? I know ROTC is offered at most high schools, you might want to check with your school. Other than that you can contact the local recruiters in your area and they can ***ist you.

Probably working out and being as physically fit as possible is a big one... being able to stick with a strict routine such as early bedtimes and early wake times is beneficial too. Making good grades is always a help and make sure you graduate high school and don't get into any kind of legal/criminal trouble. These things are obvious tho.

Believe it or not, you can google something like "prepare for the military" or similar and find lots of pages of info on exactly what you can do geared toward each branch of the service.

Good Luck to you!
