    1. OML - order of merit list. Basically what things you do that the army cares about and affects your rank and what things don’t matter as much
    2. PT - be in shape beforehand
    3. Have good time management with school and ROTC
    4. Not all schools have an equal ROTC program
    5. Learn every task you can so that when they ask what job you want you know what you want and you are prepared. Being higher on the OML means more likely you get the job you want

    So you said the degree you WANT is more difficult so you went with an easier degree, how do you plan to go after the degree that is harder? Or are you still going to go after it? If so, what kind of benefits do you plan on using while completing that degree?

    It would have been more clear and helpful if you began by sharing your background. You were enlisted? How many years? What year in college did you begin ROTC? What program did you join? Results?

    Do they still care about how many sit ups you can do, since it’s getting phased out of the routine?

    If it is still the same as when I was in ROTC, the needs of the service come first in assigning branches and active duty. It was not known but when we made our choices for branches, we we told that Vietnam was winding down and some guys would get two years active duty and some would get three months. As it worked out guys who wanted two years got three months and vice versa. Also as far as branch selection goes, We had X number of guys getting a commission. DA sent down X branch choices. OML dictated mostly who got what. If you were on the bottom of the OML, you probably did not get the branch you wanted and you probably got Infantry.

      You’d probably need an age waiver but u can get in. I knew a guy that’s 33 with no prior service that got in with a waiver, so it’s possible. Talk to the ROO and they’ll should be able to help u out.

    Damn, people do not know what ROTC is. Okay so for starters, yes, you do have to cut your hair to Army standards.
    2. You do do PT (physical training) BUT you should be hitting the gym as much as you can outside of PT.
    3. And i cannot stress how different ROTC is and JROTC. ROTC are adults ready to go into the military as officers. JROTC are Boy Scouts 🤣. The JROTC kids who end up going into the military are just “another requisitioned youth” 😂.
