Hey everyone, I'm 17 and will be in my senior year of HS next year, I am very interested in NROTC (definitely doing it, even if I don't get the scholarship) and wondering if anyone here took that route. Most of the talk I see is about OCS, are the horror stories I'm hearing about OCS PT true for NROTC as well?? Not that I can't handle it (I've wanted to fly Tomcats my whole life so I can handle anything, just it will be painful as hell), and anyway my dad made it thru OCS and he was less of an athlete than I am but I am just wondering what I should expect. I'm in decent shape but not great, I'm not much of a runner at all--absolutely dead after a 7-minute mile. Not that I can't work on this (I ran winter track last year to get in shape for lacrosse, which helped a lot) but if anyone had any info to help me out that'd be much appreciated. Like I said I'm doing NROTC even if I don't get the scholarship and for whatever reason can't fly (the only reason I wouldn't is if I get DQed for some bs medical reason I don't know about now) but I've wanted to fly Tomcats my whole life (they just better still be around when I get out into the fleet!) Thanks in advance
