Sorry. My name is John. Good to know others hate it too. Lol
Damn...thread blew up. I stopped paying attention after all the O-4's hopped on and started name calling...I'll give them that I was a bit dramatic though.
For all those in agreement, thanks. I was just trying to share my experiences as an NROTC Instructor so those eyeing orders can go in fully aware instead of happily ignorant as I was.

Why do detailers ask for preferences then? If every job in the Navy is filled equally well by whoever BUPERS decides to send, why bother asking at all?
It’s their version of a reach around . . . .
It's a ruse to make the service member feel like they're in control, like they have a say in their future, and to give the impression that the Navy cares about its people.
Don't be a brick.
Don’t be a dick.

Is op serious? I did rotc and graduated less than 2 years ago. I went to a college most people would consider a desirable to place to do a rotc tour/get a graduate degree. I and all of my classmates thought it seemed like a great deal for the JOs. Not very hard work, plenty of time to get a masters, high pay, chill front office. It's definitely a tour I would want if I could go to the right unit.
Have ROTC tours really changed that much in <two years? Or is it more that there are big differences between colleges?

I did a tour 10 years ago, hard work, able to get the degree, a bad front office and then a great front office. It was a good deal for me in the end. Seemed that there were huge differences in colleges. The big deal at the time was the indiscriminate IA tours. I think a lot of people troll for hot responses here.
Even as a mid, I thought that the instructors at my unit worked pretty hard for a shore tour. Maybe it was just my unit, but I clearly remember the instructors at pt with us 3x per week at 0545, then teaching 2 or 3 classes throughout the day. When they weren’t teaching, they were generally around for advising purposes and also helping out at our weekly lab. So they would be doing stuff until about 1600, then they would take night classes for their MBAs/MAs/whatever. So while it wasn’t terribly difficult work, it definitely did not seem like a cake tour by any means. Was my unit that different from others?
