Realization: Maybe I didn't learn enough life skills from the Department of Defense schools I went to because they tried to make ROTC the main route to success? I remember there was a lot pulling me to join the ROTC.
@LottieVixen Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
@LottieVixen Basically a way to train students to become military.
@LottieVixen @Ulfra_Wolfe i was in rotc, its like junior army and sucks
@kellycrow @LottieVixen I just saw all the other kids being ROTC, watching their marches, surrounded by military structure-like buildings, and on military bases. It just seemed like a place where bullying would be increased 100X, and I had enough of bullying as is.
@Ulfra_Wolfe @LottieVixen also it definitely allows bullying, ebcause as soon as someone gets promoted a few ranks up they will start bossing around other ROTC students even outside of ROTC settings
@LottieVixen @Ulfra_Wolfe we had a cadet staff sergeant that smashed in someone's windshield and it got covered up because the ROTC Sergeant teacher made an alibi for him
@kellycrow @LottieVixen See, I smelled that right off the bat as a kid. That's why I never indicated interest.
