So, ROTC is pissing me off beyond belief, and I am considering leaving either next semester or next year.

1) Over the summer I spent $600 dollars to go to Leadership Academy and learn how to be a leader and improve our battalion. I spent a week in the desert with Marine DI's chewing out our asses with 672 other cadets, expecting to come back to RO and have a position of leadership in the battalion. However I get back to school to find out that I am to remain in the same position I have been in for the past two years as guide.

2) Horrible communication skills through the battalion. I was told by Chief that if I wanted to remain on Marksmanship Team I would have to be in 7th period, as well has needing everyone on the team to be in 7th period RO. So I have been telling everyone this who is one the team and wants to be on the team, as well as COMPLETELY redoing my personal schedule with the school councilor just to be able to maintain the team. Only to get told on Thursday that it ISN'T necessary to have 7th period to be on the team anymore.

3) This isn't so much an insult to be personally or a failure at anything, but merely an annoyance. The position of CO next year is guaranteed to be given to cadet Sturgeon, a guy who I have never gotten along with and cannot take orders from.

4) If I were to stay in ROTC and apply for the scholarship from it, I would be required to go into the military. Which is a career path I currently have no interest into going in to.

However it is a good program that has taught me a lot and the colleges really like to see students who have been in it even if that student did not receive the scholarship. So what do you guys think? Should I stay in or quit as soon as I can?
