I have to disagree with you on "nobody is going to care where you went to school," "no one is going to ask you," and "they are not going to care about the ring on your finger..." In my experience, 1976-1996, WP always tugged the needle in assignments, prime posts, and opportunities. One WP officer I served with in Germany referred to ROTC officers as "Summer Hire." On the other hand, your information is excellent and I appreciate it. I am working with 6 seniors pursuing service academies for 2025 and I forward your videos to them.
Sorry just curious, does ROTC allow you to have preference on what profession you could have and where you could be stationed(like the academies) or do they assign them? Also thank you for all your content, parents told me they aren’t willing to pay for anything so I have been looking at service
If my main goal is to go work in the maritime industry through USMMA, is it still worth applying for an ROTC scholarship or is it better to just apply to other maritime colleges?
Best channel for service academy info. Your no-nonsense tone is humorous, but also gets me motivated
Thanks! Please let me know if there is a topic that you would like covered. If I can dress it I will.

Thank you for feedback, it's appreciated, and thank you for passing on my videos. Is there a topic that you would like me to speak about?

I suggest you contact ROTC directly and set up a call or meet with them to discuss career options

If you like please send me an email for a detailed response. I will be making a video on the Merchant Marine Academy in the near future.
