I would like to hear some thoughts on the idea of being an AROTC Cadet and NCAA athlete.
My DS has accepted an AROTC scholarship to an state university. Now there is a possible opportunity to try out as a walk on for university sport team. When we first met with the ROO DS asked about athletics and was told that ROTC would work with the team in terms of workouts, etc. The coach also wants some clarity on how these 2 major commitments would mesh as well.
Is this a good idea? Would it hurt DS's overall Army points/scores? Would it be possible to manage the commitment to the Army, academics and a sport?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
