Why is NROTC so strict?

Wulaw, have learned through this board that every unit is different. My son's unit isn't anywhere near that intense. Yes, most are scholarship, yes....if you're not a marine you are probably an engineer (except for the guy who is going to BUD/s this summer, he's an econ major) but they only PT twice a week. Weds. AM and Thurs. PM and when you hit a certain mark, you are excused from the morning PT.

There are other things that are intense, there is a lot of "BS" or presumed "BS" stuff, but the orientation prior to starting in the fall is not voluntary, but it's not a week either (3 days I believe).

The top level staff at this unit is all new this year. We were very impressed with the XO, CO and AMOI who came on board. I just think they all do what works for their unit.
