ACTOR to NROTC??

AROTC-dad said:
We need a little more background.
  • Is he in college or high school right now?
  • Why would he be doubtful about NROTC/MO if he has a good GPA and fair SAT score (1260 with math and verbal, I hope).
  • If he is in college why not consdier PLC/OCS?
  • Why in your opinion, does a talent for acting/theater prevent him from being a Marine? *
* See Jonathan Winters, Lee Marvin, Ralph Waite, Drew Carey, George C. Scott, Gene Hackman, Harvey Keitel, Don Adams, and Bea Arthur. (I think that is at least three Academy Award winners in this list).

The Navy also has the AFN stuff that would not be a stretch for someone with a entertainment background. Another job that great for a person with a entertainment background is Public Relations they can be assigned to work with USO celebrities, roving packs of journalist, external and internal communications.
