I was in CAP when I was in middle school and people did this to me. I would just look at them like "really? I'm like 14."

[@cj5880]

Because everyone in rotc and jrotc are cocky little fuckers that think they are better than everyone and think they can call them selves marines and soldiers even though they dont deserve the uniform if they haven't earned it

[@mk-1579]

TheAtheistSwine Most of the best officers come from ROTC, while the worst come from Direct Commission. Sure they can be cocky, but they have better leadership than those of Direct Comission, who come into the military knowing nothing about it. And some of the ROTC have prior service experience. That's the path I'm currently taking. ROTC makes good officers bc they spend more time learning true leadership and the Army Values. (I'm in the army, but the same can go for other branches) And some in ROTC already live those values due to prior service. The Direct Commission, they're the worst bc they come in not knowing anything. They're children with power.

[@brendongomez1259]

I was in Army JROTC and had to do an event in town in uniform. Driving home I stopped to get gas and snacks... I got a "Thank you for your service." I think it gave me cancer. Now I'm in the real military and every time I hear the "Thank you for your service" all I can help to think about how empty it sounds. Its almost like people ONLY say it because they feel obligated too. It drives me insane especially coming from people who would never rase their hand to join. Only people that it puts a smile on my face are little kids and old people.

[@andrewcho9779]

Its so funny, the first time I got my ACUs I thought I was a complete badass and so did most of the cadets in my class. I didnt mind wearing it in public and thought it was cool showing off. After a few weeks of doing that, I honestly got so bored of it and felt like a complete idiot. I was more excited just getting back to my civilian self rather than stand out in the crowd.

[@Willysmb44]

+Andrew Cho Yeah, when I was in ROTC and any of us went out to bars and such, we had an unwritten rule that NONE of us wear anything that says Army on it. We had the haircuts, in a town with no other military presence, so it was already obvious to anyone that we were ROTC cadets. None of us wanted to advertise any more than we had to. In fact, it's well known that some university staff don't like the military much so if we had professors like that, we didn't have to wear our BDUs (yes, I'm that old) to those classes. I almost didn't graduate because someone who didn't like military types and tried to sabotage my grades my final semester. Thankfully, she failed to stop it and I graduated and gold the gold bar of obedience after all...It doesn't take long for the cool factor of the uniform to wear off for the person wearing it, thankfully.

[@andrewcho9779]

+Willysmb44 When we got our ACUs, we were told to not do anything stupid in them as we represent the Army. We also made it so that we do not ever wear anything Army related when we go off to parties. I did see Merchant Marine guys go to bars in uniforms and my first reaction was that they were shitbags thinking they can get girls just because of their uniforms. I went to a very liberal school in NYC so there were many who had a very negative view of the military but they never had the balls to overtly express them in public. I was also very grateful that the professors, no matter how liberal they are, were very respectful and treated us like any other student. Normally they wouldnt even accept absences unless I was sick but they took exception and let me skip class whenever the Veterans Day and Memorial Day Parades happened so I can march. I am honestly very grateful things today are not as bad as how it used to be back in the old days. I left ROTC a while ago but I do hope to become an officer once I start going into medical school and get the HPSP scholarship.

[@Nickuncle]

+Willysmb44 What a pitiful excuse for a scholar. To attempt to fail a hard-working individual due to a personal bias is so moronic it hurts. Thank you for your service.

Also, if you are going to try to be hurtful, use some big boy language they taught you at your 19th century kindergarten, and perhaps some correct grammar, and if you're feeling real smart, throw in some proper punctuation, and next time, it will be a little bit harder for a high schooler to roast you, you half-witted, cluster-fuck, piece of trash below-par, fight picking fuck-up of a father.

Hey I am a Army cadet in the uk , what do ROTC cadets do (in the uk we shoot guns, do field craft, drill and turnout,weapons handling, first aid, military history,navigation and signals training)

"do you think digi camo is slimming?"

LOL I watched this before I was actually in ROTC but now that I am I can't stop laughing at the "In association with PT belt productions." Also, the freaking group messages! We use Group Me, and since it connects with texts I'll sometimes come out of a lecture and find around 30 messages waiting for me.

I am currently a poolee and me and my friend were getting food somewhere, when this man looks at us and says "thank your for your service" We just nodded and laughed it off......

When I was on the Civil Air Patrol, people said "oorah" or some crazy bullshit until I ran to a real airman and he said "3 diamonds.... thats gay"

“This one time at LDAC.” Priceless

[@alexisa.2795]

I’m in JROTC and the joke at school is the regular kids telling cadets “thank you for their service”, it’s obvious why it’s funny, bc high school kids💀💀

As an rotc cadet myself, I can confirm, we have said these things, and we do act like this.
