All items issued are on a loan basis and must be returned at the end of the semester in order for a grade to be received. Additionally, cadets will receive an overview of the ROTC program, which may lead to a commission as a second Lieutenant, and the opportunities afforded an Army officer. Satisfactory completion of this course may be used to fulfill a category E or F requirement. Since a large part of the course evaluation consists of practical application, cadets who do not prepare mentally will be unable to perform with any degree of expertise, which will affect their performance during class. An unexcused absence will result in points being deducted from the final grade.
Cadets are highly encouraged to inform the instructor of any possible absences before it occurs.
All other cadets are encouraged to attend. The instructor will determine the amount of extra credit. A maximum of 5 points can be awarded to the final percentage grade. Other activities that can earn extra credit are the following AOV, FTX, Land Nav, Paintball trip, rappelling trip or any other activity above that which is required in the Schedule of Instruction.
