Some ROTC cadets have previous military experience while others don't know a thing about the military until they come to ROTC and check it out for themselves. You will find that Army ROTC is a wealth of leadership, both on and off campus. ROTC cadets have won various awards on campus to prove this. Students enrolled in the program have also won the Rainville student leadership award, and various awards offered by local National Guard and Reserve units. The average ROTC grade point average is much higher than that of the campus showing that cadets excel in the classroom as well as outside.
Many cadets also participate in Varsity or club sports at their respective campus as well.
ROTC cadets manage to set and maintain high standards for themselves in all aspects of life. This is why those who enroll in ROTC become so successful both in the military and civilian world. One excellent example of setting a higher standard is former cadet Tammy Boucakis. She enrolled in ROTC at the end of her sophomore year. She accepted her scholarship and continued to excel in the ROTC program as well as in class.
