When wearing a military uniform or otherwise representing Army ROTC, cadets will conform to the following grooming standards:. Male haircuts. The hair will not be excessive or present an unkempt appearance. It will present a tapered look. When combed, it will not fall over the ears or eyebrows or touch the collar except for the closely cut neck hair. Female haircuts and makeup. The bulk or length of the hair will not interfere with wearing of military headgear.
Hair should not appear unkempt. The hair length may not extend below the bottom edge of any uniform collar. Long hair may meet this standard by being pinned up using natural hair colored or transparent clips or barrettes. Braids must be snug to the head and not fall below the bottom edge of the collar. Females may wear wigs of natural hair color and the style and length conform to appearance standards.
Makeup and nail polish will be conservative and compliment the uniform. See AR , paragraph for specific questions about female hair and makeup. Men will be clean-shaven except for mustaches. If a mustache is worn, it will be neatly trimmed so that no portion covers the upper lip line or extends beyond or below the corner points of where the upper and lower lips join. Cadets may wear a wristwatch, an identification bracelet, and not more than two rings the wedding set is considered one ring of conservative taste while in uniform.
A purely religious medal i. Christopher may be worn around the neck as long as the medal or the chains do not show. Cadets who receive Reserve Duty will serve in local Reserve or National Guard units one weekend a month, or serve in the Ready Reserves with no "drilling" requirement if a suitable unit is not available where you reside.
The Reserves are one of the best adjunct career and retirement systems in the U. Our current cadet corps has an average cumulative GPA above the general university average. Yes, there are some time demands and some voluntary extracurricular activities in ROTC. But simply put, ROTC cadets are more mature and better time managers than many students. Your academic and athletic success is the highest priority and we stress that.
You must do well academically and athletically to succeed in ROTC. Army ROTC provides the best leader development program in the world. No corporation or leadership institute can provide the combined classroom and hands-on leadership training, education and practice as Army ROTC. During the academic year, your focus is on academics getting your degree -- with ROTC classroom instruction and labs complimenting that education.
What's best about Army ROTC is that while learning to become an Army officer, you are interacting, socializing and learning with students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, political ideologies and goals. How can you get around that one?
A: Well, there are surely some career tracks where ROTC may not help you, but the exceptional record of graduating cadets getting good jobs in their fields is well above average. In the Reserves, there are also a lot of job networking and contacts, and most employees view Reservists or officers leaving active duty in very positive terms.
Further, students that emphasize their ROTC enrollment are generally viewed as desirable to most employers because of their competitive leadership and managerial abilities, maturity, and time management skills. A: You must maintain the Army grooming standards for both male and female; hair off your ears male and not down your shoulders female crew cut not required. You will learn how to wear a uniform properly, but the uniform is only required to be worn during class times and training.
Finally, harassment of any type went out years ago; it is not acceptable. We emphasize proper decorum, respect, military courtesies, ethics and standards of conduct; all of which apply equally well to non-military, professional careers. ROTC will give you better leadership and managerial skills applicable to any field.
ROTC will provide you with a lot of personal attention, encouraging you to get good grades and further mature. Class sizes are small and everyone is given personal counseling. We compel you to stay in shape and improve your physical fitness. Yes, there are some progressive physical fitness requirements and you cannot be overweight and complete the program. ROTC is a college-based program through which students train to be commissioned military officers. A total of seven cadets now participate in the program.
Together, they share a two-room double in Branner Hall , an upperclass dorm with a public service focus. Benitez-Strine hails from a military family. Her older sister is currently at the United States Naval Academy , in addition to aunts, uncles and cousins who all serve in various branches of the military. It was a factor in my decision. Does the Army reimburse the student or are they given a uniform stipend?

I thought I heard that they were given a stipend. This was a couple of years ago so I can't guarantee that is correct.
I really appreciate all the information on this forum! Such a blessing to a newbie!!! NorwichDad Year Member. Joined Apr 6, Messages 1, It was a good brand and was indestructable. My son said his friends bought many less expensive watches during that time. They would always break after some time. As for my son's watch, he went to the gym at the YMCA here two days after graduation and accidently left it there. He went back and it was gone. I bought him another.

I bought my son a really good watch right before he started ROTC.
