OK let's go one at a time and I'll see if I can think of other shit.

1. Upperclassmen: we're scum but deep down we're cool and we can't wait to GTFO and work for a living.... Most of us... the ones with the command positions, some of them are natural pricks. It's impossible to avoid. Mostly, be honest, volunteer for everything on your first week. and ALWAYS tell them the truth when being fucked with. If they have a brain they'll appreciate someone with the balls to stick to what they believe they should say. And take every BS punishment as a straight-up joke and use humor to power through it. Grow a sense of gallows humour, it's a lifesaver. Plus if you can't take a joke, GTFO right the fuck now and I'm not kidding. The military might be going SJW in the rules in garrison but I guarantee you that there is informal poetic justice among people who share the same rank.

>>34285498
Don't trust the blacks. Never turn your back on them unless you really have to and make sure that they know who is the superior one.

On the first day you have to give them a look at disgust followed by 3days of ignoring or 3 meetings. You then act rudely to them while lying about the fights you were in your life.

Blacks are cowards and are easy to scare/impress. Don't worry if he jumps you a knife can take down the ape man even if he is on roids

4. Keeping uniforms clean: You're a parade prop/toy for the school. They'll dress you up in like 18 different ways, each of them with their own 18 different declinations. Use NORMAL PEOPLE THINGS. These things are wool, cotton and polyester... don't think you need to reinvent the sewing machine. Scissors/lighters for stray fabric, lint roller sticky things and lint brushes. Invest in a high quality 50$ + iron and a sturdy ironing board. Learn to use both and keep several spares of cushions/fabric sheath for the board. NEVER get black shoe polish on ANYTHING that you will end up putting an iron and fabric to. That means the fucking ironing board, asshole. ;)

If your boots are all corframs and suede, love life.

You're going to, lierally, some of the most SJW parts of the military. Mil Academies are feeling quite fucked up and more irrelevant every year as interest in attending sometimes actually diminishes for some schools. It's not 1850 anymore. Anybody can get a BA or BS and be a decent officer if they learn their proper job well.

I don't give a fuck what people say, being successful at academics will do wonders for your morale. Some of your teachers might even be civilians, take it and appreciate it. You will deal with civilians as an officer at some point, more than likely. Also, your good marks can be a lifeline, don't ever shunt them aside. They are your number one priority if you want to fly under the radar and also not create useless anxiety for yourself. Pick a major you're good at, study in groups if your friends are serious. Mine were shit so I did almost everything on my own or with a Cadet GF I had for a while.

Honestly as someone who's going to a SMC this is the advice I can get you

1.Don't be a shitbag
2.You don't need sleep
3.Don't be a mototard who fucks up people in your own class
4.Get fit while your there.
5.DO NOT DATE FEMALE CADETS
6. Actually participate in cadet activities and don't skate through, be the best you can be and don't be a ghost cadet.
7. You don't need sleep, dip will become your friend
8. Take advantage of the resources at your school, military colleges are a breeding ground for SOF officers or other hard to get jobs in the military.
9. Military colleges are what you make of it.
10. ACADAMICS.

Also one last thing, military colleges are a place were you can meet some of greatest people you can ever meet and were you can find friends of a life time. Be a social cadet.

I'm not ashamed to say that hit on two WestPoint girls who were on the mule-riding team. They seemed willing but the conversation was interrupted. Then I drank underage at the firsties club with a bunch of other foreigners visiting

Unless it's USMA you're wasting your time. Nobody knows the difference between a shitty academy like Texas A&M or Citadel and a Podunk ROTC program at your local college.

People (especially enlisted) only see three types of commissioning sources: ROTC, OCS, and West Point. Do yourself a favor and get the full college experience through a normal college and go through their ROTC program.

Also, enlist in the national guard as an SMP cadet, start your pay date sooner and get money for sitting around all weekend doing nothing

Thank you all for your advice. I'll take notes on this. If you got additional advice please let me know. Thanks again, I'm grateful for your advice

I am in AFROTC, so i can offer a few bits of advice, though my experience is a lot more relaxed than yours will be:
1. Academics are super important. Study hard and get the best grades you possibly can. That should be your number one priority.
2. Physical fitness should be your second priority. A friend of mine in ROTC went to the Air Force academy for a semester and said he was consistently so bored he would lift/run/workout everyday, and he came back to ROTC fucking jacked.
3. Dont date other cadets. Just don't, it creates problems. Most of the female cadets I've worked with are not very fuckable anyway, but there's always a few attractive ones. Avoid banging them and only bang non-cadets from nearby schools.
4. Don't just skate by quietly, make yourself stand out (in a good way) by volunteering for stuff. Dont over do it, but step up when you can.
5. Dont prioritize sleep or Netflix over anything.
6. Dont act like you're superior to everyone once you commission, the stereotype among enlisted and ROTC people is that academy grads are douchebags. Don't fit that stereotype.

>>34286663
You haven't lived until you slept with a AF Colonels daughter (even though she slept with a lot of cadets).

Also yeah you'll get some weird stories at a military college. Trust me on this one

>>34286719
Don't listen to all these queers my son, I graduated from my country's retarded federal service academy and met some amazing people there. So what if you sleep with a few of them? Dating is dating, it's something that happens among young people who care about each other. The other Cadet I dated, we were very much in love and I was the one who dumped her. I don't have any regrets other than maybe dumping her. See what I mean, she was a good person and I'm very happy for the time we shared. We helped each other grow. Yeah we fucked. A lot. In uniform sometimes. So what?

Scrub all of that shit from your facebook if you have one. If JROTC brought up laugh at yourself, nobody cares about what you did. The fact you mentioned it isn't a good start.

>learn the difference between false motivation and actual motivation

Pic related.

>>34292287
Yes I was told that in advanced by other cadets when I visited the campus and I'm glad about that. I have seen how other "Nerdy" JROTC cadets are already scrubbing their jrotc stuff on the facebook group. Only reason I mentioned it is because you brought it up. However I'm not your usual JROTC cadet, I never forced other cadets to salute me or address me by my rank because I actually didn't like it, I encouraged them to talk to me like a friend because we are simply cadets and this is not the military. Again I hope you understand my point and thanks for the advice.

Good. Now never mention it again and assimilate into your new life with your classmates. They will be some of the best friends you will ever make. Going to and SMC was the best decision I made with my life as of yet.

>>34292139
I only know through a friend that went there before switching to my CMC, it's just lots of retarded hazing and very little productive training and leadership as far as the corps was concerned. He hated it.

>>34292407
And now that you mention it, is there "nerdy" cadets in the corp? If so how do you avoid them? That's one of the things I'm a bit curious because just like you are mention it I don't get along with those types of cadets either and in a few occasions almost got in trouble for arguing with them.

Vmi alumni here, currently an O2(p).

Get drunk as fuck, and have relations with as many chicks (or dudes if you're into that shit) and have the best life you can. Do as little military as possible.


Because once you're in honestly everything you learned was wrong. You'll work ridiculous hours and you'll burn yourself out. No point in showing up to your first day all ready to quit.
My post has an over 35% turnover rate for officers.

Honestly: pt, get drunk, fuck bitches, graduate with whatever GPA you want, and don't complain like a little bitch. No one likes the guy who is always complaining, and if you just make it a habit now then your platoon won't think you're a bitch either. That's the next 4 years.

Thanks. I dislike how civilians are trying to turn the military into SJW, now drill instructors have to watch out how they even punish soldiers/cadets. I remember when I was in summer camp and some males decided to clog the toilet and trash the restroom. When the instructors found out they smoked the shit out of us, we had to push the floor and even got yelled and got told a few bad words and then had to unclog the toilet with our bare hands because of a few assholes. I laughed about it later but I also heard the instructors almost got in trouble because cadet command had passed a law/rule that you cannot drop cadets anymore. I hope dog mattis fixes this shit because the military is not a place for pussies.

>>34292476

>>34292384
Please like what everyone else forget you were a JROTC cadet now, my rat roommate was a JROTC Nazi and I wanted to punch that kid in the face many-many times. He would always bitch and complain about AF PT and how the new fitness officer made things too "hard" while I'd always advocate for harder PT so the AF stops becoming the laughing stock of the corp. It was a good day when he was surprised he didn't get any cadet leadership positions

>>34292448
There's lots of nerds in SMC's, I would also say SMC's are a breeding ground for nerds too.

Try the Federal Military Academies. If you don't get into those try The Citadel, VMI, and possibly Texas A&M.

The Citadel, has gone hill in the past 4 years in regards to hazing and political correctness. VMI hasn't taken such a dramatic hit. All the other ones are fucking gay. Oh yea the Citadel is in Charleston witch is fucking amazing, VMI is in the middle of the woods.

There is also normal ROTC but then you have to deal with SJWs and (((leftist))) professors but then again you get to drink and bang chicks when ever you want.

I wouldn't give up my time at The Citadel for anything. You make friends and connections for life. The Alumni network is amazing and holds unspeakable power in the local and state government (also SCNG).It's also some what prolific in the Active Military.

Ask me anything about el Cid.

Was in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band back in '05. Focus on your fucking academics and do what you have to to keep out of trouble in Cadetland. You'll find too quick that Aggie shit does NOT translate well to the actual military, and most of the vets that lived on campus despised us because we were seen as nothing but a big fucking frat. If you're serious about staying to the end and going contract, I'd consider doing a Simultaneous Military Enrollment Program and hooking up with a guard or reserve unit. Your ROTC time should be able to count for drills if you're not willing to drive out from Bryan/College Station when needed, but do well to get real training beyond the Cadet stuff. First couple years were nothing but folding clothes, shining brass, boots, LQs, sinks, and floors, and memorizing campusologies lest we get smoked for every little thing. Either way, remember you need to finish your degree because one day you'll face getting a civilian job. Just my 2 cents on the matter.

>>34298392
BQs shouldn't give advice, he's asking about real cadets.

>>34298400

Quit trying to be red ass, turd.

>>34298411
But seriously, if he's wanting to contract or do SMP he probably won't be "shinning shoes and brass" for the first two years, that's mostly just band/D&C outfit stuff.
If he's serious about the military he'll join a contract-based outfit and won't deal with 90% of the Corps games.

Most of modern-day third brigade replaced tri-weekly outfit training times/smoke sessions with EPW training and practicing battle drills.
Almost every single cadet in B-2 and D-1 are contracted and that's almost all they do.
(Aside from D-1's crazy spider shit and the Boozer's drinking problems)
