“Uniform demerits”? R.O.T. C., you know, really stands for “Remedial Officer Training Course”.

Well, I was never going to make the service a career, and I don't think I could have gotten in, anyway. (Too many high school sports injuries. I was attending a land grant university, so ROTC was a requirement.

With all due respect to the cadet officers who eventually went on with their army careers, I do know that about a half-dozen of them were KIA in Vietnam. God bless them.
