It took a certain amount of courage in those days to wear a uniform — I think most ROTC units around that time didn’t recommend their cadets wear uniforms to class — is that true for when you attended?
I had a friend who attended pilot training at Williams AFB (Chandler AZ). Occasionally he drove through Tempe (where the Arizona State campus is). He said coeds would sometimes spit on his car when they saw the blue officer sticker.
Wore our uniforms every Thursday. It was an extremely active program, and prepared me well for active duty. The numerous weekend keggers prepared me well for life in Germany. I was one American who could hold their own against the natives.
The first four days of spring break were always spent at Fort Lewis for training. All I wanted to do the rest of Spring Break was to catch up on my sleep.
Oddly, in Reno, the Veterans Day parade is full of HS ROTC cadets. I was kinda shocked the first one we went to one downtown at the amount of kids in ROTC. Every HS in town has an ROTC unit it appears.
