Fair enough Tourist , our UOTC / UAS / URNU cannot be compared to the ROTC system across the pond with the exceptions of those in that have bursaries and cadetships sponsored by any of the three armed forces. We had a couple of officer cadets who were sponsored by various corps including one from the AAC who passed his RCB in his final year at uni and got sponsored in his final year and he wore the blue beret. There was a guy from another uni from up north who was attached to us who was sponsored by the Redcaps and he wore the red beret.
So if any folks here from across the pond have earned their commissions via the ROTC route , it be interesting to hear what they had to do during drill nights, weekends, summer camps etc etc and the increased tempo and responsibility during their three or four years at uni.
Will admit the social life of the UOTC was a laugh especially the annual dinner and various wing dinners not to mention taking advantage of the cheap beer.
Cheers
