also, when you apply to colleges. Do you apply to the college or the cross-town affiliate if that is where you want to go.
Thank You again
Here at The Citadel all you have to do if you want to attend a cross-town affiliate is fill out a piece of paper that says you are a full time student at The Citadel. You (the Navy) will have to pay for the classes, but because you are already accepted to The Citadel you get accepted to the cross-town affiliate.
As far as how the ROTC unit works is basically the same for most units. We PT Monday after school, Wednesday before school, and have Navy lab Thursday after school. OC's do not participate in the games the cadets play. We wear our khakis, not their uniforms. We pretty much go to class, PT, and lab, that's it. You live out in town. Some of the married people live in Navy housing because the Naval Weapons Station is only about 15 minutes away. You are guaranteed acceptance to the school no matter what your SAT/ACT scores/high school transcripts are like. It is not near as bad as people think it would be at a military college. Just like a normal college, we can skip class if we want and don't even get in trouble like the cadets do. I have not skipped any class, but the people that have, have never had anything said to them.
