I played lacrosse my first year of college and NROTC - and I can tell you it was too much. Ultimately one had to go. I think most people would agree that the two together are a tough road. As a scholarship NROTC Mid I knew which side my bread was buttered on - and appropriatly made NROTC the priority.
A girl in my class is on the cross country team. We have three freshmen on other teams too, but it remains to be seen how that's going to work out.

At my school there is an OC on the football team, a MECEP Marine on the rugby team, another MECEP Marine on the soccer team, and an OC on the Cross Country team. Those are just the ones I know about.

Lets see...I taught at the NROTC for almost three years, and I can tell you that you can make it work, but it's really tough. I saw guys and gals attempt sports their first year and it usually ended the same way. They either dropped NROTC or dropped sports. At some point, you'll have to decide which is more important; athletics or a commission.

Hell, they make it work at the Academy and if you're good enough, you have the possibility of getting let out of part of your committment. Talk about a sweet deal. Navy pays for your education, you get to play sports, and if you have the talent and skillz, you may get that one in a million shot.
