How did Ole Miss NROTC prepare you for the Marine Corps?

NROTC at Ole Miss prepared me in many ways. I learned the basic principles of teamwork for example and how to work with people you’ve never met from all over the country. I think the most significant impact though was basic discipline. It’s hard to go to the best SEC school and have to go PT in the mornings, or develop a hike plan, or even go on a weekend field exercise with everything that’s going on around an 18-21 year old. I think in hindsight, there’s a lot that NROTC did to set me up for success in the future.
