I realized it was a no-win situation; I was an ROTC cadet, and therefore a nerd by default, and I wasn't quitting ROTC for nobody; I loved it too much. As a matter of fact, I moved halfway through my junior year, and was supposed to attend another school--uh, not a chance! I had a little holla with the principal and he helped keep me at my original school for ROTC without having to go through any lottery programs or any other nonsense like that.
When I got promoted to C/2Lt. on May 17, 1990, it was like crossing the sands to a frat, I felt like I had "arrived. But I digress...
FWIW, I made Homecoming King, which set a major precedent (perhaps the only instance) in that I was an ROTC cadet and was never involved in any athletic activities; my thing was strictly ROTC and entertainment (read: choir and drama club).
Hope this helps.
