Army Leadership Training Course.?
I am currently joining Army ROTC and I was wondering because I will have 53 credits by next summer and still have 3 years left of school will I be eligible to join the leadership training course. I have spoken with the Captain at my school’s ROTC office and she said it isn’t a problem as long as I have less than 60 credits, however i’m unsure about that.
First of all, why do you need to go to LTC? If you complete freshman and sophomore MILS classes, you can contract without LTC. If you started your ROTC either from MS2 or MS3 then yes. You have to complete LTC in order to contract. If this is the case, go for it. I’ve never seen anyone rejected from LTC. Credit hours you have doesn’t effect your eligibility. I know a guy who went to LTC with over 100 credit hours. Credit hours left (you need to take from now) in order to get a degree dictates your MS level and your ROTC contract. Some people change majors or double major have more credit hours.
but
From what I heard, LTC is a joke. Drill Sergeants have specific orders not to yell at cadets more than certain times. I recommend Basic Training. You’ll learn more.
If the Captain said you could do it, why wouldn’t you trust her opinion?
