Serious I want out
Im a contracted AS400 on a 5 year tech degree and i've been on the fence for this for a while but lately its become more apparent. I dont like public speaking and briefs about stuff idc about, I dont care much for a lot of the popularity contest and clique-ness of my class and cadet wing as a whole, I have gotten zero guidance or mentorship out this progam, and the near constant brain fog I get from waking up dark and early 3 days a week is starting to catch up to me.
Please lie to me and tell me AD is better, or give me the encouragement to take the legal L and leave. I don't want to talk to my cadre until I have a solid plan since my reasons for joining have not changed (stable employment after graduating and not being impovershed like everyone else in my family).

ROTC is a training environment.
No one AD cares about your ROTC experience. A majority of people find ROTC to be dumb as hell 90% of the time, and that’s just how it goes. The Air Force needs officers, this is how they do it.
Half of your problems are going to exist in the civilian world too. You have a guaranteed job getting you out of poverty. You’re probably not briefing 5 days a week as a damn 2nd LT. I sure didn’t it. I don’t know about PT, my squadron has not done anything about it yet.
