Reserved Officers Training Corp. (ROTC)

         With regards to the National Service Training Program or NSTP included in the course' curriculum, i chose to take Reserved Officers Training Corp. (ROTC) in compliance to the subject, and well, i can say that my decision's worth it.

       It's just that i haven't experienced Cadet Army Training (C.A.T.) when i was in my highschool days, so i decided to give it a try. The training was handled by the officers/lieutenants who have their own backgrounds in this aspect. It consists of two subjects, the NSTP 1 and NSTP 2. I've learned so much from the said training. Some of the lessons thay they‘ve discussed include the history of military, military leadership, leadership traits, military courtesy and discipline, military intelligence, basic signal communication, rifles and other equipments, first aid and such, which i found really interesting. What's more exciting was the tutorials from the rules in military, proper position, proper salute, basic moves/executions, handling of rifle, up to the demonstrations/executions by themselves and by us, cadets, ofcourse. I've learned to be disciplined enough to follow the simple rules and regulations, such as the proper attire, earliness for compliance to the checking of attendance by the office personnels, proper attitude, position, respect to others, etc. Even though most of the times, i need to endure the hot rays of the sun, at least, i got the chance to be educated, right? It's fun and thrilling, anyway. It's an experience that i'll absolutely value and remember in my whole life.
