@Yaaaaabbbbbeeeee technically mandatory already. Many of the officers here was absent or late at NTSP meetings, thus, they got automatically assigned to ROTC, either basic ROTC cadettes or a cadet officer like me. Though, it's my own volition entering here. Got scholarship after all, in cash. Some schools doesn't have those, but many is just students volition, problem with my university, it's quite competitive in RAATI, there's about new 90 cadet officers and over 500 cadettes this year I believe. From multiple campuses of my uni, so it's basically normal to have semi mandatory implementation of it, we win provincial level last year after all. We're competing on next RAATI, I think might be against regional level, and then, National if we're lucky.
