ABSOLUTELY NOT! All cadets, no matter what year, are treated with respect. This isn't an in-your-face shouting book camp style environment at all. It's quite the opposite. Senior cadets guide and mentor the new cadets - in fact that is what our cadet officers are trained to do. Our Detachment Cadre (active duty commissioned and non-commissioned officers) are concerned about you as a person, a student, and as a cadet. We are your ROTC family and your well-being and progress is our number one concern.
