<p>Does anyone know which NROTC units are well known for having a good drill team?</p>
<p>I really wouldn't suggest picking your unit based on the drill team.</p>
<p>I'm not choosing based on a drill team. I'm narrowing down my choices based on Drill Team. I need to rank Vanderbilt, Rice, University of Memphis, Georgetown, University of Virginia, and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. All the colleges are pretty good, but I'm not sure about the individual NROTC units. One way of finding out if the program is disciplined is to look at their drill team.</p>
<p>I still say Norwich is quite a class act when it comes to Drill.</p>
<p>I know that Norwich has a great drill team, but I don't think that I want to be apart of a Corps of Cadets, even though Norwich has a civilian side to their college too.</p>
<p>that is a really cool way of ranking NROTC programs. i know that NJROTC drill teams compete all the time (i'm on one of them). but i've never seen results published. are there published results from the NROTC level drill competitions?</p>
<p>wow, you are quite the tool. ive never heard of a more retarded way to pick a school to go to for rotc</p>
<p>Ouch! But as he said, he's not making the final decision based on drill.</p>
<p>Wow, why don't you stop judging and if you don't have any contributions to the actual thread then stay out of them.</p>
<p>He is right though. We don't even have a drill team, because there are a lot more important things to spend a lot of time on.</p>
<p>So you're saying that I'm a tool for using an extra cirricular activity as a deciding factor in my college choice. So if I understand you correctly, the people that choose colleges because of the football team is good are all tools. Same with all other sports. Not to mention student government, marching bands, etc. I bet you think you're so tough, calling someone who you've never met a tool.</p>
<p>It is a little different when you use an extracurricular activity to choose an institution that will attempt to begin the process of training you to lead men into combat. I actually think that he is trying to help you out, only in the a sailor's fashion. If someone was to say that you're a tool, it might be because your little screen name says, implies or even hints that you're a marine, when you have far from earned the title.</p>
<p>marine4~ you are not only NOT A TOOL but to be commended for looking at some incredibly difficult and awesome institutions. THAT says a lot about you! way to go! which school would you want based on academics?</p>
<p>I do agree with you about the screen-name danbrenn. I had just started JROTC and was a little enthused. </p>
<p>happycollegemom:</p>
<p>I'm leaning towards Vanderbilt or Tulane, and possibly UNC Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>no, i am calling you a tool for picking drill team. most people with common sense pick a school based on their academics. believe it or not, graduates from usna and rotc start out on the same page. no one will care that you are on the drill team. it would make more sense to pick a program with a good athletic program or that has good officers running the program, but do whatever you want. besides, your quote is ridiculous...</p>
<p>"One way of finding out if the program is disciplined is to look at their drill team."</p>
<p>one way? as in who's way? some high school kid who is in jrotc? give me a break. you really have no idea and i almost feel bad for ingnorance. as i said earlier, rotc is rotc and what YOU make of it</p>
<p>marine...look closely at UVA. are you in/out of state for VA,NC? and of course i no NOTHING about ROTC! best of luck!</p>
<p>I'm just curious as to why USMMA2009 is posting in USNA forum... more particularly in a NROTC thread, considering his screen name is USMMA2009, which is neither related to USNA or NROTC.</p>
<p>Marine4Life -
You know, there are some folks that get into the drill thing, and find in it some level of reward; some others find it an excruciating necessity. To each there own. </p>
<p>One way to find out about schools with hot drill teams would be to sniff around the various unit Web sites. They might list a big win at one of the regional drill and military skills competitions, if they had a result to brag about. Or you could go to the Web sites of some of the units that sponsor the big, multi-college competitions and see who won in which category - if they elected to post the results. I believe I have heard of big NROTC competitions at places like Tulane, Cornell, and perhaps RPI. I am sure there are many more. </p>
<p>My sense is that the schools with dedicated Corps of Cadets - like Virginia tech, or the Citadel, etc - tend to have the more drill teams with the time and focus to do well in the drill side of the competitions. But generalizations are always disproven by actual results. Good hunting for this info - you may learn a lot along the way.</p>

<p>that's my guess too. i have offers from VMI, the Citadel and Virginia Tech myself, but i'm definitely not deciding/ranking based on their drill teams, although that would be something cool to know.</p>
<p>The drill team (S's not on it)from S's NROTC unit participated in the drill competition at Tulane recently. You may able to search Tulane for results.</p>
