Participated in ROTC in college which helped pay for my degree. 28+ years of service so far. Don't let anyone tell you there is no way to pay your way through college. Me, my wife and my son all paid (are paying) for school through GI Bill.
No JROTC in my high school at the time. It seems much like marching band or drill team, can be percieved as cool or nerdy depending on the school / city.
