I can confidently say that my time there prepared me exceptionally well for the challenges I face today. The ISU NROTC program not only equipped me with the foundational skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in the Marine Corps but also instilled in me the leadership qualities and resilience required to excel at The Basic School.
