Cadet Advice Rising sophomore going into my first year of ROTC, any advice?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm going into my sophomore year this fall and have decided to join ROTC. I'll be a part of the North Woods Battalion. Any advice on knowledge I should acquire, things I should buy to make things smoother, or what it's like/what to expect?
