ji^Zappeling down the side of a
building or taking practice shots with
an Ml6 rifle are not things that most
people are able to experience. Members of the UH Reserve Officers
Training Corps
(ROTC) had this opportunity and in the
process learned many

Much of the experience gained
through ROTC simply wasn't available elsewhere. The activities offered
a break from the monotonous routine
of school.
