Thinking about joining the military..

And just another question, I keep on reading about those who go to college and take the ROTC path don't get treated with much respect after they get deployed, is this true?

The respect is earned, not learned in a class room. This is a good read.

This is a question mainly based off curiosity, but as far as weapons go, are you issued the optics and such that go along with it, or does everyone have open sights only?
