NSU begins ROTC program Fall 2019
NSU will begin the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program in Fall 2019. Students will have the
opportunity to participate in two to four year programs to receive a minor in military science leadership
(MSL), complimentary to any other major offered. Scholarships are also available for students who
participate in the ROTC. After graduation, students will get a commission in the army, including the army
reserve, active duty or the national guard. Across the nation, the Army ROTC has commissioned more
than half a million officers and is the largest commissioning source in the American Military.
“The first two years are kind of like getting your foot in the water. Those first four classes you take
freshman year are kind of like feeling it out. You would learn basic saluting, a little bit of history behind
the military, basic facing movements, some PT (physical training) — but there’s no commitment. If you
realize a year or a semester or two years into it that this is not for you there’s no commitment,” said
Nick Pascucci, a coordinator for the ROTC program at NSU and director of Razor’s Edge Research.
“Going in to your junior year, if you’re not prior service, you will be required to go to basic camp. Basic
camp is where you’ll be taking what you learned in your core curriculum and putting it to the test.”
After basic camp, students will go into the minor to learn more leadership skills. The summer before
their senior year, ROTC members will go to a competition camp where they will work to get into the top
percentage of cadets in order to get their top choice of missions, units, jobs and more. It comes down to
physical fitness, leadership skills and other factors.
“ROTC is our country’s premier leadership program. I don’t think you can get any better leadership
experience than through the military. It’s an opportunity for our students at [NSU] that are going to be
academically sound and… civically engaged to propel that to the next level,” explained Matt Chenworth,
a coordinator for the ROTC program at NSU and director of veteran affairs. “It not only gives them the
minor in military science, but during the week they will participate in physical training, during the
summer they will participate in military drills,

As a sub-field of Strategic Studies and Political Science, the study of civil relations, focuses on the (Lovell
1974) "threat posed by the military institution (the existence of a large professional army) to the popular
rule by a civilian goverment, and to the individual citizen's political and civil rights."
The military program's model was in parallel with that of the United States of America which started in
1862 where it was instigated as an elective for college students. (Changco & Santiago, 2013)
The pioneer unit of the ROTC was the University of the Philippines ROTC Unit or the UP Vanguars which
was established in 1922. Followed by the founding of the ROTC units in National University, Ateneo de
Manila Liceo de Manila, and Colegio de San Juan de Letran, until number of schools nationwide adopted
the military program after the endorsement of the commonwealth Act No.1.

RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS
De La Salle University was established in 1911, and its ROTC unit in 1936, shortly after the
ratification of the Commonwealth Act Nr. 1 or commonly known as the National Defense
Act. During the Second World War, the DLSU ROTC graduates formed a part of the
reservist forces, as many were massacred including civilian families and most notably
the 16 Lasallian Brothers inside the campus on 12 February 1945. Later on, the DLSU ROTC
Unit was formally organized then redesignated on February 1952, having its first
Commandant, LT JOSE M VASQUEZ PN.
The traditional semestral academic system was used until the School Year 1995 – 1996,
wherein the Expanded ROTC Program was implemented and male students were required to
take up two (2) years of ROTC. However, this didn’t last until the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) was established in 2001, wherein the students had the choice to join the
Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) instead of ROTC, and complete either for only two (2)
semesters/ terms.
De La Salle University has a rich history in the rudiments of ROTC training. In its seventy-
nine (79) years of existence, the DLSU ROTC has been invigorating its name by producing
outstanding reservists for our country’s armed forces while greatly contributing in both the
civilian and military sectors. Even until the implementation of the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) in 2001 where the ROTC program was made optional, the DLSU ROTC has
kept its prestige and excellence as a distinct reserve unit of the Philippine Navy and
an organization in the university. During the decade, the DLSU ROTC Unit was adjudged
numerous times as the “Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine Navy ROTC Unit
of the Year”, “National Annual General Tactical Inspection (NAGTI) Over-all Champion”,
and “Local Annual General Tactical Inspection (LAGTI) Over-all Champion”. In addition to
this, many of its cadet officers were awarded by the President of the Republic of the
Philippines as the “Armed Forces of the Philippines and Naval Reserve Command
Cadet/Cadette of the Year” – a big manifestation that Lasallians can also perform excellently
in the fields of military student leadership.

ROTC CADET ATTITUDES: A PRODUCT OF SOCIALIZATION OR SELF-SELECTION
JAMES E. DORMAN
Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service
Journal of Political and Military Sociology 1976, Vol. 4 (Fall): 203-216
This article compares ROTC and non ROT male undergraduates on selected attitudinal variables, and
examines the extent to which observe differences are a result of a military socialization or of the self-
selection of certain individuals into the ROTC. Predictions tha cadets would surpass noncadets in terms
of career commitment, attachment to the military, and the possession of militaristic attitudes were
largely confirmed through the use of survey data collected at a medium-sized state university in Ohio. A
cross-sectional research design was used to test and confirm the hypothesis the there is no change in
cadet mean scores on the attitudinal variables as a function of years in the ROTC program. The
eveidence indicates that self-selection better explains cadet/noncadet differences than does the
proposition of military socialization
