Leadership demanded from Military Science You get hands-on training which is very attractive to prospective employers if you leave the military. -Renee Curan Its not all spit-and-polish, nYes, sir! and llNo, sir! It's discipline and Cadet Major Tony Francis sees it as a corporation uwhere you're working your way to the top. Tony is a senior majoring in government and min- oring in military science. Undecided about his career plans, Tony looked into the facts of a career with the military. nI was terrified of the military way of life. Who can you believe, with all the different stories about it? Once he found out the facts, Tony set to work incorporating his government degree into his military career, because learning to lead is also being able to llgovern. The military also demands physical condi- tioning, the main element in any type of military establishment. Renee Curan, a senior majoring in social work, is learning responsibility, self-confi- dence, initiative, and how to lead from her involvement in military science. llBesides helping me grow up, its a relief not having to worry about finding a job, a place to live and what I'm going to do when I graduate. llAnother plus is the travel and experi- ence. You get hands-on training which is very attractive to prospective employers if you leave the military. ROTC students are eligible for a 2nd Lieu- tenant Commission upon completion of the required courses. The options in the Military Science program at MSU are too numerous to count. For some, the advantages of this challenging career make it an attractive way of life, a chance llto be all that you can be. BY JOHN BERRY ?
