New Book ‘The Ultimate ROTC Guidebook’ Debuts

The Ultimate ROTC Guidebook: Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Excelling in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
By 2LT David Atkinson (Savas Beatie, 2012)

New this month is The Ultimate ROTC Guidebook by David Atkinson, a book that offers tips on how to excel in ROTC.

When Atkinson joined ROTC, he had no idea what to expect. There is a lot of information on how to join ROTC, but less about how to succeed in it.

“I had almost no knowledge whatsoever; not only about ROTC, but about the Army in general when I joined,” said Atkinson. “My preparation was based entirely off of my experience from the military science class I took freshman year of college. I learned everything else as it came up. Now I want to provide cadets with a resource that would have benefited me. I took my experiences and lessons learned and put them in a format that is easy to understand, practical and applicable so others can benefit from the same mistakes I made.”

Cadets come from all walks of life, including students from high school beginning their first year of college, veterans who want to get an education and return to the military as officers, and enlisted personnel who are taking advantage of receiving a free education as they work to transform from an enlisted soldier to an Army officer. The expectations, learning curve, requirements, and tasks in cadet life will be new or will be conducted in a manner never experienced.

The Ultimate ROTC Guidebook teaches, step by step, how to do the same thing Atkinson did—and much more. This book will provide information on what to expect and will give specific and practical tips on how to excel at every level of training. There are already documents that explain how to wear a uniform correctly and what awards are available, but only this guide will tell how to complete a mission above the standard, explain how to reach your peak fitness level, and how to improve an ROTC battalion as a whole.

Atkinson is ready to get his book into the hands of anybody and everybody interested in ROTC to help them prepare for training. The Ultimate ROTC Guidebook shortens the learning curve and will help cadets perform better than they believed possible.
