This boy is enrolled in the ROTC class.

He didn't request it and he doesn't want to be in it.

And I was told (and tend to believe): He sought to transfer out and was told that there were no other elective classes open that he could transfer to.

For some reason I'd thought that a student actually had to request to be in ROTC. It just seems odd to make a kid who doesn't want to be there wear a uniform to school once a week and march in formation around the parking lot. And this kid is an honor student and has lettered in track and cross country, so it's not like he needs any more PE.
