English term or phrase: ROTC
Dear all,

How can we translate "I was in ROTC"?

Can we say:
كنت ملتحقة ببرنامج للتدريب العسكري
أو خضعت لبرنامج تدريب عسكري ?

I don't know how to phrase it in a sentence.
Thanks

برنامج تأهيل ضباط الاحتياط
Explanation:
Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3adhaa...

ROTC is a university-level program to orient, motivate, educate and train participating students to qualify for commissions as officers in the "reserve components" of their respective military services, i.e. US Army, USN, USMC and USAF. High-scoring "distinguished military graduates" of ROTC programs are offered regular [full-time, career-path status] commissions.

While some other and more-literal into-Arabic renditions of the term "ROTC" are around, this should suffice, bidhin Allah.

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.
