"ROTC cadets invest hours each week in the classroom and extracurricular activities to develop leadership and military skills," said John Wittman, Executive Vice President of CollegeBookRenter.com.

"We recognize the importance of the role ROTC cadets play – not only in the military, but in our society – and we want them to be able to focus on honing the skills they will need to become great leaders. Offering additional discounts is CBR's way of reducing the financial burden of attending college, and showing our appreciation for ROTC cadets' dedication to preparing to serve our country."
