well i donno how relations are with ur skools cadre. but i'm at company p4 and army rotc is our main sponsor. they loan us the weapons for drill, ruck sacks, bdu boots, uniforms, pretty much anything we need that they have. afrotc doesn't seem to like us that much probably bc theres an aas unit here. since p/r is heavily army oriented start making friends with the army rotc cadre if there is one cause they will be ur greatest asset. as far as money out of pocket i believe at times it cant be quiet a bit. so start planning lots and lots of fund raisers.
