Nothing quantifiable.
I base my statement on knowing several Cadets who are currently there. They are rather disappointed with the level of work that is required.

Last summer I ran across an ROTC Cadet at WP who was participating in summer field training. I asked him what he thought about the training. He looked around to make sure no one was within ear shot and told me that his ROTC field training was much more challenging.

I’ve been stationed down-range three deployments with the better-ranked graduates in the classes, and I’ll take a ROTC grad any day.
