Marine Corps version of ROTC OCS to be exact) for three years in college. Didn't go down for the second six weeks of training due to mono. Recruiter said I could go to the second class that summer without a problem. I believed him. Not sure if he purposely screwed me or not but after opting to skip the first class that summer he told me the second class was full. Graduated in Dec and was supposed to go to the 10 week OCC class the following January. That class got cancelled and it would have been a year before I could get into another. So, I bagged on it and opted for a civilian life. Still sometimes regret not going through with it. I know i made the best decision I could at the time but it is probably the only thing I regret in my life.

I actually enjoyed OCS (with the exception of a few moments) and was looking forward to life in the Corps.
