Abstract: This study explored the experiences of the advanced reserve officers training course cadets as a student. The study was conducted at Misamis University, Ozamiz City. Ten advanced ROTC Officers at Misamis University, Ozamiz City, were interviewed using a structured questionnaire made by the researcher. The study used Moustaka’s Transcendental Analysis of the data. The phenomenological study revealed five main themes: economic burden; physical and mental stability; age, height, grade requirement; time management, and self-discipline. This research posits that advanced ROTC officers experience various challenges regarding their overall well-being. Economic burden and physical and mental instability have been part of the officers’ experiences. Qualifications of being an advanced ROTC officer are evident, as well as the countermeasures in coping with the challenges: time management and self-discipline. Advanced ROTC officers may explore ways in which they can use to sustain their financial needs. They may seek the support of a physician to aid their mental and physical health. Families should provide them with time, care, and support, constantly asking for their overall welfare.
