It's both regional and social, I think. Air Force ROTC seems to skew more toward a specific academic demographic (engineers), but the kids who apply are more of a self-selected demographic. We get those who come in for the college money, and then we get the others who WANT to be in the military, and will shift over to the Army if for some reason they can't enter our program. Again, I'd say this is just a return to the old model of recruiting...old as in before World War II.
