Question
Can you tell me what ROTC instructors do during the summer? Do they participate in ROTC cadet summer training? Recruiting? Are they on leave?
They can take leave during the summer, but there is also ROTC training and schools that are carried out during the summer that officers must oversee. They also plan lessons for the upcoming year. While definitely more relaxed, they aren't just 'off' the whole summer.

Expertise
I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
Experience
I have experience in both deployed and garrision environments as a Military Police Officer.
Education/Credentials
Bachelor of Science in Arabic and French from United States Military Academy at West Point.
