As a civilian and not a veteran you are the ultimate POG though keep that in mind.
You really do not want to hear what active military has to say about people in JROTC or CAP or similar programs so I'll spare you but it is much harsher than what a POG gets in those programs you still can walk away and you have no binding contract or law mom and dad can help you and you can go home or sit it out on rough day you always have that fall back even if you do not use it.Military on the other hand and vets we did not have that fall back dropping out and quitting was not an option without sever consequences.And some POGs work their asses off for example intel guys often work 16 or 17 hours a day.
I know you have an interest in the military and you are in a military style program but until you are there your self and the experience is real and not vicarious you will never fully understand.You will understand what I mean one day if you do join up you'll have the "this is real" moment.And even when you are in when your an FNG you still will not have earned full respect yet from your peers and people flake out a lot in their first year and do not make it and that get "failure to adapt to military lifestyle" on their DD214.
It is a good thing to have confidence do not get me wrong but you can have confidence that you can grab a bull by the horns and then you can have actually grabbed the bull's horns.
