@schubert My memory is probably not accurate. And maybe it was ’voluntary’ PT but the Marines were always doing it. My roommate was in Navy ROTC and he never went out with the Marines. Where I went to school all of us, every single student, were in ROTC whether we intended to accept a commission or not. So way more than half of the student body, all males back then, took four full years of ROTC but never went into the military. Which is all to say that it was probably the career track guys out there running and doing push-ups all the time.
Edit: I just looked it up. The school has a "Marine Contingent" within the Navy ROTC department. They accept Marine Corp commissions.
