  • Im thinking of majoring in political science or business. Maybe even pre vet or something else. I have a full academic scholarship so i don't necessarly need to join. Ive always admired military service but it limits my options if i am required to join right after school. Anything helps. Thanks.


  • Joining ROTC is for someone who will make the military a 20+ career. If you don't see yourself committing to the military for that amount of time then maybe not for you. I think joining as an officer is the smartest thing you can do, if that is what you want. In a civilian career you won't get all the benefits you get in the military, 30 day vacation, housing allowance, food allowance, uniform allowance, a chance to travel the world. We are army and we lived in Japan!!! Like everything in life you take, but you got to give back and sometimes it may feel like you are giving back way too much, but the cause it is greater than oneself. Just make sure that is what you want and keep in mind once you started your journey don't just go back, keep going cause at the end you will find your reward. Good Luck.


  • You should at least find out what are your options in joining the Army by visiting your Army recruiter and talking to the ROTC programme director.

    For instance, there is a whole branch of the Army devoted to administration, which is the Adjutant General. There is also a part of the Army which deals with business and contracts. Talk to your military counselors to find out what MOS are available. Wait for the one which you want most.

    I should think in the short term while you may feel limited, you will find many more doors open to you once you have finished a term as an officer in the Army. While it may seem like a long time to you now, by the time you are in your late twenties you will find the time has gone by more quickly than you think.

    Also, the world is at war now, and maybe you should think what you can do for your country.


  • If you like it, stick with it. If you are looking at pre Vet, does the army have a scholarship option for vet school?


  • If you don't absolutely want to serve at least 4 years upon completion of the ROTC program (immediately upon graduation), then DO NOT do the ROTC program...or at least don't accept a scholarship (once you accept a scholarship, you're bound to 4 years of service as a commissioned officer - or you'll be paying the Army back).

    It should be noted that you can change your mind at nearly any time and start later in the program / in your educational career.


  • I gave up my rotc scholarship to enlist in the Marines and have loved every minute since.
