ROTC

I just want to clarify any questions anyone might have about the ROTC.

and here it is in FAQ format. :D

Q: what is ROTC?
A: It means Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and is a scholarship available for high school students who are interested in the military, and for paying for a HUGE majority of collage fees.

Q: ok, so how do you qualify?
A: Its no cake walk, the requirements are,

1. Must have a High School Diploma
2. Must have a GPA of 2.50 at the least
3. Must pass a physical examiniation (pushups, situps, etc.)
4. Must score a minimum of 920 of the SAT (math/verbal) or 19 on the ACT
5. Between ages 17 and 26
6. Legal US Citizen
7. And you must accept a commission and serve in the Army on Active Duty or in a Reserve Component (Army Reserve, National Guard)

Q: Are their any commitments you must fulfill?
A: Yes, you must serve EIGHT YEARS in the army, to break it down, you must serve full time in the army for 4 years, then another 4 years in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and selected cadets may choose to serve part time in the Army Reserve of National Guard while pursuing a civilian career.

Q: This seems to much, how do you ever hope to get in?
A: Luck, Hope, and a crap load of commitment. There are ROTC programs at almost every single collage that you can think of, and there is a ROTC program for every branch of the military.

Q: What is the curriculum like?
A: ROTC basically sets up elective courses that a cadet can take to learn leadership tactics, military strategy, as well as some field exercises.

Q: I don't like the army, I want to be a USMC officer.
A: you might want to see this then, Link.

Q: Is that it?
A: Absolutely not! if you want more info, I suggest you check out the ROTC page on the goarmy.com site. just click on the link on the links panel, and click ROTC.
