I am 16/f and I am considering applying for an ROTC scholarship in college. I am hesitant to apply, however, because after I graduate from college I am obligated to serve 4 years (which could be part-time) and I could still take a civilian job but I really would not want to be sent to war. But I am looking for ways to help pay for college and millitary experience looks excellent on any resume. I really dont know what I should do. So if you could tell me your opinions, ideas, likes/dislikes, or just anything that comes to mind I would be so greatful!

but there are other ways of paying off college you don;t have to go in the ROCT.my advice is to talk to your parents or ppl you live with to try and find other ways of paying off student loans.but if you really want to serve your counrty and pay for your school than join.there is a good chance that your pay not have to go to war with the new elections comin,who really knows.but i strongly suggest you talk to many adults about this matter.
good luck and if you do choose to join the armed forces or any branch than the best of luck to you and God bless [ rae141307's advice column | Ask rae141307 A Question ]
