The idea of an ROTC scholarship is, yes, a way for them to get young officers in exchange for the cost of education. I don't know the details, but please, stay away from it. Consider taking courses online. By the time you would be out of college, degrees won't mean much anyway.

I am actually going into the airforce in the intelligence and programming field. I would not be actually "in" a war, I would be one of the ones why programs missiles and simulations for them. Trust me, I would rather not do this, but think about it.
They won't get to give me an assignment until after college, but before my college is over, 2012 will have already happened. Do you think he airforce will try to pull me out of college early to use me in whatever happens in the years ahead?
If not, I should be safe, because I would like to think that after 2012, the whole US Military and govornment will no longer be standing. The only problem is that to travel back to NC, I would have to leave college like 2 years early.
