PS.
Did someone correct you on the ROTC secion? You post, under "Typical Career Paths":
As a ROTC cadet, Uncle Sam pays for the majority of your tuition (depending upon how expensive your school is) and you also receive a small monthly stipend to help with your expenses while at school.
This is incorrect (to my knowledge). This only applies to those who have applied for, and and selected for an ROTC scholarship (which can be applied for your senior year of high school and I belive again once in college if denied the first time). Regular ROTC cadets to do not receive tuition money.
Thx
(please disregard spelling errors. iespell is not working for some reason and I'm helpless without it)
Nope, no one has corrected me. I assumed that if one is enrolled in a ROTC program, they were already selected for a ROTC scholarship. Otherwise, why would one go through all the requirements of a ROTC program if they're not getting anything for it?
Can anyone comment?
