“ People always ask me why I joined ROTC when so many other jobs are available to me. I decided to join Army ROTC because I will have an exciting job when I graduate. I will play a part in protecting the freedoms I have always enjoyed and will always enjoy. Service will be a life experience that builds character and makes me a stronger person. I will have more leadership responsibility than any other job out there, leading a platoon of roughly 30 soldiers, being responsible for their well-being and for the success or failure of the platoon ”

LEADERSHIP

In Army ROTC you will learn to become a leader-not just a person who gives orders but a person who leads by example. Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you're a counselor, a strategist and a motivator. It's similar to being a vital manager in a corporation. As an Officer, you will lead other Soldiers in all situations and adjust to environments that are always changing. You'll be driven to achieve success with your team on every mission.
