Successfully completing the ROTC program earns one the privilege of wearing the gold bar of a second lieutenant, the distinction of being an officer in the world's premier fighting force: the United States Army. With many different career paths, duty stations around the world, and attractive pay and benefits, whether you are a nurse, an engineer, or an infantryman, the Army is a smart career choice.
“ ROTC gives you more options in life. You can be an active duty or reserve/guard officer, but no matter what choice you make you will gain the experience and leadership that will enable you to be successful in any environment. ”
