Most military schools refer to their students as cadets. Attending one of them makes you a cadet. Military colleges (Texas A&M, VMI, Citadel, VPI) refer to members of the Corps as cadets. ROTC for the various branches may refer to their students as cadets or midshipmen (Navy).

No you don't unless you are in college ROTC or a military university Lime West Point, Air Force Acadamy, and the Naval Acadamy. You can take ROTC without an obligation to serve in the military upon graduation. The only way you'd be obligated through ROTC is if you attended university on an ROTC scholarship.

The answer is NO, though more details are needed. First and foremost are you a member of the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)? Contracting with ROTC is where you assume the obligation which generally varies based on years "Uncle Same" has paid for your college. Usually the obligations vary based on the time you are required to assume active duty service (though reserve and national guard options exist). The most common is the 4 and 4 which means 4 on active duty and 4 on IRR.

Generally, your commitment to the military is directly proportional with the number of years ROTC pays for your school. If you are awarded a full 4-year scholarship through ROTC, you will owe the military 4 years of active duty service.
