Joining the Reserve Officers' Training Corps does not mean that you have to join the military, it means that if the military needs you they can call you up for service. Theoretically, in times of peace, you might never be needed. Of course, the current times are not very peaceful, so you can pretty much count on being called up.
You must serve an 8 year contractual period of service with the armed forces on completion of your studies if you take an ROTC scholarship, or participate in the ROTC Advance Course.
However, taking the ROTC Basic Course does not oblige you to serve with the armed forces.

What is the US military vs non military education?
Military universities have advantages because it is all paide for by the u.s government but you must serve in the military for 5 years. a regular college is nice so you don;t have to deal with drill instructors. You can also join a rotc unit at most colleges to get free tuition but you still have to serve in the military.
Do you have to go through college NROTC to become on officer in the US Marine Corps or is high school NROTC enough?
In order to become a Marine Corps Officer you have to go through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program in college, go through OCS after College, or go to the Naval Academy. All Marine Corps Officers are college graduates. You can enlist after high school but the program in high school is not strictly military training, it is only military affiliated. In fact ROTC in High School may not help you very much in trying to become a Marine Officer. The majority of high school ROTC members who eventually join the military enlist, while many officers played a couple of sports and worked on getting good grades more than anything else. Talk to a recruiter if you are interested in going enlisted, or try to find the Naval ROTC at colleges you are interested for more information on becomming an Officer. You have to graduate with a college degree in order to be commissioned an Officer. If you flunk out of college, you will not get a commission even if you complete all the ROTC requirements/courses.

If i join the Air Force before going to college will the Air Force supply me with a scholarship and if so how much and do i get to choose wich college?
Well the air force has many college options. You could go to the air force academy for free if you are selected but then you would have to be an officer for at least 6 years afterwards. another way is Air Force ROTC are located all over the U.S. including the university of Illinois. ROTC can get you a huge scholarship and sometimes can pay full tuition. With your dreams of becoming a pastor, Air Force Chaplaincy is the way to go! The air force can pay for a lot of the tuition if not all of it.
Can you join the military and be a doctor and not go to wars?
Yes you can join the military as a doctor. Not go to wars? The whole purpose of a military doctor is to "attend to wounds." If a military doctor is not available to "mend the wounds of wounded combatants", then the military would have no need for such a doctor...agreed?

What college is the army ROTC the best at?
I have been wondering the same question as you. "What college is the army ROTC the best at" I have found out that the military doesn't rank college ROTC programs anymore but private companies do. So my suggestion is go to a book store and look for a book on the army ROTC and which colleges it is best at.
