Do you have to enlist to do ROTC?

No, you do not enlist in the terms of going to a recruiter, however, you are a member of the armed forces and could be given orders. However, college ROTC does require that you sign a contract. Up to the point where you begin your Junior year of classes, you can walk away. If you walk away after that point, the military can require you to serve to pay off your debt to the government. 'Contract' ROTC participants get their last two years of college paid for, in exchange for serving on active duty for four years. I know at least one individual that was denied a commission and had to serve his four years as an enlisted sailor.
