Yes, you can join ROTC with only two years left in college, but it may vary by program and branch. Many ROTC programs allow students to enter as a sophomore or junior, but you would need to complete the necessary coursework and training within that timeframe. You should also check with the specific ROTC program at your college for any requirements or prerequisites.
Jimmy Carter joined the naval ROTC program primarily to serve his country and pursue a career in the Navy. His decision was influenced by his family's strong military background, as his father was a naval officer. Additionally, the ROTC program provided him with the opportunity to receive an education while preparing for military service, aligning with his aspirations and values.
You can join JROTC.
If you are a graduate of ROTC program during college, you are already a reservist you just did not know it, all you need to do is to reactivate your status into an active reserve. Now, if you are a non-ROTC graduate you can join by enrolling BCMT (Basic Citizen Military Training) course which is an equivalent to ROTC.
No, not at all.
Yes, it is still possible to join the ROTC. Before doing so, you need to think about your child and who will be caring for them.

College ROTC commissions Reserve, National Guard, and Active Duty officers. You may choose which one you want.
No, all ROTC programs at US colleges are for US citizens or permanent residents only. Even if you have family that live in the US you can't join unless you are one of the above. Reason: You have to be a US citizen or immigrant to serve in the US military. Most of the people that join ROTC get substantial financial aid through the program that is only available to American students. Also you are a commissioned officer once you leave and that is pretty much useless to your home countries military. HOWEVER: You can join for the first 2 years if you are a freshman, if you achieve immigration status by then you can continue on with the last 2 years.
Yes, but you'll need a doctor's letter.
