i don't know about the non-scholarship part, but if u are in smp you have signed a Contract with the Guard or Reserves, not ROTC. This means if you quit or get kicked out of ROTC you still have an obligation to the army, and from what i understand you will be demoted to privet and will go to basic like everyone else.
Yes.
no you will always (out of rotc) start in any branch as a 2nd lieutenant
An English degree is OK for a POLICE officer.No one can join the US military as an officer, except doctors. Everyone else joins as a Private / ROTC cadet, and QUALIFIES on active duty to become an officer.

Awarded annually to an outstanding cadet at each installation who contributed the most to encourage and demonstrate Americanism. This is a Junior ROTC (high school level) or ROTC (college level) award. Those receiving this award in Junior ROTC in high school can wear the ribbon (or the medal, if appropriate) if they participate in ROTC in college.
Yes, you can still become an F-16 pilot if you are 24 and starting ROTC. The U.S. Air Force typically requires pilots to be commissioned before the age of 30, so you would be within the age limit. As an ROTC cadet, you'll need to complete your degree and meet all the physical and academic requirements, as well as successfully navigate the selection process for pilot training after commissioning. It’s important to stay focused on your goals and maintain a strong performance throughout your ROTC experience.
