Can you finish out ROTC in high school then go to college for a tech degree and then join the army and still be an officer?
No. "ROTC in high school" is JROTC. If you complete enough JROTC you can enlist as E2 or something. That's the only advantage of JROTC. For Army ROTC you must attend and receive a degree from a 4-year university.
Do ROTC members on scholarship receive a DD214 if they opt out after their first year?
ROTC members on scholarship who choose to opt out after their first year typically do not receive a DD214, as this form is issued to service members who have completed active duty or have been discharged from service. Instead, they may be released from their scholarship contract without completing any military service. However, the specifics can vary based on the circumstances and the policies of the ROTC program. It's advisable for individuals to consult with their ROTC cadre for detailed guidance on their particular situation.
Is the ROTC a minor?
ROTC is not in itself a minor. However, you can minor in whatever the main field of your ROTC branch is. For example: if you complete the full curriculum for Army ROTC, you can be eligible for a Military Science Minor, or Aerospace Studies Minor with Air Force ROTC.
When is ROTC graduation?
ROTC graduation typically occurs at the end of the academic year, coinciding with the university's commencement ceremonies. Specific dates can vary by institution, so it's best to check with your university's ROTC program or academic calendar for the exact timing. Generally, this event celebrates the commissioning of cadets into the military as second lieutenants.
