Contracted Army ROTC cadets sign an enlistment contract and take an oath of enlistment just like everybody else that has enlisted in the military. They are "enlisted" in the USAR specifically under cadet commands ROTC Control Group. Hence why we carry reserve component Mil ID's. Just like above, we are not subject to UCMJ action.
Basically, yes, technically, however most cadets don't go running around saying this.
Another little nifty fact, cadets pay grades on their ID's is listed at E-6. Doesn't mean any of us are SSG's, but our stipend is about the same as an E-6's drill pay.
*All of this is on the contract you may sign
Just a small correction, drill pay is actually E-5 but I have seen all sorts of random pay grades on ROTC IDs. However, E-5 is what you will be paid in SMP.
Stipends range from 300-500 a month. The average LT makes 375 in the reserves/NG
