Hello, I received a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship and I'm in my first year right now, and i just have a lot of questions about the difference between ROTC and active duty. I don't mind the PT at all, I have no trouble getting up and the workouts could actually be harder imo. But i just get irritated and bored having to only learn about infantry tactics in class, and in labs we literally do squad movements every week for 2 hours, and i just find it pointless, bc i could learn it in just one lab, and i don't even want to branch combat. I just wanted some input on commissioning through ROTC v. OCS, because i think i can still drop out of ROTC before my MS2 year without having to pay the army back. Tuition really isn't that big of a deal, but when/if i got active duty is there like a tuition repayment program? I also have a 4.0 gpa, 300+ pt score, and am doing im sports and volunteering a lot, so i think i would be able to get OCS. sorry for this being so long and detailed, but i know active duty is completely different than ROTC, and before i came to ROTC i had the strongest desire to serve, and i think being in ROTC has kinda lessened that desire, as i'm not enjoying it at all. but i still want to serve my country, i just don't want to have to go through 4 years of ROTC hating it, then get to active duty all pissy.
