I've been on this forum a trillion times my apologies, but what's the difference between SMP and Split Op. I'm an incoming freshman at SF State, and talked to my cadre about going Split Op and he said that it's fine and won't interfere and said he'll even send me to a NG and AR recruiter when I...

If I do Army Rotc I plan on signing a GRFD contract, but I'm trying to compare my options right now and all the paths that are possible. I can't get a scholarship because I'm an incoming freshman at SFSU so I'll have to wait. I want to serve my country while still being able to attend college...

Okay I've posted a billion times on this site my apologies but I'm trying to weigh every option possible. I've been considering doing army ROTC at University of San Francisco and doing Split op in the national guard. But I also started considering joining the Air national guard, or the coast...
