Hello Everyone, So I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, but I am trying to get more information, and hopefully one of you could clarify this for me. My dad is working as a contractor in the reserves here in Garmisch Germany and I am his dependent. My family has been here for...

Yeah in my case, I would either accept the scholarship and join the program, or not do it whatsoever. And yes, you can still be in ROTC without taking the money, but like I said, that is not my plan.

Does this still apply in the event that you receive a scholarship, but do not accept it? Makes sense if you decide you are going to take the money, but how about in the event that you turn down ROTC?

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know. There are definatly a lot of things to consider, but you and kinnem's comments helped make my decision easier.

Hello to whomever is reading this, I am posting this thread as I cannot seem to find my question answered anywhere else. At the moment, I am in a bit of a dilemma. To get straight to the point, I am a high school senior, and looking to apply during the ROTC's second meeting in December...
