Hello,
I've read many forums that have said going ROTC is well worth it as opposed to enlisting. My situation is a bit unique. Its been my lifelong dream to join the Navy. I applied for the NROTC Scholarship but did not get it. I applied for the AFROTC as a backup but did get that one. My issue is my heart is just not with doing AFROTC. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful to the Air Force for the opportunity and I do realize that many others would love to be in my position but I think that's the issue. I would love to enlist in the Navy right now and then pursue a commission as soon as I am eligible but who the heck gives up a 4 year AFROTC Scholarship? I just feel like I would let a lot of people down if I did so. College orientation is coming up so maybe my perspective will change. Logically it makes sense to give AFROTC a try but I do not want to be behind if I don't like it. I would do the NROTC college program but college finances would be an issue. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
