My child has an Army ROTC four year scholarship at a difficult college. They (I don't want to reveal gender) are in their first year, and their grades were not good the first semester. Someone (an upper level cadet/maybe platoon leader?) told them that one of the most popular choices for officers upon graduating is infantry, which is what my child desperately wants at this point. They were told by this cadet that only graduates with the highest gpa's get their first choice, so now my child thinks that it is impossible to get it, and if they want infantry, the only way is to drop out of college and enlist. I think this would be a huge mistake after so much has been given to my child. Does anyone know if the advice this older cadet gave is accurate?
