Hi,
I am curious as to the percentages of ROTC Grads who Commission either in the Regular or Reserves in their chosen service? I ask because our one son applied for AROTC and was basically told "anyone who wanted it usually got Regular Army Commissions". Reading through these forums I am seeing much different comments throughout the different services for the percentage of grads who get to go "Regular" versus "Reserve" Commissions. Said DS is currently at WP and really enjoying the experience, but second DS is at a University (because of his chosen major) rather than an SA because the SA's only offered very limited studies in his chosen field. He is doing NROTC at his school and enjoys it and his fellow MIDNS. He is considering applying as a college applicant to a SA, but has asked the question "if I stay NROTC, will I still be able to get a Regular Commission"? I did not have an answer for him and was hoping someone here may? I was always under the impression that by its very name any ROTC Graduate would receive a "Reserve" Commission, even if selected for AD?
