While in school you will take ROTC courses for a few hours a
week. ROTC courses fulfill elective requirements at most colleges.
You can try ROTC for
up to two years without making any commitment to join the Army.
After graduating with your officer's commission, you will serve in
either the active Army, the Army National Guard, or the Army Reserve
or a combination for a total of eight years.
