Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you're a counselor, a strategist and a motivator. It's similar to being a vital manager in a corporation. We want you to be part of the next generation of leaders our country needs.  However, if you are unsure if military service is right for you, ROTC is the one way to explore military service WITHOUT actually being in the military.
