What active duty commitment is there for joining ROTC?
Technically the answer is “None!” Only scholarship cadets incur any kind of commitment. Those cadets are required to serve in the Army as a commissioned officer for four years. Starting salary is roughly $30,000. Cadets who are not on scholarship may choose to pursue a commission as well, but there is no requirement to do so. ROTC is just a college course that teaches leadership, management, and teamwork.
