I spent 22 years in the navy (1975-1997). The navy used to make them serve time out in the fleet as enlisted. Their obligation was based on the amount of time they got benefits in ROTC. Usually, as sailors, these guys were next to worthless. We'd assign them every crap job that came along.

actually, it IS possible to get out of an ROTC scholarship. if you haven't completed your first year of school you are allowed to back out at any time free of charge.
After your first year you are bound by the contract that you signed. You can SOMETIMES get out of the scholarship by paying it back, it depends alot on which branch ROTC you're in and on your own leadership at your Det/Bat/whatever the navy calls it. In the Air Force ROTC, chances are you could get out of your scholarship commitment WITHOUT having to serve in the enlisted corps OR paying back the scholarship. Navy, you're likely to have to pay it back. Army might not let you out without service commitment. Really, it's all subject to your CC.

I think the only way out of an ROTC Scholarship is to pay it back in enlisted years to the military. If you fail to meet your end of your ROTC Contract I think it is the governments choice to have you pay back the Scholarship in money or in serving in the military as an enlisted Soldier.

Why do you ask? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Not chicken are you??
If you are in ROTC and trying to get out of your commitment, I hope you succeed. Because I'm an active duty NCO serving in Afghanistan and have been to Iraq. I can't imagine serving under a coward.

That depends on the agreement that you signed. Get a copy of the agreement and read it carefully. You probably agreed to a certain amount of time in the ROTC as a separate agreement from the scholarship.
But I've never been in the ROTC, so I couldn't tell you for sure. Your "contract" should tell you.
