Answer 1

To easy, just do not sign the contract!
Most ROTC units encourage participation. The military science classes are often electives that count towards your degree for many majors. You will not perform in leadership roles such as Squad Leader, Platoon Leader or Platoon Sergeant, but they will no doubt let you take the classes for the MS I and MS II year as well as the leadership labs that accompany them. You may even participate without signing up for the class in many cases. Also, many schools offer credit for the PT any good program conducts every morning. Talk to the staff at you local ROTC battalion for details, they will help you out.

Answer 2

Actually no, ROTC doea not put you though police basic training, In high school or for the first two years of college you can take ROTC classes and do training without any commitment if you would like.

But no ROTC is really no help in becoming a police officer.

If you joined the ROTC and went into the military, being a VET and having military service is a big help getting a job as a police officer

Answer 3

You can't. If you sign up for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), one of the things that you agree to is that you will give at least four years of active duty to the branch of the Armed Forces that is training you upon your graduation from college. There's no getting around that -- the Armed Forces spends a lot of money training each ROTC cadet and they expect something in return (namely, four years of your life that you'll spend on active duty).

Answer 4

ROTC programs are available in high school and colleges. Just sign up.

Answer 5

It sounds like you want to eat your cake and have it too.

If you play you gotta pay.
