Should I join as I go to off to college? Would that interfere big time with my education? What would they have me doing? I read the website, but it was a little vague.

If you join in the college program they will help pay for school if you sign a contract to serve when you graduate. You will do some ROTC training while at school but you can not be shipped overseas or anything like that until you go through basic training and MOS training.

Your mom is right. i'm presently in military ROTC, yet in the beginning up became into gazing going to order direction first. at first of the reserves merely provide you a non deployment selection in case you're reduced in size via ROTC or are on a ROTC scholarship. different than that in the event that they want you, you're long gone. Im no longer precisely particular in the event that they provide you a non deployment window or no longer. i comprehend that the national preserve supplies 2 years non deployable, yet with the army Im rather particular there is not any deal. merely think of approximately what you desire to do and do this. If the army is what you like do this and NROTC or merely connect the energetic army. yet while college is what you like then take the college direction. Whichever you do better of success

It can cause problems. I was in the Air Force Reserves and during my last quarter of college my Squadron was preparing to deploy. Lucky it got canceled and I was able to graduate with my friends. If you join the Reserves at this time there is a high probably that it will cause problems in college. If you really want to serve your Country in the Reserves by all means do it.

i would suggest going to college for a semester and then see if you have the time to make that commitment. If the website is a little vague, which i totally agree, click Find a Recruiter on the website and they'll have one call you to answer any questions you may have.

I'm not sure what your definition of "big time" is but understand that there is a good possibility that you will be called to active duty. It's just the nature of the beast. If that unnerves you, then I wouldn't recommend you join.

if you enlist, you will be subject to being called up for active duty.
If you go ROTC, you won't be in that predicament, but you will be required to serve for a set number of years after you graduate as an officer.
