How does this fit with a public military college which mandates everyone partake in ROTC and yet, the students are as far as I understand…are mostly still viewed as civilians* unlike their FSA or ROTC counterparts who accepted ROTC scholarships or who continued/joined up in the last 2 years** of undergrad at other mostly civilian colleges?
- With the exception of those who accepted ROTC scholarships and those who made their intent to accept military commissions upon graduation clear after the start of their 3rd year.
** My understanding is one can attend ROTC or even the FSAs for up to the first two years without incurring a service obligation unless one has accepted an ROTC scholarship. Upon starting the 3rd year at an FSA or continuing/joining ROTC from junior year onward, one does incur a military service obligation even if one didn’t receive an ROTC scholarship at other mostly civilian colleges.
