I didn't apply for ROTC when I applied for the college I'm going to in the fall and recently called the head of ROTC to ask about joining, so I don't think I'm getting tuition+room+board+stipend paid for... What would happened if say after a year or a year and half, I changed my mind and decided that I didn't want to go into the military or didn't want to be a nurse anymore? Could I drop out of ROTC? Also I read on a few of the threads here that the amount of nurses the military is taking is declining. Is that true? And does that mean that after 4 years of college for nursing and 4 years of ROTC that because of my obligation to the military, I could end up in the army as something other than a nurse? I also saw on a couple of threads that in the army, you're a soldier first and a nurse second. Is that true? In the sense that you'd be in active combat more than doing nursing duties? One last question, is it possible to pick to be in the reserves over active duty as a nurse? Sorry for all the questions, I just really want to make an informed decision.

Hi, I'm looking into joining ROTC and becoming a nurse in the army through that, but I have some questions. 1) If I go through the ROTC program, but don't accept any scholarship money, do I still have an obligation to the army? 2) After going through the ROTC program, where would I work? In VA hospitals or in combat zones? Is there a choice between active duty and the reserves? 3) Is there any real danger as an army nurse?
