ROTC

I actually plan on doing ROTC for the Navy, or NROTC. I am applying for the NROTC Scholarship to five different units, or schools. These schools include the University of Maine, Florida State University, Boston College, Villanova University, and the University of Virginia. My number one choice is Villanova University. I really hope to get the scholarship, since it is a full ride. ROTC for any branch of the military is an excellent program to be a part of. It can do many things for a person. It can teach them leadership, hard work, and discipline, qualities that are important to have in the real world. It also is a near guarantee that if you do ROTC, you will have a job coming out of college. And this job does not necessarily have to be combat-based. Your job could be something like a nurse, a doctor, a mechanic, and electrician, a firefighter, a computer programmer, the possibilities are endless. I plan on being a nurse after I graduate college. Although it may be a very big commitment, you get officer's pay while you are in whatever branch you choose to be in. In conclusion, ROTC is an excellent choice, since it can give you skills and benefits that will last a lifetime.
