Remember…talk to a recruiter if you want to enlist…talk to someone in the ROTC department if you want to be an officer. Recruiters are high pressure salespeople, as noted before. They won’t outright lie to you, but if you don’t know the right questions to ask, they aren’t going to volunteer any information that would sway you against enlisting. Be sure to get in writing any assurances that you won’t be deployed before completing your degree. Get that in writing before you sign on the dotted line.

Starting pay for enlisted:
$1,301(base) + $295(housing) + $279(subsistence) = $1,875/month

Starting pay for officer:
$2,469(base) + $527(housing) + $192(subsistence) = $3,188/month

About the length of obligation…my S is on an AF ROTC scholarship, and his obligation will be 4 years of active duty. If he goes to flight school,%2
