<p>Thanks for the explanation NROTCgrad. I wasn’t asking for my son … it’s for one of my friends. So for someone who is already on scholarship, there really isn’t much financial incentive to join. In fact, if one is on full scholarship, what would be the reason someone would join? Would you get a slightly better assignment since that person would be a better “deal”? (I’m sure there are other benefits and solid reasons … I’m honestly asking what they are because my gf and I are both a little perplexed.)</p>
