If you do ROTC in college, is it difficult to get into infantry when you are on active duty? Any replies would be appreciated.

egoz said:Well I didn't realize you wanted the details. But ROTC is a difficult program to get into. You need to score well on your college entrance exams and be a well rounded character. That means good grades (>3.3 on a 4.0 scale, to be competative) and participation in other high school events like sports, newspapers, student council etc. During college you will have ROTC courses which cover all types of military related material, as if you were going to a war college. You will also have weekly PT and will still need to go to BCT and OTS/OCS upon graduation. There is also a minimum GPA that you need to maintain to keep your ROTC scholarship. They try to pick the best and brightest for the program.
I think I covered all the basics...
