thank you for all the replies. at this point it does feel like the only way for me to pay for college will be through ROTC and or reserve scholarships. I admit that I will need to do more research.
Does anyone have any idea if there are any oporunitites to do something navy or coast guard related near Louisiana Tech University (near Shreveport).
With the input i have gotten from you guys I feel like my best option right now would be to be in ROTC my freshman year, and explore all possible options while going through my freshman year. There is no obligation to stay ROTC after my first year so I think if I choose to go another route there would be no big deal with that.
Also, I completely understand that I can be deployed at any time while in the reserves. My understanding is that it's not highly likely that would happen. (anyone have a statistic on what percentage of reservists from the air force or any branch are deployed).
