hey, i have some basic questions about ROTC which I would really appreciate answered. Ok, first off, i heard that after you complete the program, you have to serve active duty for 3 years or so. Is there any way to get around this, because I want to go to law school after I get my bachelors. I wouldnt mind serving after that, or perhaps part time or something. Also, i am really not sure where to go. Ive always wanted to be able to command a ship, but at the same time becoming a captain in the navy takes a long time, and Im not sure if it is even possible for a reservist. Ive also been considering marine reserves or army reserves. Can somebody possibly list the pros and cons of each or at least tell me what they would go for and why? Thanks. Also, I wanted to know, if say, I got to the rank of Major in the marines. Could I apply to switch service branches, to the navy? If that is possible, how exactly would that work?
