Do you want to become an officer and a leader? Do you want to gain valuable experience that employers look for? Army ROTC and The Wolverine battalion is looking for high quality, self-motivated, athletic, and intelligent leaders that have served as an enlisted person in any branch of service who will be able to meet the challenges of military officer leadership.

You can become an officer in as few as two years by simultaneously taking a ROTC class at a local University in addition to your normal college curriculum. Army ROTC is available on each of the three Michigan Campuses, Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint and fits into your college schedule much like an academic minor. Students attending community colleges or other Universities in SE Michigan can also participate in our program. Former and ETSing soldiers as well as NG and Reserve Soldiers in other areas of the country should contact the ROTC program nearest them.

ROTC is normally a four year program but, we can waive up to the first two years for enlisted military experience from any branch of service. Army soldiers may be eligible for a green-to-gold scholarship. http://www.rotc.usaac.army.mil/command/Green2Gold/index.htm

Soldiers currently in the Army NG or Army reserves (or personnel considering joining to include those with experience in a different service) are eligible for the simultaneous membership program (SMP).

Two, three and four year scholarships beginning in January and in September 08 are available for qualified applicants. Three and four year scholarships are also available for college students and high school seniors who have not yet served.

Basic eligibility requirements to contract with ROTC to become an officer include: Complete your degree by your 40^th birthday (must be able to complete by your 31^st birthday to be eligible for a full tuition scholarship), be enrolled full time in pursuit of a baccalaureate or an advanced degree, have a minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, be a U.S. citizen at time of contracting, and meet military medical qualification standards.
