I'm planning on going back to college and keeping my nose in the books and bringing my GPA back up, once I do that, I will be eligible to sign an ROTC scholarship.
My question is, right now I've got mucho admiration and respect for the men that make up Army SF, and I would one day like to be among them:
So upon graduation, is turning down a comission and going 18x a possibility, given the fact that the Army would have at that point invested a great deal of money into a future Platoon Commander?
Either possibility, be it platoon commander or SF NCO would be a great privledge and responsibility, and I realize that I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but I would like to take this into consideration before I obligate myself to an Army comission if what I would rather be is an SF NCO.
Any and all replies, be they criticism or otherwise, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

TS, AM, Razor, COL Jack and Reaper, I know this isn't a thread I'd typically be involved in, but it's an Officer question, and I'm pretty sure it's in line with what both of you are thinking anyways.... If not, I'll delete.
Once you sign an ROTC scholorship you're under contract to become an Army Officer.
If I'm reading this right, your intention is to determine the feasibility to break the contract under the premise that the Army invested a lot of money in you so you're in the position to put the Army between a rock and a hard place. This would make the contract worthless in the first place.
Additionally, it would put into question the integrity of any individual who entered into that contract at the beginning. And if integrity is an issue, we don't need you as an officer in the Army. I'm pretty sure the QPs wouldn't want you either.
