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.

I appreciate the input, sir.

The thought had occured to me that it wouldn't be the most honorable move to sign an ROTC contract with the intention of renigging on it to go 18X, even if that were a possibility.

And keeping in mind that honor and integrity extend to all facets of life, not just the situations which benefit us, I leave now with the idea that should I sign an ROTC contract, I sign it with the intention of making good on it.

Thanks for the correction.
