    The only way the army will pay for your college ( and programs change constantly ) is as follows:

    1) You join ROTC AND--OPERATIVE WORD IS AND---get a scholarship. ROTC does not automatically pay for your scholarship. If you get a scholarship, you automatically contract with the military and get a montly stipend in addition to your tuition. You cannot be called to active duty while in college as you are not an officer---unless you have prior military experience AND are in a reserve unit or IMA slot.

    2) You are on active duty and sign up for one of the base college course programs. Since you're active duty you could be reassigned to a combat zone.

    3) You are in the reserves/active duty and qualify for college tuition payments along one of the preset plans the army used to/currently has. The money is given to you over a period of years as oppsoed to a lump sum.


    If you're going into the army, realize that the mission of the army is war. If you're going combat arms---realize that the mission of combat arms is war. Don't use the military to pay for college---you may not be assigned to a combat zone, but you could be called to serve and you may think your assignment is hell, even if its not combat.
