Product Description This electronic book on CD-ROM provides a comprehensive guide to the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) - Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Junior ROTC. The military declares that the Reserve Officers' Training Corps is one of the best leadership courses in the country as part of a college curriculum. During classes, leadership labs, physical training and field training exercises, students learn firsthand what it takes to lead others, motivate groups and conduct missions as an Officer in the Army. Upon graduation from Army ROTC, students earn the bar of a Second Lieutenant and are commissioned into the Active Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard and become a leader for life. ROTC has a long, rich history of producing some of the most notable leaders in our country's history. ROTC scholarships are full tuition and based on a student's merit, not financial need. There are also separate allowances for books and fees as well as stipends that are worth up to $5,000 annually, all of which allow students to focus on academics and their training rather than their finances. ROTC's unique leadership curriculum is offered at colleges nationwide. Students who successfully complete the program earn the rank of Second Lieutenant and can start a career in a wide range of different branches and specialties. Soldiers currently enlisted in the military have the opportunity to rise up in the ranks to Officership with unique programs designed just for them. The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) was born when President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act of 1916. Since its inception, Army ROTC has provided leadership and military training at schools and universities across the country and has commissioned more than a half million Officers. It is the largest commissioning source in the American military. Army ROTC is a diverse group of men and women with more than 20,000 Cadets currently enrolled. Women
