Being a commissioned officer in the military is always good.  Now if you stay in for 20+ years, that's even better.  You retire after 20 years and corporations are after you like crazy.

The chance you take is active duty.  War zone, etc.

I'm aware of the pay scale. It's decent. At O-1, LTJG or 2nd LT (pending branch), it's 40ishK. Increases with time of service and advancement. But these are slow increases over time. 

I thought there was some kind of monetary incentive that I was unaware of.

They also pay all of their cadets a full salary far in excess of the money a player can (within the rules) receive at most other D1 schools.

I can never blame a kid for making the right choice for his future.

I can and do blame coaches for a failure to articulate why that choice should be UNT.

Don't we have an ROTC program? ;)

So you want everyone to support the football team but you don't want to be supportive of our ROTC program?

Yeah, buddy. I'm anti-military. You caught me. 

And for the record, I actually think ROTC is a joke. It's playing boy scout, not military.

It's alum like you that are satisfied with a boy scout like ROTC rather than a military type because you refuse to support them. So familiar to one of your recent rants?

Suure? ROTC doesn't move the needle for me. You can't get ROTC to be military "type." Too many liabilities. Even at ATM. They can proudly cut their hair high and tight and wear their overly small uniforms, but 'at the end of the day', it's playing military. It's nothing like the military and it will never be. 

Thread has been pushed off topic. I support this guy going wherever he wants so as long as it's not smug. I blame the coaches for not getting him HERE.
