After completing their undergraduate degree and military science requirements, Cadets are commissioned as Second Lieutenant’s in the United States Army. They then go on serve on active duty, in the U.S. Army Reserse, or the National Guard.
Army ROTC has been the most rewarding activity I have ever been involved in. I've met some of my best friends at the University of Maine and from across the country while participating in training that has challenged me both physically and mentally. Army ROTC gave me the motivation to focus on academics in a way that I had never done before and consequently made me a much better student. My experience with UMaine Army ROTC has exceeded every expectation I had coming into the program and has allowed me to exceed all the expectations I had for myself.
