Do you have what it takes to inspire strength in others?
Some of the greatest leaders in our country's history have been Army Officers. You can be part of that proud tradition. Today's Army Officer Corps provides leadership to the strongest, smartest team in the world. As an Officer, you'll be proud of who you are – a respected leader, a person to whom others will look when decisions are crucial. You are responsible; honing management, leadership, and decision-making skills you'll use the rest of your career – either in the Army or in the civilian world.
The two pre-college paths to Army Officership are West Point and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). If you'd like to get more information about becoming an Officer, you are cordially invited to attend an information session taking place in Concord, NH. The details are listed below. This event will be an excellent opportunity for you to gain valuable information to help you decide whether to include West Point or an ROTC program among the higher education options you will be considering.
