Which should I choose, Army ROTC or Air Force ROTC?

Only you can make that choice. We are not you. I had the similar decision to make from HS. AFROTC vs AROTC scholarship. My goals drove me to Army. I think you would have more options as an MP officer than a Security Forces officer just due to reletaive size of the force. But I am biased and not you. It's up to you.

Honestly? I would choose Air Force. Quality of life may be better as well as benefits and pay-those you will need to research though. I love being in the Army and have utilized my benefits but may have gone with the Air Force given different circumstances when I enlisted. Look at all of your options though before making your final decision.

If you want to be a cop or investigator I think any Service will do. If you want to serve in combat, then you can Go Army or you could be an AF pilot. AF Security Forces are important, but the guys in the fighters are the front line troops. You should consider the Coast Guard. They do law enforcement and life saving missions.

Army be about two touchdowns. Common’ what do you what to be when you grow up? The only thing you can control is how hard you work. Neither program is going to guarantee you a branch when you walk in the door. You want to be a cop guarding an airfield or do you want to be a man (person) closing with the enemy? In both cases you end up being an officer. In one you get treated like a human being and in the other you get treated a dog. Everybody loves a dog!

Another thought...I'm not trying to dissuade you, far from it, I grasp your enthusiasm, truly, I'd merely point out that, from the moment you'd go on active as commissioned, you'd ne expected virtually immediately to get a masters, trust me, you won't be told that however, been there, done that (BTDT), trust !e, that's a de facto given, one of those things you only learn by sheer knockabout...if you can get a masters in from justice or forensics at Rutgers, minimum, possolby PhD, I would, iesp if you take sufficiently few credits a semester to keep a GPA in the 3.5-3.6 range, to try to get a grad level assistantship, either an admin grad asst (GA), research asst (RA), or teaching asst (TA). If Rutgers doesn't have grad from justice or forensics, ioo look to see, you can always go to CUNY John Jay, which, while not around the corner, isn't at the other end of the galaxy.

Here's why: once youre in, your ambitions need to take a back seat. Further, the more grad level you've got the less youre distracted by the need to get it once youre in. Further crupim justice is a natlmlead in to law, and going in as a JAG, plus from justice would make you ideal for a world of stuff in the svcs, whether USCG attached to Homeland, possibly, or going Rserve/Guard and then Federal civil servant, possibly NJ State trooper, since that's where Rutgers is, or possibly a local police unit, wherever you'd want. You could!also try for the FBI Academy, DEA, US Marshals Svc, a whole host and litany of Federal law enforcement. I'm trying to offer you a larger perspective than you might've considered till now, obviously, it's your call, however, you can do Pan ROTC as a grad student, which is also something to consider, possibly alsomUSMC PLC, purely a thought, I hope that was of use, I'd be eager to know your thoughts, if I can suggest Kore, just ask, OK?

It all boils down to which uniform do you like better. But seriously folks, the biggest difference is getting dirty, MPs get dirty, SPs don't. It's pretty much the same job. (Strictly coming form a point of reference of knowing little or nothing about MPs and SPs, except for the fact that the little buttheads like to give officers tickets.)

The prejudice; one or the other. We are in one downward spiral, because we are choosing between AROTC & AFROTC, which are similar and identical. I would select both in my Dream Sheet; one of the two could become my next assignment.

I just thought this might give you some slight perspective you !ight not otherwise customarily see....

I thought this might interest you, ifmyour vision is adequate, would you think about going USCG as pilot or nav/WSO? You might try for one of the HITRON units like those depicted here, plus, you could co-train possibly for law enforcement, USCG gives all their personnel law enforcement to no small extent, it's up to you, of course, just a thought....
