I am currently a college student at a community college and just finished my freshman year. I’ve been accepted to Rutgers University with a 3.2 GPA in college and am a criminal Justice major. My Pt is good and can almost max out both by myself. Wondering if it’s better for me to go AFROTC and compete for an EA spot. I would want to eventually become a security forces officer if I went this route. If I join the AROTC then I want to know my chances of getting active duty. Would want infantry, artillary, armor, or mp.. both ROTC programs would be for a 3 year for myself. Which should I choose so I can become a future officer. Thank you

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.
