I am currently a serving member of the national guard, and will soon be attending college. Are the ROTC benefits all they’re cracked up to be?

If you want to become a US Army officer then yes it's worth it. If you don't then you have no business doing ROTC.

PFC (Join to see) There are good benefits. I taught ROTC about 10 years ago. So I'm not sure what you can get now. I suggest go to the ROTC department and just talk with them and go from there. But ultimately you need to decide if you want to become an officer. What job/branch do you have in mind?

I am a 74D in the Minnesota National Guard. I have not shipped for AIT yet though, as I did “split ops” I’m a senior in high school and completed basic training last summer.

It sounds like it will behoove of you to research the definition and responsibilities of a military officer to include the various types of officers for the branch of service that you are keen on. If that appeals to you then go ROTC. If it does not appeal to you, then don't go ROTC. It's a binary answer.

The scholarship has its perks if you need the financial aid. If you’re interested in becoming an officer it’s definitely a route to consider separate from the Academies, OCS and ‘Green to Gold’ programs. Otherwise not sure what other benefits you’re thinking about.
