Is it true that you do not have to go to ait if you contract with rotc?
The answer is NO, though more details are needed. First and foremost are you a member of the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP)? Contracting with ROTC is where you assume the obligation which generally varies based on years "Uncle Same" has paid for your college. Usually the obligations vary based on the time you are required to assume active duty service (though reserve and national guard options exist). The most common is the 4 and 4 which means 4 on active duty and 4 on IRR.
