I live in Alabama, and I'd like to stay close to home if I can. So, are there any military colleges in Alabama that anyone can recommend?
Yes, there are several military colleges in Alabama you may want to consider.
1. Marion Military Institute (MMI) is a two-year college located in Marion, Alabama. As one of only four military junior colleges in the U.S., MMI provides freshmen and sophomore-level education and also offers an Early Commissioning Program where students can obtain the rank of second lieutenant after two years.
2. The University of North Alabama's ROTC program is another option. The UNA ROTC program offers leadership training and military skills, with the possibility of commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army upon graduation.
3. Jacksonville State University also offers an Army ROTC program. Students enrolled in the ROTC program can continue their college education and serve in the military at the same time.
Remember, each of these options has unique attributes, from the college experience and standard of teaching to the specific military branches they train and prepare you for. It's important to research these options thoroughly and understand the commitment associated with military colleges. You may also want to reach out to current students or alumni to get their perspective.
