A Message To Parents
Every Soldier in our Military has a personal reason for joining the U.S. Army, your son or your daughter are no different. The stories of our young Soldiers and their parents help to understand why they chose to serve. Serving in the Military as an Officer can provide your children an additional springboard that will propel them to success in any of their future endeavors! Whether it be lifelong service to the nation or a rewarding civilian career.
Letting Your Child Pursue Their Dreams
A doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, or a police officer. No matter in what your son or your daughter's interest lie, the Army offers amazing training in a wide variety of career interests. A wide variety of skills and leadership training can be found in all of the Army's 16 Branches.
Make College Affordable
Our kids going to school can be expensive, even with all the federal aid, and state benefits, sending your kids to school can still seem out of reach. Army ROTC offers rich benefits that can make your son or daughter earning a degree attainable. ROTC can offer Scholarship money, stipends, and other academic incentives.
Supporting Your Kids
Understanding that when your son or daughter decides to join Army ROTC they are making a deep personal committment that will give them strength and focus to succeed in their lives. To become someone that will make you proud. This personal committment is a reflection of their own character, and the character they have within them that was imparted onto them by their parents, you should be proud!
Standing By and Supporting Them on the Journey
They will learn what it means to be a Soldier while learning how to face new levels of responsibility, discipline, courage, and finding the strength within themselves. But first they will need you to stand by them.
We at NMSU ROTC applaud all parents as they watch their son's and daughters embark on the journey to becoming Army Officers with us.
