Hi! I'm Sarah. I'm an Army wife (not a mommy yet). My dad commissioned out of ROTC, and my bro commissioned out of USMA, so I'm somewhat familiar. TX? If you guys are headed to Fort Sam, PM me any questions. My H and I were there for 4 years. I'm over on the MN board, you can page me there.
Yup, my DH commissioned from the college we both went to. Luckily for me he is 3 years older and we didn't start dating until he had only one month left in Iraq right before I graduated, so I haven't been through a deployment yet but he has. He's Army and was first stationed in TX too.
Yes, husband and I BOTH commissioned through ROTC....but from different colleges. I commissioned in the National Guard in 2005 and he went Active Duty in 2004. Not to knock OCS or anything, but i definitely think ROTC is the best way to go! I had a blast in college, and I think the experience made me a pretty well-rounded officer.
We have been to Ft. Gordon, Ft. Knox, Ft. Drum...and now back at Gordon temporarily for officer schooling. When you say TX, do you mean San Antonio? Because Ft. Sam Houston is awesome, and Brooke Army Medical Center would be AMAZING to work at! You will have a blast there! I am orginially from the DC/Baltimore area too...so if you have any questions please feel free to PM me!

my hubby will be starting his commissioning this fall through rotc. he enlisted right out of high school. did basic/AIT then went to college. he got three semesters in before he had to withdraw to deploy. now after four semesters out, he'll be going back. we are excited he is reserves though so he doesn't get stationed like active duty do.
Currently going through our second deployment. Can't wait for Zoe to meet her daddy!
Re: Anyone else (or DH) military by ROTC commission?

Congratulations to your DH!
