Basically, the recruiter promised I'd being doing work in my destined field (was studying electrical engineering) during summers off from school. When I was on campus for a scholarship interview, the officer there in charge of the ROTC program chuckled and told me straight faced something along the lines of "no, you'll be swabbing decks until you graduate."
So, I opted to go the self paid route. Figured after that I couldn't trust anything.
After scholarships and a little financial help from my parents, I graduated in 2003 with about 15k in loans on a 120k priced 4-year education with a dual BSEE and BSCPE.
