hey guys. so just wanna give you all some background info.
I got the ROTC scholarship in college. declined to go past my 2nd year. (because if i didn't get into med school my first try, i'd be forced to go in as a line officer) I'm glad I did, because I didn't get in and took a year off. ANYHOW. now I have the HPSP scholarship offer (just got it today) and I'm definately happy. However, since I started my application, I've been doing reading on here and talking to people about the whole Air Force deal and I'm starting to have second thoughts (especially since my school is relatively cheap...about 20k for tuition+books). So anyhow, I got the phone call today and I told him that I need some time to think about it and to look over the financial aid deal the school gives me. he said ok and then called me back just now and was like "my boss is pissed. if you decline this offer, it will be a black mark on your social security number." and that I couldn't join the AF later. So now that's gotten me thinking...
1st, wouldn't they have rejected me already from the first time I said no if declining an offer via ROTC scholarship?
I just need some insight all. hope you can help.
I'm definately not set on rejecting of accepting the offer. need to make some choices soon. I've already had to go through some red tape via the AF and i wasn't a big fan. eeek. some elderly advice?
