Female ROTC: Not only for Men

Have you ever heard about the ¡®female ROTC¡¯? We used to see some ROTC cadets wearing their uniforms, leading university lives. In most cases, they were mostly male ROTC cadets with hardly any female cadets, because only some schools have an ROTC that recruits females. However, the opportunity for females to enlist in the ROTC exists at CWNU.

What is the ¡®female ROTC¡¯?

The ROTC targets female sophomores at 115 universities. Successful candidates are announced at the end of August, after applications are collected starting in March. Third-year or fourth-year students, after military education in tandem with college graduation, can then enter into military service for two years and four months, or become a professional soldier.

Merits of the female ROTC

There are a lot of advantages in becoming an ROTC cadet. After selection, female cadets can receive scholarships and enlistment bonuses, and are paid to keep up a certain standard of appearance. The training of female soldiers is the same as the training of males, except for certain laws and regulations that differ from male soldiers. They finish the army service as commissioned officers after graduating from university. It is a big advantage because when they get a job, they can receive preferential treatment. Moreover, the CWNU ROTC can get additional support overseas for cadets. If students wish to enter the dormitory, the CWNU ROTC also supports this.

After graduating, female ROTC members can receive a salary as an army executive member. Through the five-day work week, they can have time for themselves. As an army executive member, they can receive benefits from the welfare system. Through the army, they can improve leadership skills and get lots of experiences.

One of the female ROTC cadets said, ¡°Although the female ROTC is hard, I think everyone can do it. There is no duty to enlist in the army for women, so doing military service has a special, personal meaning. Moreover, cadets can receive many advantages from the school. Particularly, I am really satisfied with the dormitory support. I can live in the dormitory for free without worry.¡±

The CWNU ROTC is currently running an advertisement to recruit a preparation team for college freshman, in order to select female ROTC members in 2015 (period of recruitment: Oct 6-31, 2014). All students who prepare for the ROTC can get expenses from the school. If you are a female freshman, how about considering the female ROTC?

You can learn about details through the CWNU ROTC website (www.changwon.ac.kr), or the Army Cadet Command website (www.armyofficer.mil.kr). Or you can make an inquiry by telephone at CWNU ROTC: 055-213-2580 (Leader), 2581 (Office of Discipline), or 2582 (Administration Office).
