I have made a decision. I am going to go to college first to do an ROTC program. I emailed another recruiter and got his advise on what i should do after high school. He emailed me back and this is what he said:

Ashlee Tomlinson

Well it is an honor for you to request my opinion.  I would tell you that both
options are great the U.S. Army is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage
of no matter what you do.  I would tell you to go ahead and dive right in you
are young and have nothing to loose all the world to gain, get out see the
world experience life and go to school on the U.S. Army's dime at the same
time.  As a junior you area able to join the U.S. Army at the end of your
junior year but you should sit down and at least talk to a recruiter now.

Please give us a call if you have any questions or if you would like to sit
down and talk.

hearing back from here made it easier to make a decision. My parents have been pressuring me about what I'm going to do and after hearing back from SSG (P)Carter it made my decision much easier to make. 

While in college i can also work on my medical degree while perusing my other dream about being in the Army.

 The more I do research I am pulled toward being in the army. I have done a lot of research and it turns out you can be a nurse in the army. I emailed a recruiter and this is what he told me,


Ms. Tomlinson,
Army ROTC students who would like to become Army Nurses participate in ROTC just alike all other ROTC students.  They attend ROTC class and the university required nursing classes.  Upon graduation and completion of all required ROTC classes Nurse typically commission as active duty officers and go on to serve as Army Nurses.
The link below will provide you with more information.  If you would like to correspond with one of our Cadets who are studying Nursing please let me know.

Also I did a lot of other research for being a pediatrician and there are a lot of pros and cons on being a pediatrician and there was a lot. Some i didn’t even think of. Some of the pros is a good pay salary, you get to work with a lot of kids of different ages, and you get to learn about the different types of illnesses there are.

Some con are   long hours of schooling to become a pediatrician, also can very stressful, and when you get attached to that child they either get too big to come back or they switch doctors.
