ROTC part. Stay in the Guard. You make more money and if you decide you like the service, your NG service counts toward retirement - your 20 years. ROTC participation doesn't count toward retirement - it does give you a slight increase in pay but your NG pay will be significantly higher. When you get your degree, apply for a direct commission in the military - any of the services. You will be commissioned as a 2d LT with 4 or so years of service and probably will pick up your 1LT much faster than the ROTC guys. Good luck to you You have a tremendous amount of questions here – I'll answer the National Guard v. ROTC part.
