Joining the ODU 军队参加后备役军官训练军团 straight out of high school simply requires acceptance to ODU as a student, 报名参加 军事 Science and 领导 101 (MSL 101) during your freshman fall semester. However, even if you didn't take this route, you can join at almost any point in your college career. See the options below, and contact your recruiter with any questions.

The Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) is a volunteer officer training program that allows students to be simultaneously enrolled as a MS II, 3, or IV contracted cadet and enlisted Soldier within the reserve components. This provides the future officer with practical and real-life leadership experience while serving as a Reservist or National Guardsman. Should the contracted cadet’s Reserve or National Guard unit deploy, the cadet is contracted into the SMP ROTC program and will not be required to deploy. The cadet can decide to enter Active Duty, 外汇储备, or the National Guard in their senior year of collegiate studies.
Benefits of the Simultaneous Membership Program include:
- Monthly stipend of $420 a month as a contracted Cadet.
- State and/or Federal tuition assistance.
- Earn E-5 pay at drill.
- G.I. Bill benefits for those who qualify.
