SCHOLAR, ATHLETE, LEADER (SAL):

The armed forces want individuals who are scholar-athlete-leaders (SAL) to serve as officers. They want students who have good grades, excel in sports and who have served as a student or community leader.

Why?
Well, those students show the mental and physical toughness and discipline that is required for leadership on the battlefield and in the boardroom.

Those of you who seemingly excel in everything might not have considered a life in the military. You may have your eye on climbing the ladder in the business world, a career in professional sports or a life in elected office.

The Army believes ROTC is, in their words, "the perfect stepping stone" to a successful career in the real world. ROTC is "the best leadership course in America," giving students hands on experience in leadership qualities that are needed in most careers. After graduation, students in the program are commissioned officers. They put their leadership skills to the test every day, and when they leave the field of battle, they are prepared for any career in the business world.

So, if you've got good grades, got game and even got government goals, you may want to look into the Ohio University's Army ROTC SAL Program.
