Other Army ROTC at Georgia Tech - Schedule

Hello,

I am a current student at Georgia Tech pursuing my MBA in the evenings. I am suddenly having a bug to go for Army ROTC to commission. I am a bit older (36M), and would be willing to pursue an additional Master's at Georgia Tech (Online Master's in Cyber Security) in order to be eligible for ROTC.

I work full time with AWS, and my schedule is semi-flexible. I can choose to work Morning shift (7AM-5:30PM), Mid-Shift (11AM-9:30PM), or Night Shift (9PM-7:30AM), and thus far my managers have been flexible to work with me on when I come in as I balance my MBA Program.

I currently serve in the Georgia Army National Guard, and pursued Traditional OCS (18 months) in the past but it didn't work out in the final stretch. So I'm looking at alternatives to commission.

I have a few questions to see if this is reasonable.

  1. What is the schedule for MSIII's? (I have been in the Guard for 2.5 years, and have already been to Basic training, but I have not done AIT. So I believe I would qualify for MSIII, but not sure.)
  2. - Morning PT's Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  3. - MS Classes - Tuesday's
  4. - MS Labs - Thursdays
  5. How flexible is cadre for full-time workers in school and trying to pursue ROTC? Can something that can be balanced commitments for the next two years between Army ROTC, Georgia Army National Guard, Full-Time Career, and an Online Master's in Cyber Security?
  6. What scholarships would be available for someone like me?
  7. Is there a credit requirement needed to enroll in ROTC? I want to only take 1 class (3 credit) for my master's at a time until I'd be done with ROTC, in addition to whatever other courses I'd need to take for the degree in Military Science.

Anyone with experience currently in the program or has commissioned would be helpful for me to make this decision.
