The interest rate is way lower than what I have now.

Yeah...ROTC is way better as far as social life. My younger bro graduated from USAFA...4 yrs of prison! lol
I would wait until you get to your 1st base and settle in before you purchase a car. Sometimes, DFAS can take a bit to kick in when report to your 1st base. I was living off a credit card for the first 3 months lol but when it finally kicked in, the back pay was glorious! Plus, if you become a pilot, I think they still give out that fat bonus that you can use for your NISMO
