College to military

I have a few questions concerning rotc and higher education. I am 21 and in college and I am definitely considering the military after graduation. However, I want to finish up in med school after my bachelors. I just found out that I have army rotc at my campus, but I'm not completely sure if I can continue my education after my bachelors if I am an rotc graduate. Does anyone know if an rotc graduate is automatically signed up for the military after graduation? Also, I don't really want to be in the army. Ever since 9/11 I have seen almost everyone I know leave to war. Most of my buddies are, and were marines (RIP), and that is what I have always wanted to be. I don't think the marines have a medical field though, and I'm not sure if I can even be a marine officer having an army rotc status. I don't know if I just have to plan a little differently or if I need to adjust my expectations. Can someone please provide a solution?

Ok man, first rule- do not go into the military in any way shape or form if don't want to. Live by that haha. The military is awesome, I'm going in myself, but if you don't have a desire , then you're going to be miserable, especially if your only reason is the financial benefits. To answer your question, yes right after 4 year college you would go into the military. Also, there IS Marine ROTC, but the marines don't have a medical branch-the medical branch for the marines is the NAVY, if you wanted to work with marines in a medical vocation-its NAVY for you. Now if the military IS something you want to do, There's a thousand paths you could take here. You could just go straight to med school on your own, then join. Or you could go to med school on an Amry Health Professions scholarship-which pays for med school, but reqquires time in the service. OR, you could go to USUHS-the military's med school. The difference is you get free tuition AND get paid whil you go to school-but, there's a much longer time requirement afterward (seven years). DO research on all that stuff and go with your gut.
