Do you have to go to the military first and then after to college, or can you go to college first?

Depends on which program you are using. With ROTC, there are 2, 3 and 4-year scholarships available to help pay the costs of a college education. Afterward, you are eligible to receive a commission to serve as an Officer for so many years of service.
It is more common for people to enlist, serve out there enlistment, and then use the education benefits earned to pay for college. Also, many are able to take one or two college courses toward their degree while serving out their enlisted service obligation (4 years active, 4 years reserve is the standard commitment).
Or you could go Reserves, though the education benefits aren’t quite as comprehensive as what you would have earned through active duty.
The NG has a college first program you can look into.
You can use your TA while you serve but can’t use your Gi Bill right away.
You can always go to college first and come in has an officer and have the military pay off some of your loans.
Many options to consider do some research.
you can go while you are serving. but you hafta have an MOS that will be able to give you the time off that you need for school. which is rare. otherwise you can use your GI Bill when you get out of the military.
