In any case, unless you want to sit about [url=http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/06/army-officer-powerpoint-briefing/]repeating sweet nothings[/url] or [url=http://www.duffelblog.com/2014/06/army-officer-powerpoint-briefing/]desperately trying to validate yourself[/url] then I probably would advise against going straight officer all-out. After all, in the glorious world of staff structuring you're going to probably get stuck at the FOB or in some base office desperately validating the next level-higher's job as he desperately validates it to his boss. Unless you otherwise have prior experience in a, say ROTC/JROTC program or in a military family then just go grunt. I get the impression you want to see action in the deep rear recesses of your mind and on the off-chance war with Russia breaks out or we put boots back on the ground in the middle-east in some ham-fisted attempt to again "stabilize" the middle-east beyond non-committal airstrikes you're not going to get it in the officer corp. You got a at-best 1/9 or 2/9 chance of maybe seeing the field. But I guess you could also join the Donbas Battalion and be in a worse position than army officer.
