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.

Somehow I doubt they would let a Marine Officer sit around and do fuck all. I'm sure America will get into some type of shit by the time I'm in college. We are the international police force after all. Or I could serve a standard enlistment then go to college, but if I plan to stay in the military that long I'll probably just stay grunt and serve another 4 years.
