Im enlisting is the army, w 55 hrs of college, i want to get a bachelor, and become an officier? advice please

Do the ROTC thing. If you want to be an officer, be one from the start.Im enlisting is the army, w 55 hrs of college, i want to get a bachelor, and become an officier? advice please
Consider another branch of the service besides the Army. How about the Air Force?





Another option would be ROTC. You could apply for a 2 year scholarship. They are taking applications now for NROTC for fall of 2009 that I know of. You could be commissioned upon graduation.





All branches have education programs for enlisted to become officers, but the competition is tough. To finish your degree going part time would take about 6 years. Using tuition assistance you're limited to 12 hrs. a year.Im enlisting is the army, w 55 hrs of college, i want to get a bachelor, and become an officier? advice please
If you want to be an Officer, don't enlist. The first 3 years of your enlistment, you will likely be picking up trash or some other brainless job. Then when you get near the end of your contract, they will give you some training to make you want to reenlist. Also, you will be working 12 hours on and 12 hours off. When do you think you'll have time to finish school?
you can go to ocs when you have 60 credits, as long as you are going to be reserves, if you are going active duty then i would join an rotc unit until you have 90 credits then(and this parts important) go to FEDERAL OCS. otherwise you're screwed. I can give you all the info you want on this since i am doing it. just message me
Get your Degree in something the military is short of like medical or language etc first.


Naval/Marine is the toughest and Air Force is the least, same is true in most respects.


Officer's commission is at least 6 years and you could get fired, but unlikely judging by the quality of the ranks.





Good Luck
I would also say get your degree first, if you can, and apply directly to OCS. There are also ROTC programs available at many colleges that will give you a leg up into an officer program. Apply for an ROTC scholarship or other grants if you need financial aid.
the last guy that answered is an idiot. Just check out asvab scores for even enlisted members for the different services. I'll give you my e mail I currently live in China on a government job but would love to help tpw4591@yahoo.com
Join the Army National Guard, you can get the rest of your college paid for through state tuition assistance and the federal GI Bill.
Get your degree first. That's my advice. With the current Op Tempo it will take you 6 or 8 years to finish up on active duty.
yes do ROTC
here's some advice,, unless your dream is to fly, don't enlist
