re: I know we have several military guys on this board

I was actually quite surprised in how often officers receive a direct commission in the Army Reserve, particularly in my AOC (Medical Service Corps - 70B). It is a board process conducted (I believe) twice a year. The primary requirement is an undergraduate degree of any sort. I have to be honest, I am not a fan of the direct commissioning process. I am a former NCO (SSG 11B) and an ROTC graduate (DMG) and they (too often) do not have the leadership experience and/or training necessary to be an effective officer. Just my opinion in that regard. Would much rather OCS or ROTC graduates (we only infrequently get USMA graduates after they have completed their statuatory obgligation).

I concur. I wasn't sure how the process worked. I recently got discharged from active duty served my four years as a 68w. I could have picked up my e6 if I stayed in. I'm taking my prerequisites before I get accepted into a physician assistant program. Spent my last year at ft. Stewart's medical simulation training center and at West Point during the summer time for their field training and the new cadets basic training.
