As someone who would never have lasted even three days in the military - help me to understand this…. I thought that if one first had a college degree, then they would join as an officer ? Are you saying that some people get college degrees and then enlist ? Ive seen An Officer and a Gentleman a few times but this doesn’t compute to me .
I could be wrong, but I think if you go the ROTC route in college then you join as an officer. But you can most certainly enlist having a degree in hand, but would need to still be selected and then attend OTC once you're in.

So in order to join as an officer, you first must have been in ROTC while in college ? I never knew that . . I always thought that you could just join the military as an officer as long as you had a college degree .
ETA i guess i dont understand why someone would just ‘enlist’ if they have a college degree and could join up as an officer .
