re: Any Military Officers here?

Went through Army OCS back in 2009. Branched Military Intelligence and have deployed twice (12 months as a LT, 7 months as a CPT). I've been stationed in Arizona, Hawaii, and Tennessee for extended periods. I've absolutely loved the opportunities the Army has given me. Me and the wife love traveling and moving around and the Army has given us a lot of chances to do that. Benefits are exceptional.

Like with any job, there are frustrations and annoyances but the good has far outweighed the bad for me. Plus, if you hate your job, you're only going to be in it for a year or two before you move on to the next one.

Due the downsizing, OCS classes have reduced significantly since I went through. We had a new class starting every three weeks. And it is exponentially more difficult to get in. Broad brush, they want STEM degrees from well known institutions. In 2009, they would take you without a degree as long as you had all four appendages. armyocs.com is a great resource.
