If you're active duty enlisted thinking about stepping up, which route would you pick and why? As for prior service commissioned and warrant, why did you choose the path that you did, other than it was the only available option at a time.

As for me, just submitted commission package for Intel. Hopefully hear something back next month when the board convenes. The reason I chose that path is why not? About to finish MBA with concentration in Information Security, let my voice be heard further and wider, and far better retirement benefits.

You've probably heard of this one...I had a recommend for it, I couldn't get it...this one, I really did want to go to, honest...they also have a little known online PhD in comp sci (CS), if that'd interest you at all, I'll try to find the site....

All warrants and commissioned in all svcs can submit for this, I also saw YouTube videos on senior Army and USAF enlisted allowed to go there to finish their PhDs....

Look through these also, USCG has sevl direct commission programs, I realize you might not necessarily want that direction, I'm just suggesting ideas at the moment, just for you to at least mull over, OK?

Join this, it's not necessaril all inclusive, it doesn't have Army OCS, or any of the direct commission indoc OIS programs, however, the forum about the five major OCS programs would certainly be of use to you, I should think....

This is the Army equivalent...would you be willing to go intersvc? Also, give as much as you can here on specific course titles you've done, esp. all the STEM stuff, math, physics, chem, bio, comp sci (CS), IT, engineering, all of it, try to be as exact as possible, the more you give all of us, the more we can suggest, OK?

OK, I've got a reasonable clue what you want, and how much you've done...this just started recently, look at this first, honestly, if there's a shortage, I should certainly think you'd be well suited, by all means, I'll suggest other stuff, admin asks that I try to not bombard with too many suggestions all at once, so I'll keep it limited, till you have a chance to wade through what I send...it'd help to know more, though...associates? Bachelors? Majors in each? GPAs? Grades? Flight interests, if any? PhD aspirations, also? Hobbies? Reading interests? Any publications? Masters thesis at all? If so, on what? Lemme send this, then I'll try to send more, OK?
