I made the jump from enlisted to officer for my own reasons - leadership training and career advancement, as well as development for myself for my own personal goals.



My experience was a good one and the move from enlisted to officer was the best move I ever made.  Some people are not wired to be at the front or be responsible for many issues and many people - nothing wrong with that.  Others have a more narrow focus in terms of personality, and others simply don't want to be in charge and just want to be part of the team and do "cool high speed sh*t."  Nothing wrong with that either.  Go with your temperament and long term goals - if Warrant or a Commission is appealing, hopefully for the right reasons, and it fits who you are and who you want to be, do it.
