If being an active duty officer is your long term goal I’d recommend pursuing and active commission. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 21 Jul 2020 19:07:57 -0400 2020-07-21T19:07:57-04:00 Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 21 at 2020 7:13 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/if-i-commission-in-the-guard-after-leaving-active-duty-can-i-return-to-active-duty-as-an-officer-before-my-service-obligation-expires?n=6125181&urlhash=6125181 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recommend you go to the guard or reserve and enroll in the SMP program through ROTC. you can compete for an Active commission.
