I am currently an 11b in the guard, and I love doing grunt work. I am also a cadet. I am not sure yet of what branch I want to commission as. I really want to earn a CIB, but the odds are pretty slim. I want to go active and be the best I can be. But going reserve and starting my civilian career is pretty enticing too especially during peacetime. My branch choices in order are Infantry, Intel, JAG, Aviation, and Engineer. I love my brief and narrow time in the Army, but I also am unsure if going officer will be the same enjoyment.

I have to agree with you on that one. I came out in 95' during the Clinton years when the budget was tight, equipment and training time was being cut short, and every full Bird and Up that didn't have a real job anymore sat around thinking up administrative stuff for us to do. It wasn't the reason I left, family problems that I thought not being gone would help (it didn't), but it sure didn't give me any additional reasons to stay.

It all depends on what you want to do…and what the OML has you at.
If you want to go Intel, go reserves because the majority, if not all Army Intel is reserves; I can’t comment on the others though.

I was drafted from my teaching job and then went to OCS for my commission. I was an infantry officer who served in Vietnam. I recently served in Desert Storm and Desert Shield as the Mobilization Officer. I was lucky enough to have dual careers, one as a school principal and the other as an LTC in a reserve unit. I advise you to keep both options open and follow the course/ courses that you are most interested in.
