Any advice about Green to Gold? How about versus OCS?

SPC Toombes....when I joined at 24, I thought I'd do my 6 and get out. Then, at 27, I thought, maybe I'll just go to OCS. Then, all of a sudden, I thought, let's go Warrant. Later on, around 30, I thought, you know what, Green to Gold, or maybe OCS. Then the requirements changed, and before you know it, here I am at 34, past the age for any of those options to work for me, and without the degree to help me accompish OCS or G2G. What I will tell you is that moving up the ranks, and being a non-commissioned officer is an amazing experience, and like none I'd ever imagined. No one can tell you is it worth it, except for you. But better to try, while you've still got that fire than to woulda, coulda, shoulda your opportunity into nothing. YMMV.

If anyone is interested into the ROTC program, I am finishing up with my program. I am a Green 2 Gold Active Duty Option candidate. I was a 68W but now I will be a Quartermaster Officer. It is a lot of work, but if you are dedicated you can get accepted and achieve what a elite few do!!
