How difficult is it to enlist for OCS straight out of college and get your first branch of choice as 17A(cyber)? I am a prior service army medic, have a bachelors in Computer Science, and the Army recruiting site says the requirements for the branch are a degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering. I figure there cant possibly be that many people in ROTC, OCS, or West Point that have those degrees and want that branch, so if I list it as my first choice I should get it.

And being clinical already, look at USUHS, the svc med school, they have PhD programs, you'd be well suited for the one in physiology, I'd also look heavily at bioengineering, esp human factors and main in the loop interaction, as well as simulator design, and workload studies, both for aircraft cockpits, as we'll as shipboard simulator design, I think you'd find it quite to your taste, possibly....

Yea a I think I might of had a misconception on this. I just assumed most of them would prefer to get the civilian paychecks if they are going to do a difficult degree like engineering, so I did not think it would be common in commission programs.
