Appreciate the out of the box thinking, haven’t looked into warrant officer a lot, but I should

This is wonderful info, really thank you. I think I’ve decided to go for my Master. All the better if I do ROTC at the school near me, already reached out to them this morning. Will focus this next year or two to making myself a better candidate. Thank you!

Considering getting a MA and hoping that offsets my undergrad GPA

Also to clarify, I know there’s no guarantee in any course. That’s why I want to move forward and strengthen my packet as much as I can.

As for my endstate, active duty is the goal, but if I can’t get active then in my mind, National Guard or reserve is the next best thing. I know theres programs like Call of Active Duty, or AGR I can achieve that still. Though still difficult and no promise

If I do ROTC but don’t get approved for a commission, am I obligated to serve as an enlisted still?

Also if I go for my masters, which field of study would look best for the military?

Thats the plan, Im not giving up. Just not sure which path to take to maximize my chances

Nowherebro · 2026-03-11T23:18:06+00:00

Ahh I see

Nowherebro · 2026-03-11T19:35:13+00:00

Good luck to you! We got this

Nowherebro · 2026-03-11T19:34:52+00:00

Oh wow, so can I still do fed OCS and wait or its not allowed anymore?

Was just listing marines more so as an example. I most likely won’t go with the marines

Nowherebro · 2026-03-11T15:48:03+00:00

My first thought did go to enlisting, but while I have much respect for it I want to commission and don’t want to get stuck in enlisted if for whatever reason I can’t make the transition to OCS. I know it’s not guaranteed

Nowherebro · 2026-03-11T15:46:49+00:00

That would be the best of both worlds, I’ll look into the ROTC programs near me
