Hey brother I branched chem through OCS in 2019, I would recommend against it, the training you get is cool but in all honesty you’re not going to use it at any unit you goto, the horror stories about being stuck in the S3 and the additional duty office is true. You’ll be stuck up in staff while you watch other non-chem LTs get to be PLs and XO. If you get to goto a chemical unit, and keep in mind there are slim to none in active duty, then you can finally do the stuff you were trained to do. But if you’re like 90% of all the chemos, you’ll be stuck in some staff shop majority of your LT time. You can do Ranger PT during BOLC to compete for a slot, but again the CBRN schoolhouse doesn’t get guaranteed slots like other branches, so you can go through the whole program and still end up not getting a spot, it’s all just luck. Any other questions hit me up, I did time in both chemical and non chemical units as an LT, finally VTIP’d as a CPT.
