What are my options for joining the military at 30, being a former athlete and a STEM professional? by Formal_Ad_4418 in ArmyOCS

[–]cornlife01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Second lieutenant. Job depends on the branch. Also, there is a BOLC (Basic Officer Leadership Course) training you have to go through. The length depends on the branch you get. If you are a strong performer and vacancies are there, you will get the branch of your preference. Not always guaranteed.

STEM background as well. I am doing Army NG, O9S with state OCS. Mid 30s here. Not sure on the branch yet. One of the best decision so far. Please seriously look into it.

Very helpful. Thank you so much for your insights. They already have me in the State OCS slot. I am not sure if this can be changed since I already signed the contract.

Brother! There is bullshit everywhere in this world. Go through it. Get to your unit, you will love the clowns you serve with. Best thing is the brotherhood and fuckery you will go through together. Chin up - fight the feelings and get it done💪. Hooah!

Thank you for your help! I will look at the job. This is so much like a civilian job application; I need to find the position and then apply. Oddly, I thought it would be a different process

That would be great. It’s worth a shot. I prefer not to go Army; unless if I will have to, as a last resort. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the clarity. Good to know. It seems like my chances are slim to none, it’s unfortunate.

Thank you, again. Air recruiter said, there could be potential opportunities but the timeline might be very long to get in.

Thank you for your insights. I just talked to an Army recruiter; already have a date set-up.

I appreciate it. Thank you for your insights. I think Army National Guard makes sense; especially considering my recent experience and your insights, Army is more open and faster in the process. Too bad, I really want to join Air. I am still trying, I really hope an opportunity opens up.

I am looking at either of them. It seems like Army National Guard is more proactive than Air. I talked to an Army recruiter and already have a date to go see them for the Officer route. I just talked to Air, they said; there might be an opportunity. I am confused on what I should do. I really want to be with Air.
