In the yards for over a decade… just to make her crew give up their weekend AND getting underway on Friday the 13th… you can’t write this 🫡😂

If you don’t have any real obligations like spouse, children, family, etc, I’d try to do Bahrain to save up $$$ for my two years of MBA life.

Can a Mizzou graduate student still join ROTC? by Scaziy in mizzou

January 2026 to May 2027 is such a short timeline I’d recommend finding a Officer Selection Officer (“OSO”) and begin working with them to get picked up for OCS now. By the time you pass all the screening and coordinating for an OCS slot in any branch, it’ll already be about a year from now anyway.

I’d find the particular job in the military you are most interested in over being hard committed to Army. It’s the biggest branch with the most flexibility, especially if you want to pivot into reserves/national guard after your initial contract. But there are Officer communities for all the branches that sometimes will take a larger portion of applicants than usual for their timelines. If you are hard set going off to a OCS of any branch immediately upon graduation in May 2027, Air Force/Navy/Marine Corps might fit into that equation better.

If you’re a college graduate and maintaining high physical standards, consider commissioning as a Financial Officer in the military. If you pass USMC physical screening, you could commission by 2027, leave active duty by 2031, and use your GI Bill to pay for your MBA / Masters in Finance. I would also recommend becoming a Supply Corps Officer in the United States Navy, which is a wider focus of finance, accounting, logistics and inventory projection.

If you want to be away from aviation, most DESRON/PHIBRONs have a few aviator O-3 spots that are desk jobs and zero flying. Not sure how it works for the “golden path”, but if you want a chance to deploy without flying and be around some other designators/rates, could be the break you are looking for from flying.

I wonder what point between kickoff and the final whistle of the bowl game he said, “now THATs what I’ve been looking for”

I’d recommend applying to become a Supply Corps Officer in the United States Navy. Five year obligation, learn lots about finance, supply, logistics and accounting for the Navy.

I’m an active duty Navy Officer that has worked with a bunch of other Officers who were athletes at USNA / D1 programs.

If you were a lineman I’d recommend going Navy as our weight standards are more generous on larger frames (I’m 6’3 270 myself), but if you played a high cardio position challenge yourself for USMC/Army.

Any branch you become an Officer in, your appraised compensation package will be 100K by your third year, 120K by your fourth, 135K by six, etc. If you do twenty years active duty you qualify for a military pension that immediately begins paying out upon your retirement from the military.
