How competitive are spots at OCS, how many people who apply for it actually get it?
77777Spooky I don't have any statistics on this as I have looked and they're not published. All I know is that OCS is very difficult 13 weeks.
NICKY MGTV hey Nicky! my rate is ITS ATF, do you know anything about it, or can you give me some info for submarines?
I planned on going the officer route but I didn’t submit my package in time and apparently they select PAOs once a year. Since I didn’t feel like waiting a whole year I’m doing enlisted as an MC and plan on applying after I rank up a bit more
THANK YOU!!! FOR THIS VIDEO AWESOME DUDE!!
I remember a number of enlisted below me who I respected more than some of the officers above me. Friggin Butter Bars!
my dude NickyMGTV killing it with the content !
thanks JT!
JTsuits What up fam!
@@NICKYMGTV you said 4 years of college to be officer, can I do culinary school to become an officer or does it have to be ligit engineer computer science
@@logankirkpatrick5483 4 year bachelors accredited. Does not have to be specific to engineer or computer sicence but has to relate to the type of officer you want to be.
Great Video! But one important thing about when he said you can go enlisted and then get your degree later and then become an officer: Some officer positions are restricted by age. Example: To be a Surface Warfare Officer or Submarine Warfare Officer, you cannot be older than your 29th birthday by the time you earn your commission. Yes, waivers exist if you're past that age but there's no guarantee you'll get one. So if you plan on enlisting then going to college and becoming an officer, make sure you've got a solid game plan/timeline in mind because the enlistment contract + 4 year-degree + officer application process + commissioning program can add those years up past the maximum age.
Great message man! I'm not prior myself but looking at making a switch in branch/job on the O side. No matter where you're at chipping away at the goals takes time and perseverance! Good luck on your aspirations!
Work towards your goals everyday. Powerful message. 💯
Hey Nicky, I hope to hear from you soon. I have a Bachelor's degree, scored a 73 on the pre-ASVAB and spoke with a Navy officer recruiter about joining as an officer and he suggested I become a pilot which I never considered before but love the idea now. The question I have is would I sign as an officer and go directly to OCS in Rhode Island or would I have to sign, attend boot camp, then go to OCS? I am unsure after my own Google research but from what I can gather, it seems only in the Army do officers go to basic alongside enlisted.
Thank you for this awesome video! Super helpful.
I just completed my Officer interview! So excited to eventually hear my results
good luck! you'll be called ma'am and not think you're being told you're old lol.
kerri920 How did it went? I am soon going to an interview for AFROTC and would like your input.
aimhigh_ida let me be your dependa lol
TELL US ALREADY
did you make it
I've had several friends take advantage of the Green to Gold Program or going enlisted to Officer, Navy calls then Mustangs I think. They all said being an Officer was waaaay easier than Enlisted. They got a lot more respect than the other officers for being enlisted first, unless they let it "go to their heads" as it were. Also for ROTC they have a "college program" where you attend ROTC but you pay for the first year or two and if they like your progress will usually give you a scholarship for your last 2-3 years.
Yeah, what they said is true. Being officer isn't easier as I have realized there are pluses and minuses to everything.
I actually know several people in my dep pool in their late 20s including myself who have four year degrees and decided to go enlisted. I would like to see a follow up video regarding enlisted to officer options. From what I was told you need to be E-5 and have a degree but I was told that going this route is a mistake because its tougher to get picked instead of going straight after college is that true? I do not regret going enlisted over officer because I got a pretty sick job that I would not otherwise of gotten with my current 4 year degree. I do hope if I end up liking the military it not as hard as some people have told me to commission in.
M! So if you wanted to commission as a line officer you could apply at your first command no problem. However if you want a specific program sometimes they require you to be E5. I would need more info on what type of officer to get you the instruction so you can prepare. Being enlisted is a great path and has a lot of great benefits as well.
The thing is I was not entirely sure. This was one out of the several reasons why I went enlisted. I got a degree in marketing and was not passionate about so I did not want to make the same mistake picking a job as an officer to end up being in charge of people and hating the rate I picked. As of now I using the military to further my education and figure out my true passions. I was leaning towards one of the more oceanographer officer but I do not have the proper degree. I picked AG as enlisted so if I end up staying in after my 4 yr mark I may go this route or an officer job related to mass com specialist if that exist.
perfect! its exactly what I mean about being self aware. If I were you once you job start talking to officers regularly and networking. They can help you with recommendations, mentorship, and may even know some connections.
SouthernFried87 I wasn't offered a spot. secondly, instead calling people foolish how about having some constructive criticism before making a comment.
@southernfried87 "Choice is clear" do you know me personally or something? I stated in my previous comments with nicky why I went enlisted. I think you should watch nicky video again from start to finish you failed to see the bigger picture. For me personally enlisted was the best choice for me to make. There is more than one way to be successful. and no I am not "flushing away my college degree" lol I strongly disagree. How about you go through the process yourself instead of telling people what they should and should not do.
How long did it take you to get your degree while being active duty? Which online schools do you recommend to take classes through? Hope to hear from you bud and love your content!
I couple things. Enlisted people CAN live off base. If they are married they are automatically entitled to a housing allowance at the dependent rate. If they are single (below E-7) they can request it and it's at the digression of the CO. Normally E-4 over four up to E-6 will be approved (but it's still up to the CO). E-7 and above can elect. Plus these days many shipboard personnel who don't live off base are able to get a barracks room. And the laundry thing. I don't remember ever having to do my own laundry. There was an appointed person in each enlisted birthing compartment who would take laundry down. It was still up the individual to fold their own stuff and put it away.
Nicky I have a 125 units. Im in DEP in right now. Im not yet done with my bachelor's. But Im taking is Bachelor in Secondary Education? Can I be an officer even if its not engineering or nursing in the future? Or should I shift my Degree? I hope for your response. Thankyou.
Thanks for making this video, really cool and helped me out a lot.
Colin Boothman great to hear :)
So it does kind of matter what kind of degree you get? I was thinking about getting a degree in creative writing to get myself commissioned lol
So where can I get more research on this regarding the bachelor degree requirements. I am finishing up my AS degrees and transferring for my bachelor's in kinesiology. And maybe getting my masters in athletic training/sports medicine. And 4 year university's have rotc programs?
woah, that immortal technique bit caught me off guard
If you want to get respect you have to earn it. Getting a salute and getting respect are not the same thing.
can you join any branch as a warrant officer over the age of 30 if you have 14 plus years experience in the m.o.s you test for? more or less going from green to gold with a b.a. as to going from e4 to w1 or w2 with a 2 year degree in a trade of some sort? is that possible?
You should do navy issued gear and uniforms.
do know any one went into mental health job in navy? I have ba in psychology
yes! I do. We have clinical psycholgist, therapist, social workers, and all that. I worked with all of them and had a roomate as a psych tech.
Loving your channel, so much info, and I love it!! I was wondering if you can do a rate review on aircrew, operations specialist, and a gunners mate!! Please!! These are the final rates I am thinking about enlisting in!! Thanks!!
First comment!! 😍😍😍
Sailor Gwen they're coming. I just didn't want to saturate too much with my review of navy jobs series.
u should make a viedo about being a firefighter in the navy
Officer- gets treated like a god
Enlisted- gets treated like absolute dog shit
Do officers see much combat on deployments?
Very helpful! Thank you so much... :) Seriously, you have no idea!
YES NICKY. Good content again! I'm still undecided b/ween officer and enlisted. What's your take on reserves for officer? I know a few people who are full-time uni students and do reserves at the same time.
I always suggest going active duty only because being immersed in the culture is different. Reserve components are great, but they're never fully immersed in the military culture. There is a beauty to the friendships, and experiences you share.
Hi Nick love the videos. I am a new subscriber love the video content and the different perspective you offer being enlisted as long as you have. I have a question, could you do a video on enlisting as FTS (full time support) versus active duty? What the possible pros and cons from choosing ether option. Thank you!
Deployments are more common and frequent for regular active duty which is nice for travel and things like that. The other thing is the advancement for both are different. Looking for a better family life I would do FTS, but you get a better overall experience through active duty in my opinion.
NICKY MGTV Thank you for the breakdown not many active duty sailors knew that much about FTS. Would you say it's easy or difficult to switch from FTS to active duty?
I joined the Navy in 2008, went to Boot Camp in 2009 and got out as a GM2 in 2013. I took a year off and now will graduate with a bachelors degree this year (2017). I'm going to apply for OCS 6 mos out from graduation. It really is a long tough process for the prior enlisted but I honestly think it's worth it. I don't know if I'll get picked up, but from what I know, and from what I've been told, prior enlisted have a pretty good chance of being selected. RE Code 1 is required.
(Navy Munitions Command Detachment Rota, Spain (2010-2013))
Julian Steinbacher thanks for that information and your previous service. I joined he same year. Keep pushing along! I have my degree as well I just hope I get accepted.
Yeah man, I love your videos. I've almost watched them all. I was wondering, if it was possible, to do something like a navy updates, like current events.... Also, YOU would be the best person for this, PLEASE talk about new potential recruits looking at the QUOTAS. There is nothing worse than joining the service and learning that their new rate is locked up. This is very important for young people looking to join the Navy. No One wants to stay a Seaman or a 3rd Class for forever. Quotas and advancement chances are really important to everyone in the Navy!!! -Best, Julian
It's hard to talk current events because I cannot really have a total opinion due to my obligations and regulations I fall under. I appreciate the feedback and I will bring some of that content here.
If you go enlisted, and get a degree while you're in, can you still become an officer? And if so, how does that work?
ethen stack I know I’m late, but yes. There’s a program called Green-to-Gold. It’s pretty much what you’re talking about.
The answer is yes. How? Google is your friend.
@@cycologist7069 what a useless answer.
Don't fucking think about. Don't research about it. Don't fucking do it
@Jalen Chadwick Nobody's able to get a BS in 4 years while in active duty. Either go to school and do ROTC or get a BS then join and get school loan repayment. Believe me, I tried. There's a longer explanation, but that's the summary.
Hey idk if you will read this but im in college right now and Im graduating in a few months. Im thinking about joining the navy and my degree is HHP(human health performance). Any suggestion you can give me?
I would love to be an officer on a ship . Is this possible . I heard you say you can go off base as an officer . Do you have to ?
I finished college last year and earned two bachelor degrees. B.S. in IT and a B.A. In Communications. Will I be able to enlist as an Officer?
Harold J. It's called commissioning as an officer but I understand the lingo mess up. The intel communities are pretty overmanned from what I have seen as they aren't accepting application from enlisted people to go in those fields but you could try and go officer and the worse they say is no. Or they could offer you another officer route.
I'm finishing my BSN next month and I just passed MEPS yesterday and that was the last part of completing my packet to send to the board. I'm hoping to find out in a month or two whether I'm accepted and commission as a RN. I'm so nervous/excited!
Good luck! How long did the process take? I have my bachelors and don't know where to start.
The process wasn't bad at all. I started talking to a recruiter mid January. The part that took the longest was waiting on transcripts to get mailed and I had to get some medical records for meps. If I didn't need the medical records I probably could have been done a month ago. I would just talk to a recruiter. They really helped guide me in what I needed to do.
Hey! I'm a junior with a 3.0 as a History major/EDUC mino(I know, bad idea). if I got in 3.2/3.3 range would I even be considered for a commission? Big fan of your channel!
you should have a 3.0 or higher for your package. I would suggest getting a 3.5 to be competitive.
While the navy would like more technical majors (anything engineering related) it is not a requirement. Buddy of mine who went through OCS had a forestry major. Meet navy physical fitness standards and be a well rounded candidate both academically and as a person and you shouldn't have an issue.
Hey Nicky MGTv if you can you talk about STA 21 thanks?
I have a bs degree in cs. Are there any related jobs as an officer in that field?
Can you do a video on the process of becoming an officer?
this can change depending on the type of officer. So let me know specifically...
Well I'm going to be an AM and I wanna make the navy my career so I was wonder how to commission from there. I just graduated high school and I have a few college credits.
do know any thing about military social worker and whant they do? want is your rank?
they do every functions that you would do in regular social work as far a case management etc. Also follow my social media if you want to see rank and my daily stuff!
I know I'm late 3 years. Does Air Force ROTC do cross commissioning? My state doesn't have NROTC and I'm staying in state because it's cheaper.
Not typically. It can happen, but it is rare. The current branch has to be willing to release you after investing time and money into your training. Specific reasons are because of an overmanning in your expected Officer role. If you aren't currently on the scholarship, it is an easier transition; as in you're a part of the AFROTC but haven't been accepted to the scholarship program-they're not paying for college. If you violate a scholarship program of one branch in an effort to join another branch, it is unlikely the other branch will be forgiving. One Team, One Fight.
I wanna be an officer but I feel like I won’t do good in college and college just isn’t for me anyways. But literally everyone I know who’s military is pushing me to go officer
Nicky! What if I want to enlist as reserve while going to university now and then once I have my degree (Biology related) can I go the officer route?
You can do that!
NICKY MGTV Cool! thanks so much for answering, is it also possible to be an officer in the reserves?
Hey Nicky,
I always wanted to join the military branch, and I’ve decided to join the navy next year. However, my family wants me to go too this program called “Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.” I found out that I would become an officer. But, I won’t experience of becoming or hold a title of a corpsman. Is their a way I can experience a corpsman life while going through this program?
no its a scholarship program. Trust me just go to med school at USUHS and you'll get the good medical experience along the way.
Would there be more opportunities on the officer or enlisted side if I want to be train to become a doctor/nurse while on active duty pay?
doctors and nurses are officers so this question doesn't make sense as to what you are curious about.
NICKY MGTV From what I researched, there are opportunities while on active duty for enlisted soldiers of any rates to go to school to become nurse/pa/doctor. I was wondering if opportunities like that exist on the officer side as well. Thanks for your reply!
yes there is something known as "duty under instruction" which officers apply to go to school while active duty.
Have you ever known anyone to go into officer school with a criminal justice degree?
Yes. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and was selected for Surface Warfare Officer. Just need a solid GPA, OAR (Officer Aptitude Rating) exam score and interview appraisals from officers in the designator in which you are applying.
Are there gyms on all navy ships so Sailors can exercise and stay in shape?
Yes
Will becoming an officer allow you to gain field experience at all?
field experience as far as being in the field boots on ground? We do have weapons officers and many others positions which could give you some experience.
I am interested in joining and going into the navy as a clinical psychologist. I was wondering if you had any information on this at all.
What specific questions? we do have them.
Can you interview a female in the navy and their experience during boot camp as well as their job after boot camp? Also I know that must recruits go in after high school and are very young how about a recruit who comes in as an E3 and is in her 30's.
Thanks
I am trying to get a female on the channel actually. Did you have any specific concerns I can answer?
NICKY MGTV thank you for replying. Well I am looking to join the Navy I am in my 30's I'll be joining as an E3, so I would like to know more information on how to rank up or to become an officer.
Hello, can you become an officer with an associate degree working towards a BA?
Lateavia Burnett No, you need a bachelor's degree.
Is there an emergency medicine specialty in HM?
8404 is the designator code to be with the marines. Pretty simple to get, but dont expect to do much "emergency" stuff.
I'm looking to go HM- 8404, currently at CSU Chico getting my degree in nursing. Anything you can suggest or tell me? To my understanding, your a corpsman yourself. I'm not sure if I want to go greenside or blueside yet, but I have time to think about that still.
you're going to be a nurse. Why not just commission as an RN, and then work directly with corpsman daily, get paid more, and have more responsibility.
Being solely a nurse doesn't fully pique my interest as much as the career content itself. I figured serving in our Navy as a corpsman was much more suited towards such interests. Would the degree apply within this occupation (in regards to rank and extra leadership duties)? To my understanding, you're working to become an officer as well.
@Rich 91 my plans have since changed. While I had gone into pursuing the navy nurse corps, either by means of scholarship or direct ascension after 1y of experience, I had fallen in love with my plan B choice and decided to pursue a career locally. CRNA school can only be achieved following graduation with an RN BSN. I then came to realize how dull that career choice can be. My interest has since focused on completing my degree and focusing on critical care nursing either in the ED or ICU. I graduate with my BSN this December.
I’m thinking of joining the Navy as enlisted for a few years, maybe even 5 or 6, to get the experience under my belt. Then I will request the tools to go to OCS and become an officer. Earn respect as an enlisted and be greatly respected and trusted as an officer.
Just go officer first.
I'm a former college athlete (football) and have my B.S. I thought about going the OCS route in Spec ops and heard it was super competitive. I want to be able to serve my country and do something combat related in the Navy, but at the same time ultilize my degree. Any advice on Officer jobs where I will see combat?
That narrows you down because seeing combat as an officer really puts you in spec ops. Even medical usually has enlisted on the lines and doctors etc. further back receiving patients.
I appreciate the feedback man! Talking to a Officer recruiter now! Excited to join! Hooyah!!
@NICKY MGTV Hey man, I have some pretty specific questions for you about Enlisted and Officer. Is it possible for me to email you or contact you in some other type of way? I want to go in as a Corpsman and eventually become an officer but talking to you may help clear up some details in my mind.
sure! hit me up on instagram @nickymgtv
Hey I have a question for you how do you feel about the military increase
job security is great! secondly this means more options and jobs for you guys!
can’t wait to be an officér 🔥
What medical jobs can you do as an officer? Because you cannot do enlisted jobs.
hospital corpsman an enlisted job
Is there an FBI version of the military?
NCIS?
Can you become an officer while you're serving?
yes!
I want to apply as a officer but, I got a degree international studies. So I might have to get 2nd degree in stem preferable IT.
Is that qualified to apply in officer if you only finished senior highschool?
Michael Yoneoka No way, HS education is not enough
Thank you.
Hey man, I’m currently in and want to apply for ocs after my 2nd command . I want to go swo from the Seabee community. What degree is needed to become a swo?
any degree. You can just google enlisted to OCS and get more info.
Can i not go to OCS some point after enlisting? Maybe a few years down the line?
Daniel Cannata you can
Does anybody know if a criminology four year degree would hold any weight in the military?
Surface Warfare Officer, Pilot, and Flight Officer don't have a specific degree requirement. In the Navy, when you apply to an Officer Community, THAT community accepts you.
Good info!
thanks!
Is it possible to become an officer with little to no college after I enlist, I was told I could once I’m promoted to E4?
only possibility of being an officer without a degree is LDO. You have to wait to be E-6.
NICKY MGTV so I should finish my degree as I’m making my through the ranks I don’t want to settle for LDO thanks again for everything
Can you become an officer with a criminal justice degree?
Jayke Bickford Yes you can. I’m going to be a JAG Officer by the JAG Officer IPP Program.
Yes. I am current HM1 and was just selected for Surface Warfare Officer with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice.
Currently looking at both options. Qualified for NUC but also trying for the NROTC scholarship hmm
go officer then. why turn down an opportunity?
wow thanks for replying!! I submitted my NROTC application and all I have left to do is the officer interview and the physical test. I'm so excited to see if I receive it or not :)
I've done some research and non of it has clarified, do you need a 4-year degree to be a corpsman?
Jerimiah Cook no enlisted job requires a degree
thanks for clarifying! also before you joined the Navy did you do the USNSCC?
because I want to know as much about it before I try to join
What happens If I join enlisted with a degree? ... I dont like much responsibility
Lord Zephyros u usually would get promoted a slight bit faster in the military....thats about it
Can you still take a test when E-3 to become an O-1
Matthew Corry that's never been the case any time recently. You have always needed a degree.
NICKY MGTV What is a warrant officer and how does it work?
Can you make O-4 without a graduate degree?
Yes. Its all dependent on your FITREPS
HOW ABOUT (L D O ) LIMITED DUTY OFFICER
I have a foreign 4-year bachelor degree, can I apply for doing as an Officer?
No it has to be accredited by a US agency.
@@NICKYMGTV Thank you very much for your reply ~ I am US citizen. If I evaluate my degree by a accredited US evaluation service,do you think I have a chance of applying for an officer?
I have my degree. My parents are both veterans and they urge me to NOT enlist. So I will go for officer.
Do a video on Submarines!!
they go under water...lol what else you want to know?!
Troll Theory I say that because it’s a vague questions.
i already have a four year degree and a lot of life experience (i'm 28) and am really interested in OCS... of course my degree is literally in art history! haha... goddamn it. but -- i'm interested in things like naval history and heritage command, naval museums and stuff like that, where my knowledge of conservation and preservation of antiquities etc would be useful. do you have any thoughts?
What jobs are available as Officer?
Jessica Taylor you can check it at the navy's website. There's different areas healthcare, surface warfare, nuclear, aviation, etc
oh snap, My older brither will join as an officer and im going enlisted.
awesome! you can always go officer.
💯💯
It's what I try to do!
NICKY MGTV haha,u definitely keep it real bro. Much love
I'm going in Enlisted but have aspirations to be an officer. So once I get to RTC I'm going to apply for STA-21
You wont be able to apply until you are at your first command due to time constraints and training requirements. Either way good luck!
Why is there such a huge divide between officers and enlisted in the Navy?
In the Army, it's the exact opposite. It's seen as pompous and poor leadership to separate yourself from your men... enlisted always eat first (the lower the rank, the sooner you eat), they share the same dining facility and lines, officers regularly interact with enlisted, officers respect input from enlisted NCO's, and just seem to blend in with the enlisted in general.
The basics are there, sure... higher pay, better living conditions deployed etc. but that's about it.
Is there something historical, or just Navy culture, that set this divide as a precedent?
Just curious.
- Army NCO
Makaio Kalahama the class divide in militaries is historical, has been like this for centuries.
@@Deejus there's gonna be a communist revolution in the navy just like Germany in ww1 😂
Ummm, you spoke of the "benefits".... ???? But what failed to hear that is above all the most important aspect of rank, as an Enlisted Sailor, or a Commissioned Officer in the Navy. ....LEADERSHIP !! As an Officer, your primary responsibility is the Leadership of your Sailors. From day one. As you "advance" in rank, by commission, so does your responsibility, expectations, level of authority, and level of command. Those are the key points of "being" a Commissioned Officer in the Navy. Enlisted, you make up the work force in the Navy and get the job done. As you advance in rank, so does your privilege, abilities, responsibility, experience and knowledge, expectations and yes leadership authority. You DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU BECOME A CHIEF TO BE IN CHARGE. Enlisted Sailors, as you advance in rank gain leadership authority b and responsibility over those who are jr. in rank to them. As your rank advances, you are also responsible to provide Leadership advice and yes perhaps training, or better yet, "guidance" to the Officers in your command, because you have far more experience than they do. As an enlisted Sailor, you are, and have a more direct line, responsible for welfare of your Sailors. Again as you advance, you have more input at a higher level of command. Bottom line, LEADERSHIP, and the level of ability to take care of your Sailors is the key to rank. Be it as a commissioned officer, or enlisted.

officer = superior

i desire in my heart to become navy chaplain. God healed the seizures i had prior my prior enlisted army service. anyone who believes in spirituality, please pray my cateracts n diabetes heals. mom had terminal lupus, she went to fatima instant heal. i still desire a navy chaplain ministry. i am 40. though am catholic, i desire togo through baptist university. go through seminary. n eventually earn chaplain commission. my life's been a long story. i love my fellow veterans no matter their branch. peace :)
Praying that you become one :)
Can you switch from reserve to officer . I have three semesters of college left but I wanted to do reserve first and the finish undergraduate degree and law school? Is it possible?
Taci so I asked my recruiter this same question and he told me "stick to one thing, either reserve or active duty, because while you can switch it'll be complicated and there's a long wait and it'll just complicate everyone so just pick one and stick to it"
Taci why not finish your degree, commission as a reserve officer for more pay, and then go to law school and try to go active from then.
So it ls possible but harder thank you for answering my question I want to be a jag eventually so doing school while being active is not ideal
Thank you I'll keep that in mind going to meps in a few days very helpful
I've always had more respect for the Chiefs than an E-1 or E-2. Who needs a butter bar who thinks they know more when they haven't done shit.
did u mean than o1-o2?
Moreover Officers get way more respect ....
if you want to be an officer; be a staff officer! staff officers has a profession; doctor, nurse, dentists, lawyer, etc. and are happy and satisfied.
line officers does not have a profession. they have open contract. line officers are stationed where the navy needs them. i.e. deck dept., supply dept. etc. they are stationed in the least desirable places. alot of line officers are sad, sorry, wanting and disgruntled. because they don't have a profession, exhausted and overworked!
I will agree that those with professional degrees do have it better only because they are in pocket communities. There are some people that love it though. So it's tough to just say everyone is disgruntled.
We are treated fkn unfairly..If i can take out the damn trash you can fkn do it too..kmft..
There are plenty of officers with shitty degrees, especially from elite colleges. If you go to Harvard and do art history, you're fine.
I'm interested in being a military officer. Do you think I stand a chance competitively if I got a lame degree from a state university, if I graduated in the top 10% of students and as a member of an honor society, and an experience as a college student representative?
My degree will be in history. I'm exploring both army and navy options.
@@IronDeath79 You have a shot. Applying is the only way to find out. Best of luck.
@@Law9652 Thanks, I appreciate it!
@@IronDeath79 Surface Warfare Officer, Pilot, and Flight Officer don't have a specific degree requirements. Plenty of SWOs have a history degree. In the Navy, when you apply to an Officer Community, THAT community accepts you.
@@johnpennacchio1176 Thank you for the information. I've been strongly leaning towards SWO, but it would be wise of me to do more research on my options.
I'm weighing my odds of acceptance based on my current academic background and leadership background. I have strong academics--my GPA has improved since I made my last comment--and I have some history of community service and volunteering. I'm lacking in leadership experiences, though, and although I am not WHOLLY lacking there, it would take some exaggeration to make it anything considerable.
Thank you for your reply, you've given me another way to prepare: I can tailor my preparations to the community I want to get accepted to. Appreciate it!
I truly believe Officers have all the time in the world to sit and study and know more shit hence, a wider span of knowlege because we as enlisted are the ones doing all the shitty work like freaking details and everything to do with outside, we are so tired we dnt even get time for our damn self..I'm done and will be Comissioning .
If I have a bachelors degree and go in as an officer, can i pursue my masters online while on active duty?
yes, you can.
NICKY MGTV Nicky what do know about the intelligence officer field? Is it a good career? Competitive? Good salary?
