Just out of curiosity, aren't you going to college this yr? If so are you trying to decide between doing AROTC and not doing it, but trying later on for OCS?
I know AF and the Army are not the same,so no wet LoMein noodles please, but in the AF world, regarding sought after career fields, it typically goes AFA 1st, AFROTC 2nd, and OCS is there to fill in.
I.E. 2 yrs ago because the AF was cutting personnel for the yr group they actually cancelled their July OCS board for non-rated.
OCS would be 4 yrs in the future, nobody in 2013 can predict the manpower need for 2017.
If you can do AROTC I would think that is a much better path for AD than taking the chance later on. Remember the DOD budget cuts we talk about are not just until Sept, but for 10 yrs. They are going to keep trimming for many more yrs to come.
JMPO, now throw it in the circular filing cabinet. Listen to more experienced posters than me. This is just as I said an outsider looking in from another branch.
