Hello all, ive been a reader for some time, its nice to finally meet you all . I was considering joining the reserves and then going to school and being a part of ROTC, and eventually joining the SMP program. However I have some questions and I was hoping you guys could help me.
Some things to note:
I was planning on joining PSYOPS in the reserves. I have heard this is a demanding MOS (correct me if im wrong).
I have 16 credit hours already.
My Questions:
I have heard that going to BMT and AIT counts as the first 2 years of ROTC is this true?
I have heard that pursuing a degree and keeping up with ROTC obligations in PSYOPS is next to impossible due to the OPTEMPO, could someone elaborate on this for me?
How competitive is getting into SMP?
I cannot seem to get straight answers from anyone and I would appreciate any answers you can provide. I would also like to hear your suggestions on the matter, if you think I should go another route than I would love to hear it! My goal is ultimately to commission and its a long road to it, I just need some guidance. Thanks ahead of time!
