One semester remains in my MS3 year in AROTC, and I am seeking advice on branching.
I am highly passionate about branching as an Infantry Officer, however I have had numerous people in my life advice me to branch Cyber.
I’m a CS major, so this makes sense. I have been told that Cyber will open me to very unique and great “money making” jobs.
While this makes sense and is compelling/wise, I still internally feel a true desire to branch IN because it is where I personally believe I will excel and am most qualified (however I’m not prior service so I would not know for certain). Thoughts?
Unrelated side note — is the BRADSO option a wise decision? I’ve come to believe that it is best to keep your options open, so locking yourself into seven years of service in a job you’ve never done may not be the most ideal choice. But this may be necessary to edge out the odds to receive a branch as competitive as CY.
