Howdy all,
I'm a USAFA cadet Class of 2011 and what I want out of my military career is to be involved in the fight as much as possible. I do not want to be a pilot however, and any Spec. Ops. career fields are out of the question as I am not a strong swimmer.
I was looking into the Security Forces career field and while that looks good for me, I want to have backup plans in case there are not enough SF slots available when I graduate.
That being said, I was wondering if anybody out there knows what I would have to do if I were to cross-commission into the Army or Marine Corps (i.e. extra training like a Basic Training, OCS, etc.) and how I would go about this process, including what to expect as an officer in either of these branches of service and if you happen to have cross-commissioned from USAFA what your experiences were like during the cross-commissioning process and after graduation.
Thanks a bunch!
