Going to talk to a recruiter, can anyone offer unbais opinions/facts about going officer vs. enlisted.. so far everyone trys to talk down the other, (enlisted if officer and vs. versa)
I am told enlisted get to do the fun stuff...does this mean officers only do paper work etc. and the buisness end of things? I wish there was a "ride along" type deal to tail a officer for a day to see their daily duties.
I'm not looking necessarly for a title, but would like responsibility.
I was also told that in the midwest there are very few openings in reserve units. I am considering either reserve or active. However I would prefer reserve officer, however there apparently are no openings currently and they are hard to come by according to the recruiter's email.
Finishing up the BA in Criminal Justice and a AS in Paramedic. Wondering if it would be smarter to wait to finish school then get in, as I'm not sure what the perks of getting in now would be if I have to do 4 years of active when I am done anyhow.
Again..when it comes to the particulars, I'm green. Dont know much, have been reading the websites for the CG alot, but would be easier to ask questions etc. before going in..anyone who is in now or has been in, have any info/suggestions i would appreciate it. I'm 24 in a month if that means anything.
Thanks fellas
