Those are the ppl that get saluted everytime you see them. It is required.
They make the most money and they call most of the shots.
Quote from my captain(officer) on my boat (Coast Guard).
"We'll be out to sea longer than expected. I'm not sure how long. Some of yall will miss your leave (vacation time) but I know we'll be back in two weeks so I can take my vacation."

@mikey you need to complete your BA to be an officer.. you graduate yet? also you can join enlisted then later become an officer.. but if you close to graduating def just go the officer route.
-
Yeah I graduate in 2018

the military is split up into enlisted and officers for the most part.. i know the army and marines too i think they have "warrant officers" but im not 100% on that. Enlisted folks are the workers and officers are the ones in charge, Lieutenant, captains, colonels, generals etc etc ... there the ones that get saluted. officers make more pay, your in charge etc ..enlisted you work yourself up the ranks.. but even if you make it to E9 your not making the kind of bread a 0-3 makes... if i remember correctly
heres a link to the military pay scale.. gives you a better idea of what im talking about

I ? hated officers. Any chance i took to punk one i jumped at it.
They constantly over step their bounds and try to punk NCO's in front of their soldiers. Not realizing the effect it has on a NCO's soldiers and that NCO's ability to lead.
Officers think they are superior because they do the logistics, while we do the ground pounding.
Officers constantly send enlisted out on ? up missions while they sit in the lap of luxury.
Most do not even deserve their awards or combat patches.

Depends but these days if you are on top of your game you will be able to just do online course or on campus courses. Graduate in your time. While you are in. Network extra hard and have people sign off on you putting a package. GEt some Generals to do a write up and you will be a shoe in. -
Explain the end part @caddo man

Airforce got fine hoes, they only be checking for other branches soldiers however. and yall constantly stay near other branches
use the airforce to reach your goals, they are going to use you. start building your retirement, pay for school or finish school.
paycheck will be steady
I had no problems. Especially in tech school. But yeah AF generally doesn't pick up the most fit dudes of the branches -

So when you are enlisted and want to go officer (get commissioned) you have to do what they call a package. It consist of recommendations, your transcripts, and other things from your military time. they have a board and you are either picked or told to try again. the best package depending in the slots are picked.
With you being young there are many programs you can apply for to become an officer. But like all things networking gets you farther. Get the right people to sign off on you and you will be picked the first time. -

Don't automatically become an officer. Go through the enlisted struggle. You might like being an NCO more. -
