(Assuming you're in the US...)
I saw you were applying to colleges earlier. In case you haven't been bombarded with the junk mail, it's an almost guaranteed bump into officer-hood from the start. I'm in grad school. I STILL get that mail. I can't imagine their enlistment from graduate departments is all that high. Anyway...my question is (if college is still on the table), how long would it take to climb to officer status? More than 4 years? Or is this a potential option in lieu of college?
Frankly, several friends of mine who signed up went to Iraq. I know you've thought about that, but Iraq and Afghanistan are likely places you'd go as soon as they could send you (or Columbia or Korea).
And you might find this amusing Felix...was talking to a friend in the department with me who was in the army once upon a time stationed in Germany. They got sent back to Georgia, to which her comment was "Man, that really sucked. We actually had to do army stuff, unlike in Germany."
