![]() ![]() You can be tasked with leading troops as a Department Head or Det Commander. As an Officer you will be held to the same minimum standards of fitness and physical readiness as all other service members. There are some weird exemptions for Chaplains and Medical Officers but that's outside the scope of your question. If you don't have a 4 year degree and are not getting ready to graduate then that's a totally different conversation.Īll uniformed military service members are required to go to basic training and their service's officer training pipeline. If you have an accredited 4 year engineering degree then you'd be crazy to enlist, you need to talk to an Officer recruiter, who are different than enlisted recruiters. So the question is, why do you ask? What is it that interests you? Don't join the military unless you want to be in the military, first. I'm not an engineer but I'm a vet who has a lot of time in the relevant areas, both contacting and as a federal employee /u/PUBspotter is absolutely right. I'm going the Army route because I want to do something infantry related, but the Army makes it easy enough to switch over to another specialty. If you want to do engineering, Air Force and Navy are the way to go, and I'm sure PUBspotter can tell you a lot about the Air Force. However, an engineering degree will give you preference for some MOS's (they aren't called this for officers in some branches) and billets, so it definitely isn't a waste as I keep on being told by people who have no military experience (mainly professors). Yes you have to make PT standards, yes you have to meet BMI standards, and yes you will have to do physical training. ROTC is an option as well if you are 2 or more years away from graduation. I don't really know how it works for the Airforce, but you can ask PUBspotter. You will go through bootcamp, and upon graduation you will be sent to OCS. For the Army, you enlist with it being said in your contract that you will be sent to OCS. If you go into the Navy or Marines, you'll meet with someone called an OSO (Officer Selection Officer), then you'll be sent to OCS. You might not do Engineering, but they will look favorably upon your engineering major, does that make sense? Meme posts made outside this time will be removed.
