Are all Naval OCS positions full for Fiscal Year 2012?
I am a 25 year-old college graduate who is interested in becoming an officer in the Navy. My recruiter has notified me that since all Officer Candidate School positions have been taken for Fiscal Year 2012, I would have to join as enlisted for one year and then submit my package for OCS consideration in 2013. He also mentioned that this would give me a leg up on other civilian candidates. I'm not necessarily opposed to joining the Navy as enlisted, but when I was at MEPS this past week I was told by one of the medical officers that it would be a shame for someone (especially a female) with a college degree to waste it by not attempting to become an officer right out of the gate. They even recommended that I talk to other branches to see if I would be able to enter their officers program. Does anyone have any advice or guidance for me? Should I wait a year to enter the military so that I can apply for OCS? Enter enlisted for a year and then apply? Look into the AF or Army? I haven't taken the ASTB exam, but I got a 97 on the ASVABS...
