Army National Guard....
#21
On active duty, you're correct. But in the Guard or Reserves, officers can pick their branch and unit. All you have to do is find a unit that you'd like to join and see if they have a slot for you. If so, you go through OCS and when you get your butter bar, you report in to your unit.
