Stay Enlisted or go Officer?

[CLEP101]

Thanks guys for all the feedback, and yes "butter bars do suck" 94steve. Its not their fault, they can't help it. hilarious
Quick story : we (E7s and above) had to dress up in our Blues and As yesterday for Thanksgiving and serve the rest of the troops their meals. While I was conducting the uniform inspection on everyone including the officers, in walks my favorite butter bar 5 minutes late. I put him in line and quickly noticed that his four ribbons were crooked and out of order. I told the E7 the Lt worked with to take him away and fix him. The full bird Colonel had a good laugh and just said, "I remember those days".

Well, as I was reading the OCS application, I discovered that I qualify in everything except in one area. I have to be able to run, and not have a permanent profile. As I have a busted lower back and a permanent profile, I cannot do that. So now, I think I will go Direct Commission route. I have to bust my butt to finish my Masters in Public Health so I can go into the Preventive Medicine field. I talked to the Officers in the field and said that a Masters in Public Health will get me picked up. I'll be doing Occupational Health and Safety type work. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks again for the feed back.
