I'm currently 23, a senior in college, and planning on joining the Army. I've been talking to a recruiter who has been talking to me about enlisting rather than pushing for OCS. Now my main question is, how hard will it be for me to either go to OCS when I'm enlisted, or to Direct Commission. Also, how long would I have to be enlisted before either option would be open, and at that time how much, if not all, of my enlistment bonus would I loose?
Also i would like any feedback about whether or not people feel that having enlistment time is a bonus to being an officer, and if there is a prefered amount people feel is applicable.
Thank you for any replies!
