Do you want to be an officer in the United States Army? In todays video I will talk about the two most popular ways on making this a reality. ROTC and OCS are the two main commissioning sources for officers. I will be showing you the differences between them and giving you information on what may be the best for you.

Hey man I always been wondering. I am in the 8th grade and when I get to high school I want to do ROTC. After I complete ROTC for high school and college. How can I become an army ranger (in the regiment not the school) I want to do full time and I know how to join the rangers the enlisted way but not the ROTC or officer way.

DOG is correct. You need to be branched Infantry, at least 1 year as a Platoon Leader and submit your packet for RASP. In addition, because you're applying for RASP and you're an Officer, you'll need to complete Ranger School and you MUST be Airborne qualified (attend and graduate Airborne training). Good luck!

I am thinking of doing AROTC/army OCS instead of AFROTC/ airforce OCTS or NROTC/Navy OCS. I heard ROTC gives a better chance of getting the MOS you want is that true? I would preferably be a cyber officer in the army reserve/army ng with rotc. My mom would get super upset with army even as an officer and she would prefer AF or NAVY but mostly airforce. The thing is AFROTC picks ur mos like a lottery same with AF OTS. AFROTC also prefers active and is stingy with commissioning into reserve/ af ng. Navy NROTC mainly only wants unrestricted line officers and absolutely no reserves. I also hear for the marine corps option they also dont want reserves. Wouldn't make more sense to choose army ROTC and commission as a reserve officer to have the best chance of chooisng the MOS i want? My mom would never understand this. I understand Air Force training and treatment is better but that doenst mean everything. Should i just do army rotc then?

Do whatever YOUR heart desires kid. Bless your mom but this is about you and your desires. Don’t sleep on the Coast Guard either. They have a phenomenal program called CSPI. Good luck!
