I am currently in sec 4 (QC) and am looking into options for my future, although I'm pretty sure the army is going to be part of it. However, I'm very split on what route I want to take on this front. I've always been very adamant on going to ROTP, however recently I learned that being an NCM is very different than being an officer.
See, I'm the kind of guy that wants to be out doing work and being hands-on with the job to get done, and the whole "officer desk job" gig doesn't really appeal to me. My dilemma is weather or not to go ROTP as an infantry officer with the military and strat study program, or to enlist normally, with paid education or anything. I would also like to know whether or not I would have the option to resign my commission and go NCM after completing ROTP, if I go that route.
Any help is appreciated.
