Hello all,
I've read through multiple forums and haven't been able to find the exact answers i'm looking for. First off, i'm considering entering the military as an officer (a female officer at that). I'm particularly drawn to the infantry, so an infantry officer is looking like my best bet. Has anyone ever had/encountered a female infantry officer? I'm worried about how a group of mostly males would feel about being led by a woman. I know I could do it, i'm just curious to know the thoughts/feelings surrounding the idea.
ALSO, I'm also considering the NCM route first. I've talked to a few officers who said they wished they went NCM first because you form better relationships. As an officer, you can't really 'hang out' with your NCM's that you're managing. The military has an allure to me because of the strong bonds and friendships that are garnered. So from that aspect, the NCM route seems more appealing. Does anyone have any words of advice or thoughts on this?
I apologize if there's a similar thread out there.
Thanks everyone!
