I am going in enlisted into the navy, I will be taking the rate of AC. I have about 2 years left to my ba from CUNY. I did two years at the school and am finishing the other two years by correspondence/online, My recruiter said that I go in as enlisted, when I get my BA I apply to OCS and that it is easier than someone with no military background to get in. He also said it won't matter if I transfer to an online school like Thomas Edison State College. I have less than a year to finish up my BA there because of my military training.
My first grades at school were very bad but so far i have gotten nothing below an A. I hope to finish with streight A's. She said that i should go for the online degree to apply to be an officer as soon as possible and that it will make no difference.
Has anyone gone this route, enlisted then officer, but not spent a long time enlisted? I would like to spend like 4 years enlisted or so then go to OCS if possible while i just settle things down.
oh, financially there is no way i can finish my degree, and my dad is very sick so my parents might be needing to move into a smaller home etc. etc.
sometimes finishing the degree isn't an option
