re: A question for all Ags...

There are only so many slots for officers. Most of those go to the sevice academies and SMCs. The ones that are left get fill with the path you are discribing. You may or may not have a slot. If you really want to be an officer, you have a better chance going through the sevice academies or SMCs.

A large portion of the people that attend SMCs that are wanting to join the military get their commision while still in college. There is also a lot of scholorships available to them.
