[QUOTE="zzzzzer, post: 355969, member: 2704"] That's a good point. For example, both of my uncles and my dad have degrees but are all enlisted. My dad's reason for going that route was he knew he wanted to go into Special Forces and as an officer (A) he could only be commissioned under a certain MOS b/c of his degree and (B) he wanted to be in the field and not behind a desk. Still, if you're doing 20, depending on how fast you're progressing through the enlisted ranks it may suit someone to get the commission if they have a shot at OTS. Money isn't the reason you serve but an O-3 has a better retirement deal than many NCO's. It was a prior-enlisted O-3 who brought that to my attention. I think those who get the most out of the military are those who go into the career field that suits them and those who take the career path that they like (enlisted vs. commissioned). Believe me, if Air Force EOD was a reality for me I'd be back in uniform tomorrow (but I'd bust my arse to get into OTS at some point down the line). [/QUOTE]
