[QUOTE="stangaholic280, post: 10572307, member: 102522"] So I'm trying to go Palace Chase and do ROTC to get my commission. I know there are many other ways to get a commission and I have researched them all, but they all have roadblocks for me, most being that I have a SRB (reenlistment bonus) and have to serve 50% of my time, which is 3 years, before I can apply to commission...and by then I'll be getting close to age limits for the things I want to do (pilot, MSC)...FML. So I'm working with the Reserve Liaison here at Sheppard and amazingly enough nobody wants me LOL! I scored a 92 on my ASVAB years ago. I've been in 5 years and am an E-5. I've reached my 7 skill level, I've won awards, I have great EPRs....overall a good troop. My career field is 4R0X1, which is Radiology Tech. I got told basically right off the bat that there were no jobs available in the reserves for 4R so I'm going to have to retrain. I decide to make the best of it and try to get a line job. I figured it would give me a good mix (medical/line) of experience for being an officer. I call up a slew of Seniors and Chiefs and talk to them about getting a job. When they ask my current job and I say medical...there is an uncomfortable silence and then they tell me that they aren't taking any noobies for training (crew cheifs, loadmasters, flight engineers, etc). :shrug: So basically the Liaison is trying to get me a bottom of the barrel job called Air Transportation. It's basically a 2 week tech school and my job will potentially be to load pallets/cargo on to the plane (not to be confused with the highly revered Loadmaster job). I know, I know....every job is important. Just seems like such a waste of my potential. :nonono: Granted my main reason for doing this is going to ROTC and coming back AD commissioned, so I guess it really doesn't matter, but still I'm not the type of person to just settle when I know I could contribute in so many ways. Just needed to get it off my chest! Thanks for listening. :beer: P.S. - I love enlisted (no cooler looking rank than Chief), but for me staying enlisted is just not an option. My wife went Civ -> Officer about 8 months ago and it's driving me nuts...I was highly interested before in a commission, but now I'm bound and determined for some bars. [/QUOTE]
