Prior Marine going Army, I think I have more questions for you than answers, but as current 14A and prior 14G I can offer some insight. ADA is the fastest growing branch in the Army and is forward deployed in many places. You will spend a lot of time at FT Sill and will probably see Korea, Germany, Middle East, and other undisclosed locations around the world. Im partial to SHORAD which is more strategic but Patriot and THAAD are great options too. There are Avenger Master Gunner courses and Space if you decide to stick with the branch longer term. A high GT score and Sec clearance is req. for an ADA MOS.

I am definitely interested in OCS. They were telling me I’d have to wait another 60 days or so to do that and I don’t really have that time as I am ready. After serving a couple of years I will surely drop a package. 14G is my go to from the series for sure.

I agree with the Chief. 60 days is a small price for the opportunity at a career as an Officer.

I am going to call the recruiter and confirm the next board date so that I won’t be sitting around waiting too long.

Just got told something different now. Looking like I’m going active duty for now. I still hope to commission or go WO in the future.
“It will be no less than 4 months. But more than likely 6 If you include shipping.
Packet 2 to 3 weeks.
Wait for board. Not until April
Usarec QC.
Ship. 2 months. ”

The answer depends on your personal prowess. If you like the field I would go with 11 or 12 or 19, if they have 13B that to would be an option. All of these have great carreer advancement potential
As well. Anyway, I would review them all in detail by grade up to E7 and that should help you to decide. This is truly a personal decision. Welcome to the Army. Thank you for your service.
