I have always heard that you learn a ton about your craft doing a CTC as an OC/T, but what other broadening assignments out there are worth pursuing?

Give MCTP a call, they are always looking for OCTs and you get to travel the world.

Definitely CTCs. I would recommend fully funded graduate school, USMA staff and faculty, TAC Officer (which is what I did; one of my favorite jobs ever), and ROTC APMS.

I think it's a tough call between becoming an OC/T (to gain more branch specific expertise) or voyaging into unfamiliar territory. I appreciate the strategic-level knowledge I've gained on the Joint Staff. It may be misleading to lump those two distinct areas together under "broadening."
