Ok, I get a call from my recruiter today and because of the war and the fact that money is super, super tight, people going throug OCS can no longer be designated SWO-EDO (all 4 or 5 of us for this year). I am very frustrated, but I understand that nothing is ever guarenteed, so I'm trying to make the best decision from the options I have now. I have to be redesignated and have to decide very, very quickly (as in a few days) what I want to do. I can go straight SWO, with no guarentee that I will ever be picked up for EDO. I really enjoy engineering, working in the engine room, and the EDO community as a whole (it's small, close knit, etc.). Honestly, I do not beleive that I would enjoy a career (at this point, I plan on staying in for at least 20 years) as a straight SWO, but then again, I don't know how difficult it is to get to engineering from SWO after you do all of your basic stuff (your differnt tours, your pin, SWO school, etc.) With SWO-EDO, I would do my first DIVO tour, SWOS, my complete DIVO tour, and then go on to my EDO school. My other two options are Intel or Crypto, which both seem interesting (the schools, the smaller communities, etc. all appeal to me) but, for obvious reasons, I haven't been able to find out much about them. I have been looking around alot on the internet and I would really appreciate any ideas/advice/input/etc. that anyone might have. Thanks!!!!!
