I'm an incoming freshman this fall and I've been talking with both an elisted recruiter and a officer selection officer. My end goal is to become an officer but I'm curious if enlisting in the reserves while in college will benefit me in any way whether it be in the PLC selection process or just the experience. The enlisted recruiter is telling me that going through the reserves then applying for PLC is a more beneficial route when it comes to being selected opposed the officer selection officer who recommends against it. I found a post discussing the exact same predicament but it was from a few years ago and I'm curious if some aspects would have changed since then.
