My first post here in Air Warriors.
I have been searching and browsing the forum looking for answers for my situation. However, my situation is pretty specific.
1. Computer Science Bachelors with a 3.0 GPA with a certificate in Database Management. I attended University of Hawaii at Hilo. I was thinking of going back to school and retaking some classes to make my GPA competitive.
2. I'm 26 years. Actually going to be 27 in a few weeks.
3. The nearest Officer Recruitment is located on the mainland, I am in Hawaii.
Here is the kicker. I have 4 felonies due to theft back when I was 24. It was a dumb, stupid first time offense and did not serve any time. I am on probation and am expected to have the case expunged this upcoming year. I know that it will still show on my record, but it will show that the case was dismissed.
I was wondering, what you guys think of my situation? I want to be able to go OCS and make a career out of it.
Should I attempt to go OCS?
If I am not able to, what other options do you guys think I can do? Enlistment is something that I could also do, but with my degree, I was hoping to go the OCS route.
