Hey folks,
I have a Bachelors in Political Science from a good school. My GPA was 3.0. I understand that sometimes people in my position (interested in the Reserves) with degrees are steered toward the DCO program. It is also my understanding that this program is highly selective, and that without stellar civilian experience, prior service, super-duper GPA, or a STEM degree, my odds are less-than-desirable. Also, that it might take me 18 months, to get rejected. I just want to serve where I can be of use. I have been thinking of getting in touch with an Enlisted recruiter, but before I do, I'm looking for some guidance. I know PoliSci might mean Public Affairs/Intelligence as an Officer, but for enlisted what rates would someone with my credentials typically pursue? Other info on typical commitment, what I should know or be thinking about before meeting with a recruiter? All is appreciated.
My stats:
24 years old.
BA Political Science, 3.0 GPA
Also, I am likely to pursue a Masters in Public Policy in the next 5 years.
NYC, if that matters.
Anything missing?
Thank you.
