I found this web site and I think this could be a huge asset for me. I am a recent college graduate and have always had aspirations of joining the military. I went to marine corps ocs last summer and ended up with a horrible infection which was grounds for separation. I don't want to go through another situation like that and end being sent home. I decided to enlist into the Navy because I received the job that I wanted and a nice package regarding my student loans/bonus. I also have been doing research regarding becoming an officer and have come to the realization that service members can apply to ocs immediately after basic training. So I figure why not enlist and then apply to OCS and then when I go to ocs I will be even more prepared due to my experience in the service. My recruiter also keeps bringing up the STA program and says that If I get accepted to the STA program that I won't have to go to OCS and I would have to just go to a 4 week program that would just educate me on how to be an officer.
