I've been reading the threads on and off for 6 months now and have learned a lot, but still not sure about my own situation.
I started college realizing I had probably made a big mistake not applying for NROTC. I'm currently an exercise science (switching to athletic training) major. I'm looking more than anything to create a career out of the military. I like health sciences, but they're something I'd want to do in the civ sector, not something I would want to do in the Navy. What should I do?
-Apply for BDCP/OCS with an ex. sci./athletic training major? My officer recruiter said they're not looking for athletic training (though nationally, passing the yearly exam for certification is 42%) My chances are being accepted are slim, i imagine.
-Apply for HPSP? - either go on to a physician's assistant master's degree or med. school (grades and motivation pending...I just wanna serve). After HPSP, could I apply for a designator switch?
-Apply for NROTC and transfer. I just finished my freshmen year. It seems extreme (and I know it's more complicated than it sounds), but I'm really just looking for my best bet for commission.
Thank you, in advance, for any input.
