prior enlisted
Prior enlisted is one thing, but a prior enlisted bat boy can make him or fuck everything up, our new pl is prior 1/75 and seems pretty squared away, he scores instant rapport with the men.

one more thing
To be a PL running the c2 on an objective is one thing, but blowing the door and leading your team in is what I think we all hope for, plus you don't have to be politically correct

I'm not in a position to offer you advice, but to lend you my two cents: You might regret not getting your option 40 - I think about it all the time - but you might also regret not going to college and becomming a great officer. The scholarship is the only way I could afford college too. Give more than 100% at everything you do and it should turn out just like you plan. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve it or you haven't earned it. My plan is starting to come together now and it's a great feeling.
ROTC Cadets do take some shit for being dumbasses, and we are, in the sense that we are unexperienced, but it's not a bad program. You get to do some cool shit. I just got back from a cadet orientation yesterday. Was rappelling with three guys that had their Ranger tabs. They were great men and funny as hell too. And our instructor is a Lt. Colonel who knows a whole lot. There is a wealth of information available to you, and it's one of those things where you get out of it what you put into it.
