Advice on which ROTC to join for commissioning?

We Answered:

You are all over the place. You need to refine your options. I went through AFROTC and went to graduate school. After graduate school I received a direct commission into the Navy as a lt (jg) and served in the surface fleet as a line officer for 25+ years. Do not hang your hat on flying. It may never happen. Had I been qualified after AFROTC I would have opted for flight school and not gone to grad school until mid-career. I was an Air Force brat and loved it. The Marine Corps is a calling. Many of my friends spent careers in the military (including Naval Service.) I had four classmates in the same class a the Naval Academy. One went into the Marine Corps. His father and brother were both Marine Corps officers at the time of his commissioning. The Air Force has the largest inventory of aircraft as well as the longest obligation (10 years) for flight training. However, this should be no problem since you are looking at 25. In my mind the years between 15-25 are the best. You are mistaken about promotional opportunities. All services are about the same. The Marine Corps is slightly slower and many Marines retire at 20 as majors. Seldom do 20 year career officers retire below lieutenant-colonel or full commander in the other services. All promotions through 0-3 are the same. Promotion to 0-4 is between 11 and 13. In the Navy I was promoted to commander at 15+ which is good but not unheard of. I was promoted to captain at 20+ which is also on track but is not unusual. My career stalled and I retired at 25 years. I realized that I would never be promoted meaningfully again. I would have probably been promoted to rear-admiral (lower-half) somewhere between 28-30 and retired at 32. Bt that time there would have been officers four-years my junior that would out rank me by two promotions within a year. I was time to go. You'll know when to go. My advice to a flying type with career goals is to take AFROTC, steer clear of the Marine Corps Option in NROTC and if you have a lot of confidence in your ability (Get your private ticket on your own) go NROTC. However, don't be disappointed if you are not selected to go to Pensacola. Good luck. It is a great life, flying or not.
