They just setting up a base to trick you to joining as enlisted.

cause then is there even a difference between you and any other enlisted who wants to switch to officer?

right

I figured she would try that on me.

I mean you can, the likelihood you get picked is low.

"anything below a 3.8 they're not even considering" I was like damn

She definitely said that.

(But those applications are extremely competitive)

But you can join enlisted and apply within a year to be an officer!

But nope.

Just assumed they would have all branches in lexington as well

The Marine corps officer station I went through was in Lexington

that's actually fucked tho ngl

That's still crazy there's no route in Kentucky for that

Predatory recruiting is disgusting and it fires me up.

I gotta spin down now lol

yeah I was friends with quite a few vets in school

Yeah it is.

was gonna say isn't it much more common for people with bachelors to be officers

I'll contact them tomorrow.

I spent all of 5 years getting a bachelors so it's definitely the route to take.

You could probably email or call that contact for the officer recruiter. Don't back down about being an officer.

They know what they are doing.

The enlisted recruiters are snakes

Got damn

Told me that if I enlist, after a year I'll be able to apply for officer training (while also saying that it's a better route) lol

Appreciate it for sure. I'll be taking my ass down to nashville & talking to them instead of local. I already knew she wasn't gonna be what I needed but I went in there asking for officer & she scrolled on her phone for a minute & said she couldn't find anything.

Want you to be able to have an informed choice.

The choice to join is yours, I don't care whether you choose. I for sure care as hell if they try to trick you into being enlisted. Which they will do.

There's the website if you want to check yourself

I was doing google searches but just expected there to be one locally until I found out today.
