Hi,
A very good friend of mine has all but enlisted into the Indiana National Guard. Not sure where his recruiter is, but that guys' boss works out of Stout Field here in Indy.
He's being told that after basic he'll be a Specialist / E4 even though he has a college degree...but that it'll be at least a year before he could go to OCS (or whatever it's called?) to be a 2nd Lt.
My question/s for INGO...does this sound right?
I know I'm rather ignorant of the whole thing, but I've heard for years that a college degree is a rather "automatic" ticket into OCS, like almost immediately after basic training?
Can anyone shed any light on the subject?
I don't want my buddy to get hosed.
