Default Re: Opinions needed on enlisting after college

A very good friend of mine did this out of undergrad. It sounds very similar to you in that he turned down multiple offers to whatever the officer track is and demanded to be put into infantry, and served 4 years in the 101st. Tried out for SF and all that.

Anyway, he did nothing for about a year out of the Army, worked briefly at a defense contractor consulting shop, and is now in the Foreign Service. By his own admission he ended up prepared for nothing except blowing up bridges and following orders.
