QA and ELT are not related, they are totally different functions.

I'm most likely going to go the enlisted route, I was just trying to get a bit more information before I decided on whether or not to bother with the officer package. If I get selected for ELT, I think I'd be interested in a QA job. If I don't, I really have no clue what I'd do with the MM experience. Also, I've got an AAS in MET already. Would it be a wise idea to continue toward a BS in ME, NE, or both (With MM or ELT experience)?
Also, I don't think the thread has gotten too off topic. All of the information I've read has been helpful.

Shipmate,
As I was reading this thread, I was thinking of how I may be able to convince you an Officer Program is right for you. Then I came across your last entry. You answered your own question here. As long as you consider applying for the program as “A BOTHER”, you need not pursue it. Remain enlisted, get some experience (AT SEA), then reevaluate. Your career decisions need to be based on far more than the difficulty of the application process.

Wow, talk about unnecessary. Once again Mike is trying prove how much more of a man he is than the rest of us.
Mike your comments are becoming less entertaining with each successive post. Speaking for myself, I'd like to ask you to just not post at all unless you have something constructive to say. Thank you.

I found the lads tone to be patronizing. Prior to ASSUMING ELT was analogous to QA he should have asked his compadres and staff instructors what QA is. It's what I would have done and what I would expect of anyone.
Had he posted the following: What is the difference between verifying water chemistry and Quality Assurance I would have given the non qual a nice answer.
When I see people posting on assumption then saying well I might not know this quite yet, then I get a bit miffed because if you weren't sure you knew it then why did you open your big mouth.
Speak from knowledge, not assumption.
