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.

I used to have a CMC that used to tell our best Sailors to get into the "Seaman to Master Chief" program. I liked that. I never wanted my best Sailors to be officers.
I successfully resisted the temptation to put in a LDO package. I only had to look at how "beat down" our LDO's were in department.

Here this is for you. Oh, and here is a secret... not everyone wants to be you.

Can everyone stop already with the rudeness and lack of civility? How about treating each other with a certain minimum level of respect? If you have something condescending to say to someone, do it via PM not in the thread.
Where's a Moderator when you need one?

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.

hope you realize EVERYONE ON THE SHIP has to qualify QA right? Not to mention you arent gaurenteed squat. It sounds to me like you need to have a long chit chat with your LCPO about your job, because you obviously have no clue. That said, worrying about QA and ELT is pointless. Focus on becoming an MM to begin with.

Shouldn't you be studying something? Leave the kid alone. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
