[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4209393, member: 3099"] I have a nephew that went to OCS. He went a longer and different path though. Graduated HS Got Associates degree at OSU-OKC Got Bachelors at OU Plan was to teach and coach in HS (and may end up doing that someday) Went to PD instead of teaching because better pay Joined National Guard (for more $$$) Went to OCS Graduated and commissioned. Promoted to Captain in around 2 years (maybe less) Just assumed command of his unit. This kid is an academic stud, he just excels in that system. It's funny because he aced the physical and testing on all the PDs he was wanting to get onto, but didn't get selected. He thinks he was failing the psych or polygraph which are really some sort of voodoo mojo like deal. He finally landed a job as a cop at a small town PD, worked that for a couple years, then applied to a much better department up your way and they snatched him up. He applied for SWAT there in under a year and made it. lol He had to go to Arizona for a tech school of some sort and then to Finland just recently and assumed his NG command as soon as he got back. He's now going to get his Masters on uncle Sugar's dime and some day still wants to teach, but with the trajectory this kid is on, it may be a college professor. He just seems to excel at all of it. He told my niece about his trip to Finland immediately after getting home from a month away in AZ and she asked him "can you suck, just once? One little time would be nice!" lol [/QUOTE]
