Huh. I'm just a civilian but it seems to me like it might be a bad idea.

Direct commissions are a thing for other jobs, like Doctors, Lawyers and such. I don't think any of them commission at Colonel which seems crazy as hell to me.

went to a portajohn in iraq once with really elaborate depections on how you could gently caress you poncho liner and I'm 100% convinced it was my 1SG at the time who did it. He owned and had burnt in on a jump and ended up being 1SG for our BDE HHC company and didn't give a fuuuuuuck

I can't speak for public affairs. One of the women I was contracting with was dead set on being a public affairs officer. I'm not sure how much that segways into a good civilian career.

The benefits with going air contract is that you're guaranteed a flight position. If you sign as a ground contract *which you would if you wanted to go public affairs/most anything else* and you are a lovely officer at TBS *advanced school for marine officers* you could be relegated to the needs of the corps and get your bottom choices..... That usually means something like logistics officer, which I'm sure has a decent pathway into the civilian world but i'm just speculating at this point.

Air=100% chance of going to pilot school, granted you don't get a DUI/murder a hooker during your weekends off in OCS or at TBS.

It might even be worth just looking on USAjobs.com for a civilian contractor job tbh, then at least you wont have to deal with as much poo poo and you can still escape the private side of things

USAjobs is gov't, not contractor. Good luck getting a contract position that pays without being a vet/having a clearance already.

sorry for the accidental word choice thank you for the correction ;) we were just talking about this too

Hey if you want job security and you're colorblind & pot bellied, you should become a cop. They don't even mind if you're easily frightened.
