Military apply to OTS?

[SconnieBoy]

I have a CTO in the military, would it be smart to apply to this OTS bid? Or wait for next Prior Experience? Getting out with next few months. Any insight helps, Thank you.

It certainly doesn’t hurt to apply. I applied to an OTS and a prior experience, got two TOLs (terminal and enroute) and got to choose. If you get picked up OTS I’d say the biggest pro is possibly getting the enroute option and starting at a level 10 or greater. The biggest con is having to pass the academy. That said if you have prior experience I don’t think the academy should be an issue.

No guarantee you’ll make it into either for actual selection so I would apply for sure.

Apply to every bid you qualify for, full stop.

It’s up to you if you want to take the risk of passing the academy
