Ranking Up To Officer Instead Of Direct Entry As An Officer?

Thanks, Erik 

You're welcome, and good luck. 

maybe not ever because its more desk then field work and field work is what I am interested in.

I never had an office job, but there's something to be said for clean, inside work with a thermostat on the wall and no heavy lifting.  ;D

I've been a trained officer for 7 years now, it is not all desk jobs. If you join the army and combat arms, regardless of officer or NCM, you will not just ride a desk. Of course in garrison, officers are more likely to work behind a desk, but the NCMs are not in the field at that time, they are likely on an "unfortunate" crappy task somewhere because brigades tell us we must fill. I've been posted 3 times and whenever there were exercises the NCMs and the Officers were in the field. So just don't believe everything you hear about officers only working behind a desk.
