I want to both enlist and commission as an officer? What’s the best path from here
So basically I’m not the smartest, and I don’t have a lot of money. I do desire a career in the military and can see myself using the skills to translate into a career in the civilian world, but I also desperately want to be an officer. I am a junior in high school with kinda bad grades (2.9 GPA), not enough to where I can get a scholarship to pay for school or go to a military college, and I do not want anything from my parents. I do feel like the discipline taught in the military would suit me at 18, then help me at 22–24 years old by allowing me to save money as a young adult. The GI Bill would also alleviate any financial problems college tuition might bring.
At the same time, I want to serve at least 4–8 years as an officer in the military, so what’s the best path, considering my situation, to achieve both goals?
