Women of the Military

Becoming an Officer in the U.S. Military

Episode Summary

How do you become an officer in the military? This week I'm diving into the typical ways people become officers. That being said there are a lot of specialized programs and make sure to talk to a recruiter to find the best option for you. I also included an interview with a cadet going through ROTC and a new 2d Lt who completed Army Officer training. You can also check out episode 151 with two cadets at West Point sharing their experiences.
