I am just going to be honest with you guys. I did 3 years in the army as enlisted and also did one tour in Iraq. I got out as an E-4. While in the army, i shamed out of pt sometimes ( probably 1 to 3 times during the 3 years ), and also got corrected on uniform and hair cut a few times ( which was usual for junior enlisted ). However i never have an article 15 or got myself into "extreme" trouble beside the uniform and hair cut matters as saying above. I never got into any arguments with my NCO or complained about tasks which were given by them. Most of the time i stayed out of their sights unless i was called by them. I got out because i figured that enlisted worked long hours but didn't get pay much ( really, an E-8 who is in for 20 years and he makes almost as same as an O-3 who is in service for 4 years ). Another reason was that i hate doing "gay" details such as cleaning up bathroom and the higher up office once in a while. I am in college for about 2 years now and thinking of coming back to the army as an officer through ROTC. Most reason because of the money ( not all people who are in the army because they want to serve the country) and i like to work in office ( paper works pushing ). I don't care to work long hours as long as i get good pay ( unlike enlisted ). How is officer daily life different from enlisted ? and what do officers do everyday ? ( i didn't know what my LT daily was like because i usually didn't get to see him much unless at begin or end of the day formation ) Am i a bad enlisted ? if so, i guess i shouldn't come back then ? Please provide me with polite answers and since i am writing this question from my phone so please excuse some " error ". Thank You So Much For Your Time : )
Note : i don't plan to stay in for too long either. Probably 3 to 6 years to get experiences on my degree to get a job later. I know that we don't always get to do our job in the army, so i am just hoping for the best.
