Officer placement is weird (from my civilian perspective).

ROTS gets you in, then there’s OCS (I think?) for professionals? But you need to have something that’s relevant. Music won’t get you in, but engineering, some sciences, etc.

And some professions like M.D.s and J.D.s can get direct commissions.

It’s been a while since I had it explained so I probably messed a bunch of that up.
