I think I'm going to go through with it, if I can make the schedules match. Basically, I'd join up with the Army National Guard now in Armor, if I can get it (I'm 6'3", max height is supposed to be 6'1", even though one guy is almost 6" over that).

I'd try to get basic training as early as possible. OCS should be available to me right away, although the recruiting guy recommends an enlisted AIT (cavalry scout) before starting it. In either case, it would be important to get all the training done before year's end, if I can swing it.

Next spring and summer, I'd take a full load of classes and hope I don't get deployed overseas during those months. If not, I'll finally get my diploma.

Then, I have the option of continuing in the Army National Guard for another 5 years or getting a conditional discharge to go to active army (which might require OCS again.... ugh).

I still need questions answered before signing on the dotted line. I also need to talk to my school guidance counselor and my parents first.
