Going officer is a whole different ball game. They are going to look into everything in your background and I mean everything and you can have no slip ups. I don't know exactly how the Air Force works in terms of officers but in the Army there are only a few ways to become an officer. Military Academy(West Point), Military Senior College(Citadel, VMI, Texas AM, Virginia Tech) 5 designated Military Junior Colleges who have commissioning programs, Army ROTC at a 4 year college, or Officer Candidate School. For OCS you are chosen through the enlisted ranks after you reach E5(SGT)) or above and you must be damn near perfect to be chosen. No matter what way you go now, becoming an office is very very competitive now. When I say they look at everything, I mean everything. Moving violations, credit, criminal history, medical history, where you born, etc.
I almost hopped on an opportunity to become an officer by way of attending West Point Prep in Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey. After a certain time frame you would then take the entrance exam into West Point. One of our company LT's went that route. I opted to just finish out my enlistment at that time.
My other opportunity came when I graduated Marshall with my BS. I had to do a year long post-graduate internship during which I couldn't work. I looked into joining US Army Healthcare Reserves. In this section of the Reserves, I was going to be an EVO (Environmental Science Officer). You do a 3 year commitment to Army Reserve - Healthcare. You only have to attend an officer training school for 2 weeks and even that only has to happen by year 2 of your commitment! I ended up not going that route either, but it was definitely tempting.
