Best branch for tech experience?
Hey everyone,
I've been looking into OCS/OTS to various different branches in the past couple of months. I am 23M with a bachelors degrees in Information Technology and Supply Chain Management. I graduate in a month with the IT degree with a 3.2 GPA. My most recent work experience mainly revolves around Amazon warehouse management and I am looking to pivot to tech. I am intrigued by the idea of military service for the tuition assistance (I hope to do a masters degree one day) but especially the possibility of getting some level of security clearance, particularly TS/SCI so I can apply it to the civilian market job search at the end of my tenure.
At first the Coast Guard was of interest to me as I have always seen their operations in my city and have wanted to join all throughout high school. However, it seems like tech roles are more limited and the OCS program is highly selective. This leads to Navy being my close second choice, as it seems that there are many opportunities for tech/engineer types. Does anyone have any advice for approaching the Navy OCS process? Also if anyone knows what the process of attaining a level of security clearance is like I would also like to know.
Thank you all
