Hello all,

I’m separating from the Navy this year and plan to commission as an officer in another branch. I recently discovered the 31D CID SA position. I will have my bachelors in Criminal Justice in October of this year and would really like to put a package in for this.

What are peoples experience with this process? Do I attend OCS? How competitive is this pipeline? Will I have to go to BCT since I was 6 years enlisted in the navy? Any and all information is helpful.

Also, when should I begin reaching out to recruiters and putting together a package?

Thank you.

Hello all,

I am a 6 year navy sailor with 4 years active 2 reserve. I am planning to commission with a bachelors in Criminal Justice yet I’m really struggling on what branch to commission in as a reserve officer. I have no attachment to any specific branch, I just enjoy mentoring junior personnel. My goal is intel but I’d be willing to go anywhere I can to commission. My civilian career is much more important to me.

What branch offers the best opportunities for growth and has a pretty good pipeline to commission? I have started packages with the Marine Reserves and Coast guard reserves so far but I’m curious if anyone has experience or recommendations.

Thanks.
