I guess you like the idea of constantly deploying!! you will make a good chunk of cash free money!!! Officer is the way to go in the military, bc if yur gunna be in, better get paid the best!!! make sure yu get a flying job, flight crews make the best extra pay

Go O. You put in the time and money to get a degree and you ought to be paid commensurately.
Although you mentioned that you were/are pretty fit and will return to your previous level of physical activity, a reconstructed knee will always present a liability to the military. How it will affect you is uncertain until you take a physical, if you're allowed to go that far. I don't know about Os, but when enlisted get their initial entry physical, we are given a PUHLES (physical, hearing, eyesight, etc) score, with straight 1s being the most favorable rating. Check out what jobs are available and see what the PUHLES (if that rating system is used for officers) score minimum is. The score you may personally be worried about is the "L", for "lower extremities". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PULHES_Factor)

Not every senior enlisted is respected either it really depends on you, ive met some outstanding officers and some shitbag enlisted NCOs and vise-versa . Just do your best and remember some pvts know more than you.

Apparently I wouldn't last in the Army because I give users infractions for breaking rules.
I'll let you know when I can run again.

yea good point.. I'm not sure about how Army Officers PT but the Marine Officer idiots can't get enough of running lol.. that's literally all they do is run run run run run.. I think it is instilled into them during OCS or something I have no idea.. but running sucks
