Navy Question?

Question

Ok, thanks to all the people who responded to my last vague questions about my husband signing up for the Navy! I shared your answers with him, and he thanks you, but he now wants to ask you guys another question.

He's going to get his BA in Cinema at the U of Iowa, but he wants to know if he has to have a specific bachlor degree to attend OCS in Florida. Do they accept any bachlor degree?

Thanks you guys!

Answer 1

US NAVY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
"I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away 4 years
of my life to the UNITED STATES NAVY, because I want to hang out with
Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought
the
Air
Force was too "corporate," because I didn't want to actually live in
dirt
like the Army, and because I thought, "Hey, I like to swim...why not?"
I promise to wear clothes that went out of style in 1976 and to have
my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I
understand
that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor Man during summer, and for
Nazi
Waffen SS during the winter.I will strive to use a different language
than
the rest of the
English-speaking world, using words like "deck, bulkhead, cover, gee
dunk, scuttlebutt, scuttle and head," when I really mean "floor, wall,
hat, candy, water fountain, hole in wall and toilet." I will take
great
pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, rank, and insignia, and
everything else for that matter, are completely different from the
other
services
and make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will muster, whatever that
is,
at 0700 every morning unless I am
buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up around
0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup-handling skills to the point that I
can
stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon, and still not
spill
a
drop.
I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice
per fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am
required
to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal, whims of my
newfound
"colleagues." So Help Me Neptune!"

Answer 2

A Cinema degree will be of absolutely no use to the Navy. While TECHNICALLY, any 4 year degree is acceptable, the Navy is currently in a position to be extremely picky about who they take and what degrees they have. In order to be competetive, the Navy is looking for 3.5 or Better GPAs in Hard degrees like Mathmatics, Computer Science and Engineering. you also have to have demonstrated leadership roles and extracurricular activites.

However, that degree will net him E3 upon enlistment and he could work his way to OCS via the inside if he so chose. Additionaly, there are other paths to Commissioning. LDO(Limited Duty Officers) generally stay within the community they were in while enlisted, as do Warrant Officers. The requirements for each are similar, but the path is slightly different as to what kind of career you will have and when you are eligible to apply. Suggest your husband check out www.military.com to get more information and advice from people who have Commissioned via OCS or from within.
