Hi everyone,
I have been accepted into OCS and though I had applied for Naval Intelligence, I was ultimately selected to be a Navy IP Officer. Since learning this, I have been reading up on everything I can to best prepare myself. My main question is, do Navy IP Officers have the option to sign a contract for four years of active duty? I have many important reasons for why I want to accept this challenge and become a Naval Officer, but my desire is to do four years of active duty and then transition to reserves. I know there are some programs (like aviation) that require active duty commitments of over four years, so I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if IP Officer is one of them.
As a side note, if anyone responding here is or was an IP Officer, I would love to hear about your experience (where you were stationed, duration, duties, post navy career, etc).
