Love that you are a young Officer and doing it right with your enlisted personnel. Treat them like equals but guide them when you need to. That is how you build respect. Treat them well in garrison and they will cover your ass in battle. Hooah LT.

It depends, If you are going the enlisted route you get to choose your job if you meet all the requirements. If you are going the Officer route then you aren't guaranteed the job, you have to compete for it.

Can you explain army ranks? Do enlisted move on to warrant officer ranks? Do they progress to officer ranks?

@DavionWest

Enlisted will stay enlisted unless they decide they want to switch over to the officer side. For warrant officer enlisted and can put in a packet to attend warrant officer school. For the Officer side, enlisted can choose to go green to gold “ a program where you’re in college and still getting active duty pay depending on what route you take.” Or you can finish your enlisted contract and attend college and enroll in the Rerseve Officer Training Corps. ROTC and commission once you graduate from college.
