if i'm you...i would happy serve as a man (enlistee) and not a
spec or officer.
no doubt infantryman or rifleman may put you off, but you just
listen to orders and have no responsibilities.
i'm completing my 7th ict this year ... all thru the years, the
men basically have nothing much to do. but sect commanders and
above have all the shit in the world to complete.
ya that's true, but you have much more authority and more
'power' as a commander. And you also get respect, though it's
sometimes for the rank only. Promotions are much easier, like
usually 2LT who are going to ORD will be promoted to LTA, whereas
CPL dont usually get to promote to CFC, unless you're highly
recognized by your superiors, etc.
