I’m in AFROTC right now and having a hard time deciding between STO and Pilot. I know they are in the process of combining career fields of STO and CRO into SWO (Special Warfare Officer) right now and was wondering if you have any insight into that new career field. I absolutely love the mission of STO but having doubts of being able to do a whole 20 year career in this afsc and being desked after 6-8 years (which I wouldn’t want). Whereas pilot I could fly for most to not all of my career and then have an easy switch to commercial if need be. I guess what I’m asking is what are your thoughts on this and what would you have done if you went the officer route instead of enlisted?
