I still consider the Navy or the Air Force sometimes even though I just graduated with my B.S.

Actually, I have at least 9 years ahead of me (more if they allow it), and yes, I am possibly one of the oldest O-1's in the Navy. Although I am sure someone beats me out... I wonder... Is there a BEOTN (Bull Ensign of the Navy?) Sounds like a possible position to be filled... with a jumbo ensign's insignia.

I love being in the military, much more as an officer, the opportunities I have had were tremendous. My career is atypical, and the military certainly is not for everyone!

Good observations about the troops not wanting all officers to be prior-E, I hadn't thought of that. I'm kind of a goodie-goodie though (managed to rack up a few oak leaf clusters on my AAM in my short time and I'm also Battalion soldier-of-the-month currently) so I hadn't considered that.
