i want to start my navy career asap, so im going in enlisted first as e3, and simultaneously put in my OCS pachage. I want to go in enlisted as MA, but when i get commisioned i want to go in Supply or Human Resources---a completely different area/job/. Will this matter or do I HAVE to go in enlisted as what ill eventually be doing on the officer side? thanks!

Ummm. . . . you have to have a 4 year degree to go in as an officer. You would not be able to drop an OCS package right when you enlist either. It will be a minimum of 2-3 years before you'll even be able to think about an OCS package.

It doesn't matter. One of the gals I worked with was enlisted as a Disbursing Clerk(money managing) but she was selected for training to become an officer in Nursing. Oh, and she had been enlisted in the Navy for 4 years at that point and was an E-5. There is a selection process that goes along with going from enlisted to officer, you could very well be passed up for commissioning and serve as enlisted your entire time.

Junior Navy officers can't just go into supply or human resources, you only really get to choose special warfare, aviation, SWO, or subs... All the lat transfers happen later. So the short answer is no, what you'll be doing enlisted is definitely not what you'll be doing on the officer side. That said, if you enlist there's a tiny tiny chance you'll ever become an officer (you and everyone else wants to switch over, huge competition)
