It would be very rare for an inservice changeover to elect to go to ADFA because fuck that. Generally they'd utilize DASS and study while working or they'd apply for undergrad if they wanted to enter a degree required office career. If they just wanted to go over officer side without a degree they can do the RMC, OTS, RANC DEO course like the other off the streeters.

Enlisted before commissioning.

Pro's:

• Know the service
• no service culture shock
• less basics to learn
• 4 year possibly more long to impress the civvies at grad

Cons

• back to the bottom / no RPL
• higher expected standards at the start
• 'x' years of career progression / seniority now count for nothing
• different expectations / officer culture shock.

I've known great junior enlisted changeovers and great senior sailor / WO changeovers. I've met shithouse changeovers that did it because they couldn't progress in their enlisted career and changeovers that have reverted back to enlisted.

End of the day it's your career and you should do the job you want to do. A career enlisted is no less honourable or respectable than a career on the O side.
