Is an officers training for the military similar to the basic training enlisted go throw? What do officer do in training how is it I’m thinking of becoming an officer. My other question is what is the difference between regular officer training and some one who is going to be a lawyer or a Chaplin in the military how dose their training differ? The only reason i ask is cause on the air force website the training for officer sounds different the the training to be a lawyer which is still an officer.

Hopefully, they will offer you writing, spelling and grammar.
Officer training is actually tougher, especially psychologically, than basic training is for enlisted men.
For Army, unless you are ROTC, an Academy or certain professional jobs you will go through regular basic training. Not sure about the other branches.
You have three ways to become an officer in the military: ROTC through your college, going to one of the military schools (West Point e.g.) or getting your college degree first and then applying to OCS (Officer Candidate School.)
If you go the OCS route, you still have to go through regular basic training in the army, then you go to OCS, which is a more advanced kind of basic for officers.
If you are going to be a lawyer, you have two options: You can be a currently practicing lawyer and go in that way, or you can become an officer in one of the other ways and then apply for law school training.
As a chaplain, you don’t do anything that other people do, because you’re not really a “soldier” per se. You are ministering to soldiers. And as your job is a spiritual one, you don’t even carry a weapon. Chaplains have their own recruiters, and I’m pretty sure that the requirements are like this: you must have a seminary type degree in your religion, equivalent to a master’s degree. You must be ordained and I believe state certified. You will go through a chaplain’s basic course, which is not as intense as other basic trainings.
In all cases, you must have a college degree or agree to go to college on the military’s watch with the promise of future service.
Hope this helped!
