You could go to OCS hoping to be an HR officer at your unit and end up a Cav Scout PL 4 hours away. Officers don’t have most of those luxuries. You can move units or take statewide vacancies to pick up rank, you can decline movement to other units unless you’re excess, etc. Enlisted usually can guide their time in the military how they want. The OCS route depends on how much control you want over your career. In one way or another, most official documentation will pass by your section.
