Waiting for OCS vs Enlisting

Hey y'all.

I'm graduating in 2 months from a top public university with a 3.97 GPA (Finance) and have an incredibly strong desire to go OCS for Supply Corps. However, I heard Supply Corps may be full for FY26... I have heard about I-Sel and I have yet to take the OAR.

Would it be goofy to enlist E-3 as an LS if I do not want to wait the year or however long until I can get my OCS package in for Supply Corps? I am not looking at much other rates because I am red-green color deficient so I do not qualify.

My other option is to go through Army OCS but I really am sold on everything Navy.

I appreciate all responses in advance, thank you for your time and advice.
