Can I apply for the green 2 gold programs to receive a second graduate degree if I enlisted with a master's degree?

Contact one of these three gentlemen... they are very knowledgeable in Military related questions/issues.

Why wouldn't you just go to OCS? You would have to compete to get the scholarship. If I was on the board I would rather give the scholarship to someone that needed this and wouldn't have any other options. That is not saying you couldn't get the scholarship.

Green to gold is a program to help troops pursue a degree and ultimately a commission.

If you already have a Graduate degree you would fall outside the scope/intent of the program and if chosen would be taking a seat from someone who doesn’t have an undergrad let alone a grad degree.

If you want to commission you should drop a package for OCS. That’s the shortest route and most logical. If you want to apply for medical officer pipelines there are different paths to take to have those conversations.

Based on what I read on the website, I do not believe you would be able to apply. Or rather, I do not believe you would be accepted. For example:

G2G Active Duty Option: The Green to Gold Active Duty Option is a two-year program that provides eligible, Active Army enlisted Soldiers an opportunity to complete their first baccalaureate degree or first graduate degree and earn a commission as an Army Officer.

G2G Scholarship: The Green to Gold Scholarship Option provides eligible, Active Duty enlisted Soldiers an opportunity to complete their first baccalaureate degree or first graduate degree and earn a commission as an Army Officer.

Since you already have a Baccalaureate, a Graduate and a Masters, your best option would be OCS. Or, depending on what your degrees are in, Direct Commission. Find your nearest Officer Recruiter, or get in contact with an AMEDD Recruiter to see what your options are.
