Could I get a waiver for OCS or Warrant Officer packet?

When I entered the Army I had 92 GT Score, this because I did not know much English when you listed. I have taken BSEP twice and both times I have taken 108. I am interested in going to OCS or Warrant Officer. I have a Master's degree, and I would not like to remain enlisted. Someone could help me with more information.

GT score is non-waiverable. You can check that on the Warrant recruiting website.

There is absolutely no GT waiver for commissioning. You'll have to study more math and English to raise your GT.

I tested at 114 1974 in High School and later just studied an ASVB ARCO book then later scored a 126 1984 for NG OCS with only 9th grade math and English... no College at the time. I at age 63 have 140 college credits but No Math or English to graduate.

PS I couldn't really do the math.. but it was multiple choice and I could figure it out ... I also used Latin and Greek to figure out vocabulary. The study guide helped me. I met guys in the Army who scored 18 GT in the Army Guard in the 70's ..couldn't read or drive stick...

SPC Torres,

What is your component? Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard? If Active Duty, call a retention office and ask. If Reserves, do the same and call a Reserves recruiter and see if they can point in the right direction. If National Guard, call your State's Officer Strength Manager and see if they can help you. If all that fails, start digging into the regulations such as AR 350-51. You can find all the regulations at Army Publishing Directorate (https://armypubs.army.mil).

However, you aren't far from the required 110 GT score. Grab an ASVAB study guide, such as the one by Rod Powers available on Amazon, and hit the Education Center. That would probably be faster than obtaining a waiver, but you should always work all angles to reach your goal.

Good luck.

SPC Torres,

The improvement bis great but still falls short of the requirement. Remember the adage, "Hope is not a plan." Prepare by studying using the resources available through the Education Center and commercial literature.

Good luck.
