I am currently applying for the Army Green-to-Gold Program (Active Duty Option). Does anyone have any advice to help me get selected?

Being competitive comes from filling out the paperwork correctly and having as much college as you possibly can, much like a warrant officer packet. I am not 100% sure, but letter of recommendations are usually required and some require a board. I can speak to the warrant officer packet process, the higher the APFT, the manner of performance to date (NCOERS), the college accrued, and the DA Photo are huge indicators of success. I am sure a G2G person will help fill in the cracks I have left unattended and speak from a personal point of view or knowledge..

even a low GPA can be overcome. I brought down the class average in graduate school... but I was selected.

Best of luck to you, brother. We need more prior enlisted officers.

I'm pending selection board results right now myself and my packet is completed and has already been QC'd. There a lot of moving pieces. Too many to detail out here in the comments, however, it is all fresh in my head. PM me and we can arrange to speak and I'll answer your questions.

I was selected for the Active Duty option this past year and am in my first semester in the program. We can get together and I can go over your packet and give you helpful advice if you'd like. Private message me and we can exchange emails.

Try to maintain a 3.2 to 3.5 GPA get those letters of recommendation I know several guys who are in ROTC who came from green to gold had good grades good luck on the submission board make sure you went to college when you were enlisted looks good as well.
