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..

Sir, thank you for the response. I am working on getting a LOR from the hospital CO here at WBAMC to include company and bat COs. I have won Soldier of the year last year and this year I won NCO of the year and represented the hospital at region both times. I Received CL at BLC and am on most commanders cup team sports. I will receive my first NCOER in Feb but I'm sitting in an E6 slot as the NCOIC of a clinic. I have my MOVSM, Air assault, and EFMB. I'm hoping all of these things will help the fact that I would require a waiver due to my 2.4 GPA.

I applied three times for WOCS. I had actually quit and then I ran into a WO who fired me up to resubmit again. Your statistics remind me of myself when I was 29 and applied the third time. It worked out eventually, so don't give up and keep working at it. You will succeed..

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.

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.

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

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.

CPT (Join to see) - have not tried calling yet, just emailed the lady and also the people at the ROTC I will be attending. I bugged them a lot during the packet process so I was trying to not keep bothering them. Yeah I may try to call them If i don't hear anything by monday. Did you end up getting accepted?
