Is it possible to utilize the green to gold program to earn a commission as a national guard officer?

I'm currently wrapping up the commissioning process myself so I can speak with confidence on this. If you want to commission into the guard you have 3 options. In terms of desirability I rate them: 1) ROTC Guaranteed Reserve Forces Duty (GRFD) contract, 2) OCS, 3) Green to Gold non-scholarship option.
It all really comes down to how long your contract is and how highly you value leaving active duty early. True, green to gold might get you out of your active duty commitment a year or two early but there are a few things you should consider. You need 60 credits hours minimum to even apply for that program, you are in a high optempo unit that may limit your potential to take classes, your AIT is worth no more than probably 15 experience credits, if you some how manage to earn more than 72 credit hours you will be forced to pay out of pocket for extra classes, leaving active duty early may affect your GI Bill eligibility, leaving early will almost definitely prevent you from earning prior enlisted pay, and most importantly you will be COMPLETELY INELIGIBLE for any ROTC scholarships or incentive bonuses. The amount of money you will leave on the table if you go green to gold will be staggering.
Message me and I'd be happy to walk you through the ins and outs of each program and what you can do to best prepare for each route.

You can definitely Commission in the guard oh, and there are several commissioning routes you could pursue in the guard. You can join the guard and do green to gold, or go to school and commission through OCS when you finish.
If you wanted to serve in the guard while going to school and then Commission on active duty, you can apply for green to gold non-scholarship option. That will give you the ability to join the simultaneous membership program with your National Guard unit.

I am currently working toward commissioning in the Guard myself. Reach out to your state officer recruiting office to get the packet of information. This packet will lay out all the work you need to be doing. I am working towards the state OCS process, so at the end of this coming summer I will have the required 90 credits to apply to the program and hopefully get selected to attend. Some things to think about: You will need to have at least 90 college credits to apply to OCS. You will be stacked against others applying, so make sure you are a PT stud and that your GPA is above all. You will have a deployment under your belt, so that will only help you along the way. Not that SSD1 will help you commission, but it should be done. It is critically important that you conduct your self, now, in a manner that would suggest good leadership. Be the guy your PG goes to to get stuff done, be that guy in the platoon that knows all the systems and goes to all the classes you can get. You military knowledge will help a lot. Best of luck PVT and be safe!
