<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can connect with anyone you want, but I don&#39;t think that&#39;s what you desire.<br /><br />What specifically are you looking for? Advice from an Army Acquisition officer with a contracting area of concentration(FA51C)? Someone you can discuss the requirements and process of becoming one?<br /><br />In general, you would have two pathways to becoming an officer in the Army Acquisition Corp (AAC) - transfer at about 6-8 years after you become a commissioned officer or pursue a Direct Commission into the AAC.<br /><br />In either case, the road will probably be a long one, especially if you don&#39;t have a four-year degree already.<br /><br />If you transfer in, you&#39;ll have to be an existing commissioned officer and apply through the Voluntary Transfer Incentive Program (VTIP) or Talent Based Career Alignment (TBCA). That means you&#39;ll have to be commissioned first via OCS, ROTC, etc. and apply for a transfer approximately when you&#39;re a junior grade Captain.<br /><br />If you go the direct commision route, you&#39;ll must posses a four-year degree as well as a Masters or PhD in a STEM field in order to meet the educational requirements. You&#39;ll also have to have 8-10 years of operational experience after you have your four-year degree.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One of the 51C requirements is to have a Bachelor degree (in any field). To maintain the 51C MOS, you must earn a bachelor&#39;s degree within 36 months of becoming a 51C
