Hello everyone,

I'm currently a 42A and I've been in for two years and a few months. I'll be getting my promotable status within the next 3 months and about one and a half years from getting my bachelor's degree from Ashford University. I'm currently in a HRC with no S1 experience yet. However, I want to make a career out of the Army but I want to commission over in doing so. I understand programs such as Green to Gold, getting out and going ROTC, WOC, and OCS just wanted to see if there are any more options out there and if anyone could share their personal experiences with each option that they chose to take. Or just any general advice for me.


Thank you in advance!

Another option I like to advocate is the army Physician’s Assistant (PA) program. Similar to OCS but no degree required. It’s a Masters Degree producing program and you commission as a 1LT. Any MOS can apply but there are certain prerequisites you have to meet.

I think the better question is what are the pros and cons of different commissioning processes.
