Great Job on the video Sir ! I enlisted in the Marine Corps Infantry in 2011 and then switched branches becoming a Supply Sergeant in the Army in 2020. After working for one year at Fort Rucker I applied for the Green to Gold program and was accepted. I’m now studying full time at Troy University and will commission/graduate in May 2024. I’m thankful for this program because it allows me to earn my full income for attending school as my place of duty. I wouldn’t be able to do this in any other situation since I have a family to support and wouldn’t be able to study full time while serving on active duty. This program is a true blessing that more and more people are becoming familiar with. If anyone needs any information on how to apply please message me.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Supply sergeants are some of the most important SGTs in our military! When I heard about the program from peers that were doing it, I was like wow thats a great program and a kept secret for some service members serving on the enlisted side. I wish you and your family the best with your new career path.
I retired 15 years ago of serving 23 years and I noticed a big change in the last 10 years in the military with the standards on a big decline. Discipline being on top.
Yes indeed. This US Army Veteran's beloved Army no longer exists. Exactly what the sorry ass woke leadership of Taliban Joe and his lackeys, Austin, Brown etc desire. Don't forget Obama sin Laden's ramped up marginalizing of the Armed Forces in general. The bottom line theme of these YT vid clips: The US Armed Forces is finished. How happy those morons in D.C. must be.
I did 6 years active duty. I ETS'ed as a Sgt (E-5). I'm considering becoming an officer but I need to get my degree first. I work and have a child. What route would be best for me?
My first question is, are you a single parent? If so I would recommend ROTC. Since you already got out it wont be the green to gold program though. With ROTC you will only have the class twice a week and one lab a week.
@@DavionWest No I am married with a new born. I was thinking there could be a possible route if I reentered but in the reserves while I completed college. I cant stop working because of bills and mortgage.
So I know you can go through a state OCS if you join the army national guard. I believe you go to training one weekend out of the month. So I would speak to a national guard recruiter. (This is only once you have a degree). I would suggest the ROTC program route though. Since you have a wife it won’t be as hard as being a single parent.
I have my bachelor degree and want to enlist. So how long after I can apply or submit my ocs package. Also do I have to finish my current enlistment contract while applying for the ocs?
you are better off going for OCS now while you are still a civilian. G2G is for enlisted wanting to be an officer. speak to a recruiter that knows the process
If I am doing Computer Science and want to do G2G, do I get more time to complete my degree or it is the same 2 years as any other college degree? (I am asking this because CS has more colleges classes requirements than regular degrees). Also, does my degree give me more chances to get something related with my degree in the army; as for example getting "Cyber Security" or not? Thank you
Im not too sure if green to gold will give you more time. But I do know ROTC in general will. Yes, your degree will help your chances with getting a certain type of branch.
Here you go, I hope this helps. www.goarmy.com/info.html?iom=BEDB-22-NMTF_N_PSEA_71700000091265616_700000002151505_43700069701671199_58700007695217962_army+recruiter+live+chat&gclid=CjwKCAjwkaSaBhA4EiwALBgQaPXWHpJMvSRms1N3XlcwJnw3qFVn3lYEOTNscrXre5JOqifsk-PEFxoCGiQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
I already have a Bachelors degree, have done my 5 years in the Corps and am currently in the Marine reserves with an up to date security clearance. Is Green to Gold an option for me here?
@@DavionWest Yes. I'm looking at going back in, but active Army. I'm in the process of doing a DD Form 368 for transfer. If Green to Gold isn't an option, is it farfetched for me to try to go officer after switching into the Army?
@@michaelmendoza2838 You need to join the army and then go green to gold. I was an 0331 and received my DD368 conditional release from the Marines and then went to AIT for supply. Once I checked into my unit I began the green to gold packet .
I just got enlisted in the Army National Guard. I leave for basic training on April 12th. But here’s the question I want to ask. It’s a simple yes or no question. How many college credits and hours do I have to have in order to be a commissioned officer in the US Army, and can I become a officer in the US Army with an associates degree?
6 year Marine currently in, army recruiter is trying to talk me into going green to gold, I already have my bachelors degree. Can I still do green to gold without having to continue on to a masters program? Trying to find the best/fastest route to commissioning in the Army

There a few different programs for green to gold. I believe there is one to where if you can finish your degree in two years or less you will be active duty still and get the pay and all that sweet stuff.

@@DavionWest Thank you brother. I'm 31 and I'm currently trying to join the army. I have a bachelor's degree and wants to go OCS route. I took the asvab and was 1point short on the GT score line.

pope benson if it was me personally I would retake the test. The worst they can say is no for OCS if you don’t get selected. Because down the road you might beat yourself up for not retaking it. At the end of the day it’s all on you, but also I would talk to another recruiter or other army people too. If you are set on OCS don’t give up bro!
@@DavionWest Thank you very much LT WEST for your sincere advise. That is the part I have planned to go. I sent my recruiter a text for the last time today but he hasn't reply. Due to that I have made plans to find another one tomorrow going forward. Thank you very much once again. I will subscribe to you channel and hopefully i can be informed more on the officer side of the army as I have been doing on other channels of military personnel who are youtubers.

I wanna do green to gold
Eddie Hosey do it!! Talk to your leadership
I just got enlisted in the Army National Guard. I leave for basic training on April 12th. But here’s the question I want to ask. It’s a simple yes or no question. How many college credits and hours do I have to have in order to be a commissioned officer in the US Army, and can I become a officer in the US Army with an associates degree?
You need bachelor's degree to be an officer in the Army
Do you have to have at least an associates degree to apply for GREEN TO GOLD active duty option?
60 credits
I want ocs school just get online degree pennfoster or ashworth
Can you go to WestPoint while already enlisted?
I believe you can. I knew a dude from basic that did it but I’m not sure all the details/how to go about it
What’s the link for that facebook group?

6 year Marine currently in, army recruiter is trying to talk me into going green to gold, I already have my bachelors degree. Can I still do green to gold without having to continue on to a masters program? Trying to find the best/fastest route to commissioning in the Army
I would say do OCS if you do not want to get your masters.
Do you know any schools that accept application over 30 for active duty option. Preferably in Texas
I dont, but what schools have you been looking at?
I’m enlisted currently, if I wanted to go officer now, (I have my 4 year degree), how would I go about doing that

In that intro, are you wearing the new hot-weather cammies? They look cleannn
Yes I am, the whole uniform feels amazing. When summer comes back I be ready for the heat.
what if i already have a college degree?
You can work on your masters. Or if you want you can get out of the military and do ROTC then get back in
Davion West isn’t that gonna take 4 years? Is there a faster way, I’m a reserve, shipping Feb 25 and should be done with AIT around October
Ning Zhang masters typically takes two years, you could go through OCS “Officer candidate school”
Do you have to be a sergeant to apply for G2G?
I do not believe so.
so while im in the green to gold program am I still "Active duty"?
There a few different programs for green to gold. I believe there is one to where if you can finish your degree in two years or less you will be active duty still and get the pay and all that sweet stuff.
Do they have asvab wavier for the 110 gt score?

If i enlist as 68W then do active duty green to gold will i still be able to keep doing 68W even though its only for enlisted
No.
