It wouldn't happen straight off. If they enlisted with a degree, were assigned to a unit, then sent to OCS, they'd certainly not return to that unit. If they did a four year contract while enlisted, then went to university for four years, and obtained a commission, then it could be possible.

Yes, it is possible for an enlisted soldier to become a commissioned officer. This can be achieved through various paths, such as attending Officer Candidate School (OCS), completing a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program, or transferring from enlisted to officer through specific programs like Army Green to Gold or Air Force Officer Training School (OTS). The process typically involves meeting certain requirements, completing a commissioning program, and successfully completing officer training.

Can you become an officer when you are an enlisted?
There are four ways to become an officer while serving enlisted. 1. Battlefield commission. President Reagan's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General John Vessey, received a direct commission at the battle of Anzio in WWII. 2. Direct commission. Enlisted members who already hold at least a bachelor's degree in a skill that is deemed useful to the military can apply for a direct commission in that field. 3. OCS. Enlisted members who already have a degree can also compete for an invitation to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS), ending with a commission. 4. ROTC Green-to-Gold program. Enlisted members can apply through the chain of command for a "Green to Gold Active Duty Option." Those who win these appointments remain on active duty while attending a college ROTC program. Upon graduation, they return to regular duty as a second lieutenant with a college degree as well. Your pay and benefits continue, but you have to use GI Bill or other sources for the cost of tuition and books. Good luck!
