∙ 14y agoYou must at the least hold a Bachelors Degree from a creditable college or university to be an Officer in the Military. To qualify to be an Officer in the Military you must have at the minimum a GT score of 110 or higher on the ASVAB, no Major law violations (ie. Possessions Charges, DUI) and depending on the Branch be under 29 years old (which is waiverable). An option to consider would be to enlist in to the Army Reserves and then apply for a ROTC scholarship, this scholarship and the Army reserves will pay for you degree and at the completion of your degree you will sign a commitment to either the Active Duty Army or Army Reserves for a period of 5 years as an Officer. You can view these options at www.goarmy.com, visit a local US Army recruiting stations or major college or university that offers ROTC and determine your eligibility.

No one joins as an officer except doctors and lawyers. Everyone else BECOMES an officer after qualifying on active duty (even ROTC and mil academy cadets).
