Best Answer

It's based on how you entered the service. The requirements to become an Officer are higher. Some enlisted men are made officers, usually after finishing their college degree. Today's military has many enlisted men with college degrees, some with advanced degrees. During WWII, some officers had only High School diplomas. I worked for one.
