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!
