Finishing Degree for OCS

Many other factors will determine your eligibility. Which branch of the Guard? Air or Army? What field are you trying to get into? How much do you weigh? Any medical issues? Do you have credit or criminal history issues?

If you are shooting for the Army guard you should have an easy time as they are constantly recruiting and always seem to be hurting for people. The Air Guard is harder to get into since the Air Force takes much better care of their people.

Take a look at the Coast Guard they have a much better organization than most people realize. In fact if you go active duty you can apply to be an officer with only an AA after just a couple of years.

Just to build on this as I am active duty Coast Guard we are shedding people currently and the odds of getting in when we are hiring is something like 8% and will be even lower now. Anyway, if active duty with 4+ years in and E-5 or above you only need 30 credits to be eligible for commissioning. If you are active duty but haven't been in for 4+ years and E-5+ you have to have a BA/BS.
