@Aussiemom - I think you misunderstood my post. In the Army person can go to OCS with a college degree, BUT they can ALSO just enlist and go into the Army as an E-4 (NCO) with a college degree.
And @moooop I completely agree (and I think is what I said) that most NCOs are not going to try to then go to OCS even if they could. I must have missed the part in the article that said he wanted to be a warrant officer. That being the case, he would certainly not be interested in going to OCS and retraining in another field (as someone suggested he could). Makes that whole conversation moot.
