Question
How are you doing today Sir ? I want to know do need to have any type of degree to apply for that program. I'm currently a CS2 in the Navy with 6 years in. I've been really considering this program but just needed more information about it.

Answer
It honestly depends on your chosen warrant branch. Usually, no.. you'll need just an associates degree and you can go through. Some very very technical fields do require degree or experience in the field prior to you being able to join.  Its difficult to advise you without more information.  Here is a link to the army website discussing the program. At the bottom is a link to a form where you can fill it out and a program advisor can discuss this with you and give you all the answers you need.

I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
