Do you have to have a bachelor's degree to become an officer? Or, can you get away with an associate's degree?

Air Force expects a Bachelor's degree for commission, if you want to make rank above Major need a Master's degree.

I am an OCS Graduate. I am also a Graduate of both Army and USMC Command and General Staff College. I believe a Bachelors Degree is essential

True Sir and you don't have time to get your remaining units completed if you are in the USAR or the ARNG. Once you get commissioned its OBC/BOLC. I am a California Guard OCS Graduate. Now I am in the USAR. I did my Command and General Staff Officer Common Course with 2 weeks at Fort Dix, 8 weekends in a classroom over 8 months and then another 2 weeks active duty and working at UPS 50-60 hours a week did not make it any easier. Lot of reading, modules, papers to write on the weekends. I don't think I will take AOC but I am 54 and I will be happy retiring at age 59 or 60 as a LTC Godwilling. I have a below the zone look starting in January, 2017 but I am hoping for selection in 2018.

I will add that even IF the 90 credit/O3 option was available, I would wait until I finished my BA/BS. Why? If you're an Active Component O1 who just pinned you're going to be busy. Your supervisor is going to put you through the ringer with responsibilities. So much so that you'll find it difficult to handle your workload and complete your degree.
