What would be the process of commissioning in the Army if I EAS from the Marine Corps at 9 years and 9 months as an E-5?

Actually, one guy at USAF OTS was actually a CMSgt, going for O-1, which I actually found pretty amazing that he was doing it, I think he'd been in for some period as a real fast burner, that let him make CMSgt below the zone, as I recall, when he was attending in my first class, I finished with the class after that one....

Yeah, I'd been told that, you might've seen I'd mentioned MSgt in my unit had been an O3 RIFd going for O-4, he opted to finish his 20 as enlisted to retire as O-3, he was given SSgt to start,....

Don't have an answer to your question but, I wanted to let you know that, The best XO I had in the 82nd ABN 2/505th Inf. 1974, was a former Marine who change over to the Army.
When asked why he change services, he quoted, "I just wanted to Jump out of airplanes more."
And tell you what, he was a much better officer then alot of the new Lt.'s out of West Point, I ever had. Salute!

Past service/rank means nothing for commissioning. Having a degree, graduating from a qualified commission source/school ROTC. Or perhaps enlisting and then attending OCS
