I’m currently enrolled in college and am wondering if completely my bachelors degree would make me more competive for promotion.
Yes I know CW2 is automatic in terms of TIG, but being looked at for 3/4 would having my bacherlors degree completed and going for my masters later.

Back story ; I’ve been saying I was going to “start” my flight packet, and never did. (Hardest part is starting it) however and buddy of mine finally helped me get my mind back on track and I’m offically going to start it.

I’m asking this question for general knowledge, any input is appreciated

There are literally zero situations where having a degree is a bad thing (unless there's a serial killer stalking college graduates, I suppose)...

In today’s Army, having a degree will make you more competitive than someone who doesn’t. The promotion rate is geared towards those who have the intellectual capacity for leadership rather than the physical aptitude.
