I’m currently waiting acceptance into a Doctorate program. My 50 meter target is to apply for WO but I was curious about the weight civilian education has for selection and promotion in the WO side.

Do you think a graduate/post graduate degree coupled with good evals makes a difference for Senior NCO or WO promotions? Are these a plus in WO applications?

It's not a matter of what we think, you can look at the results yourself. Each branch proponent releases a board analysis after alevery promotion board. You can see that every MOS heavily favors civilian education in who they select.

It sure did when I went through the Warrant ranks, but that was from 1968 through 1991. Today it is hard for me to say but it sure can't hurt. The idea is to make yourself stand out in a crowd of those trying for the few slots.

Any civilian education is going to benefit you as a soldier.
