I've been looking into this as well. You must be eligible to reenlist.

How does the Green to Gold program work? | RallyPoint

What happens during the time you are in Green to Gold? Like you are attending a school with ROTC and doing academics at the same time? do you have to do ROTC during that time? How do you choose what branch you go to next? Have you done it? Why, why not?

These are all easily answered through your unit. There are several factors at play, starting with eligeability and acceptance into the program. Please reach out to your retention NCO. It also helps to speak with the command Team as an Officers recommendation goes a long way when seeking to be one. Thank you for your service.

Along with suggestions below, talk to recruiting officer at college/university that you want to attend. Along with your command team, school cadre might also have critical information.

Being released from active duty into Cadet Command is the outcome of being selected for G2G. If you choose the non scholarship route, you are eligible to enlist in the Guard or Reserves under Simultaneous Membership Program.

You most definitely can. That's exactly what I did. Most units will process it like a school drop, but the paperwork is obviously different.

Yes you can. It does go through both your chain of command and the ROTC program. Basically you get discharged for the purposes of Green to Gold.
