I'm currently a Specialist, married with a kid and another one on the way. During my time at airborne school (July, 2020) my wife was diagnosed with a chronic illness, and it has been a huge adjustment for us all. I want to know what daily life is like for both paths and how much time I'll have to take care of my family, or if it's a full immersion training with little to no contact with family. I have my bachelor's degree and 135 GT score. I'm currently infantry but wish to change that with going officer.

If you already have a degree is does not make much sense to go green to gold unless you want to get another degree.

SPC (Join to see) That being said, Green to Gold may be a good option. You can do ROTC in 2 years and I have heard of people getting Active Duty pay after you contract with ROTC. It will take longer but you may have more benefits going that route and an easier lifestyle through your advanced education.

I Wanted To Go Green To Gold. However, Here I Am. E4 Mafia For Life.
My Suggestion Tho Would Be Green To Gold.
A Lot Of LTs Would Come In Thinking They're The Shitt But I Was A SPC And Knew WAY More Than Them. I Respected All Higher Ups However, I Had The Utmost Respect For Green To Gold Because They Knew Their Shitt To The T Most Of The Time

I encourage my soldiers to look into G2G! Depending on your type of scholarship, you would be getting paid active duty pay to go to school! As long as your degree program is not academically rigorous, it would be very family conducive. PT three times a week, a few hours of class a day... too easy for someone like you
