In-Service Dilemma
Question: How can I make myself a more competitive candidate as an in-service applicant?
Is it worth it trying to get to ocs with the current backlog or is it better to go G2G?
Background: 26M Currently 3.5 yrs TIS (6yr Contract) I joined with a bachelors in Economics (2.2 GPA). I fully understand by GPA is way below normal however my GT is 127 and the rest of my line scores are in the high 120s/130s. My issue is figuring out what I need to do add to my resume for it to be competitive. I’m combat arms so the prospect of Ranger School and EIB has come up. Has anyone taken classes through an Ed Center to raise their GPA? On the other side, there’s applying for ADO G2G for a masters, but again my bachelors gpa raises eyebrows. The circumstances as to why my gpa was that low no longer pertain to my current situation. Lastly I had heard there’s a massive backlog for reporting to OCS if anyone is able to confirm? The total time from submitting to commissioning is also a consideration between OCS and G2G. Stated end goal is to commission one way or another. Any helpful input is greatly appreciated.
