Most people think you need 4 years of ROTC or OCS to become an Army Officer. Not true.

The Early Commissioning Program (ECP) lets you commission as a 2LT in just 2 years through a Military Junior College.

How it works:
Attend 1 of 4 MJCs (listed on the graphic)
Complete ROTC + earn your Associate’s

Finish your Bachelor’s while serving
Then go to BOLC and compete for opportunities (including Active Duty if eligible)

If you’re a HS senior or prior-service and want the fastest path to a commission, this is one of the best kept secrets
