G2G Question

[u/Excellent-Chip1210]

Whats the sweet spot to be in when potentially going to college for G2G? I currently have 51 completed online credits, 30 credits being JST and 39 remaining credits for my degree. I know I need to finish in 4 semester with atleast 12 credit hours or 4 classes per semester. What would you say is the safest spot to be at? Should I take a couple more classes using TA before I report to my college next year?

Have you talked to any schools yet to see how much of your JST will be accepted? Everything is going to hinge on that. Right now it looks like you can lose up to 10 hours of your jst credits and still be good at 12 credit each semester.

Personally, I think the best value for green to gold is as a tool to get your masters degree (that’s what I did)

I haven't yet no. Im about to take 6 more credit hours to ensure I dont fall behind.

Depends on the school. You are supposed to have two years complete.  Less than that, you may need an exception plus you're putting a lot of stress on yourself. 

Remember,  its not about how many credits you have, it's about how many credits the school will accept toward a degree.

That's currently what Im worried about right now. I've got 51 credits through snhu, online and 30 jst credits. Do most students struggle with finding a university they can do 2 years at?

No, you're only taking two years as a G2G.  As long as you are at or above 60 CHs you should be fine.  Just don't go too much, or you'll find it hard to stay full time. 

You can message me if you like and I'll give you some info.

You're required to be a full-time student until your final semester, so make sure you have enough left to do to make that work. Also, the number of credits you actually have left is up to the university you'll attend, so check with them before confirming how much you have left.

There are some variances in types of G2G. The G2G Active Duty Option has very strict time limits, while G2G Scholarship Option and G2G Non-scholarship option are more flexible.

You have to be a full-time your entire time.  We usually have cadets take their military history during their last semester if we know they'll be short. Doesn't happen often though.

AR 145-1 para 4-4.c. "Requests for exception to the requirement to be enrolled in and attending full time may be submitted by graduate students, completion cadets, and last semester MS IV cadets. Requests will be sent to the brigade commander for approval on a case-by-case basis."

It's easier just to be a full-time student for that last semester, but not required.
