The Green to Gold program seeks talented young enlisted soldiers who have decided to leave, or are considering leaving, active duty to attend college. Quality enlisted soldiers with officer potential who have served at least two years on active duty are allowed to voluntarily request discharge from active duty, and enroll in Army ROTC to earn bachelor degrees and commissions as second lieutenants.

MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION

• Following graduation, ROTC cadets are required to serve in the active component of the U.S. Army, Army National Guard or the Army Reserve.
• All scholarship students will be required to serve in the military for a period of eight years. This obligation may be fulfilled by serving two to four years on active duty, followed by four to six years service as citizen soldiers in the Reserve Components, U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG) or U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) or by serving eight years in the ARNG or USAR preceded by a period necessary to complete the active component resident officer basic course (OBC).
• Nonscholarship graduates may serve three years on active duty and five years as citizen soldiers, or they may select or be selected to fulfill their total military obligation as citizen soldiers. If Reserve Duty is selected, graduates will serve a period of active duty necessary to complete the active component commitment as a resident OBC student, and spend the remainder of their eight-year obligation in the ARNG or USAR.

GREEN TO GOLD ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

• If you are selected for Green to Gold, you may obtain early release from active duty. Army Regulation 635-200, Chapter 16-2, provides for the honorable, early discharge of soldiers so they can enroll in an Army Senior ROTC program.

If nursing is your professional goal, there is no better place to begin your career than Army ROTC. Army ROTC offers you a unique opportunity to gain practical experience while you receive financial assistance for college. Nursing majors compete for 2-, 3-, or 4-year scholarships. ROTC enhances your undergraduate nursing education by providing the unique leadership and management training, along with the practical experience needed for success, either in the Army or in a civilian career. You will develop your professional skills while you learn some meaningful things about yourself and what you can accomplish.

You will also develop leadership skills, self-confidence, flexibility, and adaptability while having fun. Additionally, you will be able to combine college electives in military science and invaluable nurse summer training experience with your nursing program.

Army Nurse Reimbursables
Book Allowance- Presently, the book allowance is at $1200 per year. For nurse cadets the total book allowance is paid at the beginning of the Fall semester. This action allows the nurse cadet to purchase the high dollar cost reference books at the beginning of the Fall semester that are required for the full school year.
Nurse Malpractice Insurance- Nurses are required to purchase student nurse liability (malpractice) insurance prior to beginning their clinical experience and hands-on patient care. All costs and fees associated with this yearly expense are reimbursable. Immunization and testing prior to beginning clinical training-All fees incurred to meet mandatory immunization and/or laboratory testing required before coming in contact with patients are reimbursable. This includes but not limited to PPD, Hepatitis A/V, Tetanus and HIV screening.

Allowance for nursing uniforms and clinical supplies-A major financial expense at the beginning of your Junior year is the purchase of unique nursing uniforms and associated equipment. There is a one-time payment to cover the cost of the required number of school of nursing uniforms, lab coat, and shoes. Accessories and equipment include, but are not limited to: stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, penlight, tape measure, bandage scissors, forceps, pocket/belt carrying pouch, clip board, and, if required, clinical bag for community health visits.

Another way to get a head start on your future as an officer is through the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP), a volunteer officer training program that allows Army National Guard and Army Reserve enlisted members to participate in the Advanced ROTC Program. The intent of the SMP is to increase officer accessions into the Reserve Components (Reserves and National Guard) by increasing ROTC enrollment by allowing enlisted Reserves and National Guard members who are attending college to earn a commission and complete their degree. Upon completion of Basic Training or Leaders Training Course, a Reserve or National Guard soldier who is an academic sophomore or junior can join the Advanced ROTC Program. A member of the Reserves can enter into SMP as a junior and a National Guard member can enter into SMP as a sophomore. In addition, contracted non-scholarship cadets and GRFD scholarship cadets will join a Reserve or National Guard unit as a SMP cadet. SMP cadets are non deployable, however they will drill one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer. Advanced Course ROTC SMP students are paid for their Guard/Reserve training and receive the ROTC stipend depending on what academic year they are in. Upon completing the ROTC program, the officer has an eight-year obligation, which can be served in the Reserve Forces Component.
