The straight answer right now is - no. During the last six months we have had almost a dozen prior Kings Point graduates contact our office asking if they could transfer from the SSO and go Active Duty Army. Unfortunately, DA (Department of the Army) has said no. It is still wide open for those entering the Army as brand new Lieutenants graduating from Kings Point, but for those already commissioned in another service, even a reserve, the option is not available.
So if you might be interested in the Army, think long and hard before you turn down this option, because it is gone once you graduate.
On a positive note, if you are interested in joining the Army Reserve or Army National Guard after graduation we can do that. In fact we have had a number of prior graduates transfer from the MMR/SSO into one of the reserve components. Once in the Guard or Reserve there are ways to transfer to active duty after you become a branch qualified officer - there are no guarantees, but it has happened.
Come in and talk to us. Many of you are here for the options, but once you graduate many of those options go away.
