    2nd Lt. Erica McLean, an Army reservist, takes the Army Officer Oath of Service at North Chapel on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Jan. 13, during a direct commissioning ceremony, in which McLean traded in her staff sergeant stripes for the gold bar of a second lieutenant. McLean applied for the straight-to-officer incentive, which requires soldiers to at least have bachelor's degrees in the fields they want to join as officers, in late September and was accepted just three months later.
