Actually I was not thinking of warrant officers. There are still enlisted men, non-commissioned officers who are promoted to the rank of second lieutenant....etc...and there are still battlefield commissions.
Battlefield promotions are limited to enlisted, and they are limited to a one-grade increase, not enlisted-to-officer.
:shrug: College is a requirement (by and large) to be an officer.
I do think that anyone planning to become an officer should seek a college education, however not having one does not mean there is no other way. Some of them are promoted merely based on technical skills.
Yes- but those are Warrants, who at best can become Limited Duty Officers.
