I was looking at that gap as well. Why would he enlist for OCS with a college degree?

If you are a civilian, that's how you get a commission if you were not an Academy or ROTC grad. Your enlistment contract is for a commissioning program. About 10% of my OCS class were college grads with no prior service whose contract was BCT -> OCS -> butterbar. They came in as E-4s, became E-5s in OCS, and O-1s on graduation. And let me tell you there is nothing that warms an E-5 junior drill sergeant's heart more than an E-4 basic trainee.
