Since you haven't shipped off to BCT yet, there is one thing you must understand. The Army isn't waiting for you in submitting your OCS package regardless of what the recruiter may have told you. You have thousands of enlisted soldiers with degrees as OCS hopefulls and for this year the Army only has approx 200 OCS slots for active duty soldiers. Believe it or not, as a civilian, you're in the driver's seat regarding your military career. Once enlisting you're at the MERCY of the Big Green Machine and at times it can be brutal. You decided to roll the dice and enlist than applying for OCS outright. Keep your fingers crossed and you best be an outstanding performer. Without your chain of command recommendaions, no OCS slot for you. You'll be competing with those who had multiple deploments to the war zone. Who would you choose?

It's always been easier as a civilian than a soldier in obtaining an OCS slot. You would think differently but that is not how the system works.The best site on OCS is armyocs dot com, go figure. Good luck in your Army career and best keep those fingers crossed.
