My recruiter told me the same thing. It’s completely off the schedule while others say “closed.” It leaves me to believe that maybe they know that it’s still kind of happening, but I-Sel is the best shot right now.
Closed means they are not accepting any more applicants via the normal process.
If you say so, every high ranking officer, many who have been to OCS themselves have said the opposite. Also, prior enlisted/active duty adds a lot on to “best qualified”. It is most definitely something they care about and notice. It’s what everyone that’s in tells you to fill your OCS package with. Just what I’ve personally been fed and told for the past year.
Decades of data show what I have said, most officers or others that have not been on recruiting duty don't understand how OCS boards work, they are not like other boards. What is unfortunate is those that haven't done OCS recruiting including senior officers have given bad info, including info such as the specific degree doesn't matter if you are enlisted, or GPA no longer matters if you are enlisted. Many assume what they look at for OCS boards is the same that is looked at for NROTC and it isn't, which is where the inaccurate info comes from.
Ok, thank you.
Yeah in the sim I believe it is backwards. Shoutout to @dav246 for the idea. Essentially, just flip your headphones/air buds around. So now you'll get even playing in your left ear and odd in the right. You'll also want to configure your controls to match, otherwise, your inputs will be off, even with your headphones flipped. Of course, even after flipping it, you will still hear even being called in the left and odd in the right, but you get used to that. I've attached my Antimircox settings if you want to use mine, instead of configuring it yourself. Let me know if you need any help.
Yes, as far as I am aware that would be correct. That's at least what I've been practicing for.
Yea I wouldn’t put too much stock in the online sim for 100% accuracy practice for the real test. I would just use it as a way to feel comfortable with the concept of these tests if that makes a sense? Instead just really pay attention to the instructions provided on the test, you have plenty of time to read and understand so you don’t mix up which ear does what and which button does what.
Yeah, I was able to eventully get a hold of him; funny enough on the last phone call before I was going to go in person. Met with already and have already gone to meps; this past Monday. I have the ASTB test scheduled for this upcoming Monday on the 16th
