OCS Requirements

I was considering applying for OCS at the end of my EAOS, considering the fact that my PTS might not get approved. I had to learn the hard way, when you obliserv do not let your extention kick in if you plan on reenlisting. Furtermore, you will lose your prior PTS quota. I was wanting to know do I have a good chance of being selected as a civilian compared to someone enlisted. Also, do certain officer communities select based on GPA or the "whole person" concept. Considering my GPA is not all that but I have done plenty of volunteer work. Not to mention, I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan on a GSA assignment which I volunteered for and I'm 9 credits from completing my degree with Embry Riddle. I intend on having my degree prior to me returning from my deployment. I have a Flag Letter of Commendation and I will receive a Joint Service Commendation Medal at the end of my tour. I've also received a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of the American Red Cross for volunteer work I did. I have LOR's from two O-5's, O-4, O-3, and one from one of my professors who use to be a AF figther pilot and is a business executive now. Hopefully, I can get a LOR from my unit commander as well. I was told this was a good source of information in regards to OCS.

Well, every OCS program selects based off of the "Whole Person" concept. Enlisted or civilian isn't suppose to matter. However, if you have good things on your record as a current military member it may put you a slight step ahead of a civilian applicant if the two of you are equal across the board (purely speculation). This site is a good source of information. We suggest you browse the site (by using the search function here or Google) for any questions you may have as this site has been around for awhile now and there is plenty of info already here. If you can't find an answer to your question by all means ask. Also, be advised there are many members that are current, prior, or retired officers here so please use proper internet etiquette. Thanks...
