As an enlisted soldier, how would I begin the process of starting an OCS Packet?

Damon; always begin any process in the uniformed services with your COC (Chain of Command).

Complete your DA Form 4187 for your COC's approval and endorsement. Attach copies of your educational qualifications, physical fitness test record, awards and recognition. Make your packet appealing with recommendations from your Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, First Sergeant and above. Prove to your Command that you follow rules, the CoC and Service Values; you are not alone and your superiors, peers and subordinates support your objective of becoming a Commissioned Officer.

Finally; understand it is best to get endorsements from your CSMs and other commissioned officers. The more the merrier. Members of Congress letters of recommendation weigh gold in this process and GOs weigh platinum. See how your influence can best serve your purpose to achieve your objective.

Thanks.

I just wanted to know what you mean “with that being said.” After you said the CO is a CW4?

Go to the S-1 for the packet. You need to be high speed and impress your seniors to include the commander in order for them to help you with a recommendation from the BN CO. You also need to think deeply about why you want to become an officer. You can't sound tentative when asked the question.
