So after a lot of deliberating, I've decided to become an Officer in the NG. I have 122 credits and about a year left of college. I will be doing the "state OCS" where I go to school (1) weekend a month until completion. I believe it's called "state OCS" or something to that effective. I am currently working on my package, but was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the training schedule for Cal. NG. I did ask my recruiter which he is looking into, but I figured I'd ask the question in case anyone here knew where I could find it. The next class date is FY19 so I have a little time, any help would be great thanks.

People have the impression that the CA ARNG OCS program is easy. It's a much onger commitment and effort to endure the 18-month-long program than the regular FT Benning OCS avenue.
That, and prepare yourself to have the dogshit smoked out of you from the moment you report in, non stop, until you leave on Sunday evening. Good luck.

MAJ (Join to see) I wouldn't expect anything less, no matter what OCS in any branch should be challenging. If I can get through the hell that was Marine Corps boot camp I should be fine..lol. But seriously OCS should push everyone to their brink and over to weed out those who can't. ..thanks!

I gather the Calif NG OCS is apparently run out of this installation, from what one of the articles I'd sent you had said, I'm sure ifmyou just call information, you can get the main phone, there's likely a Calif NG OCS recruiter there, or the staff or operator could likely hook you up with he Commandant office, I'd figure, you know? If you have any luck, I'd be eager to know, as I'd said, OK? Hope that's of use....

I knew a first lieutenant who was separated from the California guard 9 years after he was commissioned because he never completed his bachelor's degree. Just remember, after you finish OCS in August sometime in the future, you would have to go to do your officer basic course which could be anywhere from 2 to 3 months down the road. With that and with drooling with your National Guard unit, you may not have time to finish it and eventually it's going to catch up with you. I would suggest that you get your bachelor's degree out of the way. Don't be like that first lieutenant who was an excellent military police officer who was separated for not having his bachelor's degree. What a Sad waste of talent!
