I am currently enlisted army and am trying to go to OCS. Not sure what steps I need to take. I have already got a bachelors and have talked to my command. Can anyone help with info on how to start the process?

SPC (Join to see) They have an S1 that can answer that for them. Here is the link to the checklist from HRC:

Pull up the MILPER message for OCS. It is announced once a year. All of the instructions are in there.

If you have spoken to your COC then the answer should be clear. You first gain the support of your COC and then they will assist you with the packet development. If they do not support your goal then it will be a challenging road ahead, it is not often that a Soldier is accepted to the program without the support of the command. Good luck and thank you for your service.
