I'm a Mortuary Affairs Specialist (92M) in the army reserves. Have not gone to BLC yet. Currently exploring my options, I'm within my first re-enlistment window. Something I've been trying to research is how to become an OC/T but I haven't had much luck.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

While I applaud your enthusiasm, I would not even entertain that idea right now. You're a relatively new Soldier just out of BLC and not even finished your first enlistment. An OC/T, whether at the CTCs, 84th Training Command or First Army, look for people with years of experience in their MOS and with some seniority. They target E-7 to E-9 and O3+ with Company Command and higher staff experience. I've done OC/T work for years, so my advise is to concentrate on honing your skills as a 92M, get some experience doing your trade per Army Standards (what right looks like), and keep on top of what is changing in your career field (doctrine). Become a section leader and deploy either downrange or to several CSTXs for a few rotations then when your a mid-grade NCO look into OC/T work. Its that level of expertise these units are looking for. Enjoy your time in the unit. It will go fast so learn all you can.

Sir,
Thank you for your advice! I’m currently deployed as a 92M and I’m going to re-enlist under the same MOS. I would just like to know the steps so I can pursue it once I’m ready, I’m very passionate about the Mortuary Affairs and becoming an OC/T is one of the things I would like to accomplish in my Army career.

I don't know if there are Training support units with slots for E4s but you can always look for vacancies. Are you aware of the unit locator functions? Are you interested specifically in Mortuary Affairs OC/T or would a non MOS specific interest you as well?

Sir, I’m not too familiar with the unit locator functions. I’m interested specifically in Mortuary Affairs because I truly do love this MOS. I’m just looking for as much information as I can get so I can pursue it once I get a little more experience.
