I have a bachelor&#39;s degree and should have my masters by the time I ETS too.

You always see OCS posters in large armories. My particular case was unique. I had just finished basic training one station unit training for military police and my unit didn&#39;t announce any OCS to us. Luckily, I was on American online back in the 1990s and 1 of the ocs instructors for the California Army National Guard Gave me the phone number to the state OCS schoolhouse and I was able to have orders cut for a symposium. I wanted to suppose him and I was selected.. I was transferred from my namy National Guard military police company company to the state OCS. I&#39;m sure something similar will Happen. Remember, National Guard has does your combat units and army reserve have your combat service support and combat support. Special units like special forces are in the National Guard and units like syop and civil affairs are in the army reserve. Logistics and military police are in both The army reserve and National Guard.

Just join the Reserves and drop a packet for OCS. O9S is kind of a Zero MOS for IET OCS candidates in BCT. You don&#39;t need it.

Ring bangers would have a cow if 90 days wonders came out with a USA commission.

Just some points to remember: You will commission into the Reserves and not back into Active Duty. You will also need to meet the requirements of US Citizen, 110 GT, and Secret Clearance in order to be qualified for a 09S contract.
