For a direct commission yes, but not OCS in the reserves or guard. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 31 Aug 2019 22:38:28 -0400 2019-08-31T22:38:28-04:00 Response by 2LT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2019 10:39 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/anyone-got-any-suggestions-on-things-that-need-to-get-done-in-order-to-pick-up-sergeant?n=4977493&urlhash=4977493 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What is being an NCO a requirement for, exactly? 2LT Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 31 Aug 2019 22:39:04 -0400 2019-08-31T22:39:04-04:00 Response by 2LT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 31 at 2019 10:48 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/anyone-got-any-suggestions-on-things-that-need-to-get-done-in-order-to-pick-up-sergeant?n=4977531&urlhash=4977531 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I just commissioned through OCS in May and can confirm that being an NCO is not a requirement. Half of the people on my class cane straight from Basic Training. 2LT Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 31 Aug 2019 22:48:17 -0400 2019-08-31T22:48:17-04:00 2019-08-31T22:36:07-04:00
