I am currently a 68K at Ft. Benning but want to go to OCS. I was wondering if a DUI in college would disqualify me?

You can only apply and see what happens. No one can guess for you

If you don't apply your shot is 0%. If you apply and they reject you the process will only help as things needed to be competitive for an ocs selection are what is needed to make SGT. If they reject you, keep pushing for self improvement as the Army may loosen standards later based on who we are at war with.

As others have stated, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I don't know about your command, but possibly if the DUI was a loooong time ago and you've demonstrated you have been a mature, responsible, productive citizen, who knows? I would never give up and don't let the fear of rejection stop you. Good luck!

I had to have a moral waiver to become an Officer... Not for a DUI, but non the less.
