I am looking for some input from someone because I am pretty concerned that I am not going to be accepted into OCS. I will find out in the beginning of August. To give you some information, I do have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration/Accounting with a GPA that is just at par. I am 26 years old and have already enlisted. If I am not accepted into OCS, what are my chances of re-submitting an application some time down the road? I'm also not exactly sure what the age requirements are at this time. Also, if I can re-submit an application, what are some tips on making the entire packet more competitive?
I'll start by saying use the search function, questions regarding age requirements and package info have been addressed on here before. You already enlisted? I dont get what youre saying, are you prior enlisted or did you actually go to your recruiter and enlist?
I just read your info and it said you enlisted and have a ship date of April 2010. How are you going to find out in August if you got accepted into OCS if you already enlisted and have a ship date? I'm a little confused.
I agree. It appears you are going to enlisted recruit training. Are you in a town with no officer recruiter and this enlisted recruiter of yours told you to enlist first then go officer???? There is no second chance as you didn't take a first chance to go to OCS. You might want to figure out what is going on.
I've heard of applicants getting picked up for USN OCS while in DEP...I've heard of leprechauns and fairies too, so disregard if it's bad gouge.
I should have been more specific. I have two recruiters. One of them is for the enlisted side, and the other is for the officer side. I originally enlisted into the Navy, and have received a call about a week later from another recruiter explaining the possibilities for commission. He went through the entire application process with me and advised me to continue what I was doing on the enlisted side, and that I will be informed in August if I have been accepted into OCS. If that's the case, OCS would trump everything, and I would go there. If not, I still have a job with the Navy on the enlisted side. Sorry for the confusion.
I am in your same position. Enlisted first and then heard about officer programs. A guy who went to my school was in the DEP and got picked up for OCS. I also don't have a competitive GPA but both of my recuriters reassured me that I can reapply for OCS once I was done with my schooling on the enlisted side.
