OCS Application Questions

I’m currently in the process of applying for OCS (And Possibly MSC-IPP). A little background: I just picked up E-6 this past March and have been in for 8 years. I already have a degree with a 3.8 GPA, but I haven’t taken the OAR yet since I’m currently deployed. I’m working now on getting interviews scheduled and medical documentation.


I’m interested in applying for SUPPO and AMDO. My main questions are:
  1. Realistically, how much of the application process can I complete without having my OAR score yet?
  2. I’ll likely need a TIS waiver, and possibly one for a missing math course (per the PA for SUPPO). Has anyone gone through a similar situation, and what was your experience with the waiver process?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

First and foremost, welcome to the forum! Second, the new guy/gal posts are a bit discouraged and there's tons of resources at your disposal to find the answers, including individual board threads like Supply and AMDO.

Second, leverage your CCC and Wardroom to find an officer mentor or two to advocate for you. Best of luck!
 
Good AfternoonEveryone, I am currently serving in the Navy Reserve and in the process of applying for Active Duty through the Officer Candidate School (OCS) program for a Student Naval Aviator commission. I am 30 years old and in my final semester completing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Drone Engineering. At this stage, I have completed my medical evaluation and ASTB, and I am in the process of conducting my three officer interviews and finalizing my application package. However, I am experiencing some confusion regarding the next steps for routing my DD-368 (Request for Conditional Release). My Career Counselor advised me to coordinate with an Active Duty Navy Officer Recruiter to obtain the DD-368, as it must be routed through my Chain of Command. When I reached out to the Officer Recruiters, they informed me that they are unable to assist Reserve personnel and that they cannot provide or process the DD-368. I relayed my Career Counselor’s guidance to them, but they reiterated that they are not authorized to handle Reserve applications. I am respectfully seeking clarification and guidance on the correct procedure for obtaining and routing a DD-368 and ensuring my OCS application can move forward properly. Any assistance or direction anyone can provide would be greatly

Thank you for sharing this. I was not aware of this link. On it, what should I look for if I am seeking a DD-368? I do not really see where the I can find a DD-368 or receive one on it.

Are you asking how to find a DD-368? Quick Google search should do the trick.

If you’re asking about filling it out there’s instructions on the second page.
