What was your work experience prior to applying to OCS?

[penguin88]

Hi there! I've enjoyed reading this forum - lots of helpful posts! This is my first post

I'm applying to OCS for Supply Corps. I was just wondering - for those of you who are applying/have applied to OCS - did you go right from college?

If you had work experience, what was your role/what field were you in? I'm currently working in public accounting.

I eased in my way to the top at Vivid Video Studios in LA to the "Key Grip" position. Once there I knew there was no where else to go -but down. MB here worked with Puma Swede. (remotely)

After college there were no jobs in Finance that I could find in my area so I applied to OCS. I was a non-select so I decided to enlist and have been a tron (AT) for the last 3 years. Just dropped my package in again today! Hoping for pilot, but also applying NFO and supply!
