Were you opposed to traditional OCS? I can’t speak to either as I direct commissioned but at 18 months you should already be looked at for 1LT so definitely look into options for both routesResponse by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 26 at 2018 11:03 AM2018-01-26T11:03:53-05:002018-01-26T11:03:53-05:00CPT Andrew Wright3296861<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes, I have also seen it done. Your best option is to directly contact the state OCS staff and ask what procedure works for them. Make sure your unit Commander is willing to approve your enrollment in OCS as well. Its been a few years since I served in the Guard but here in Oklahoma they would accept candidates almost up to the last minute of the class start date. Best of luck!Response by CPT Andrew Wright made Jan 26 at 2018 9:12 PM2018-01-26T21:12:06-05:002018-01-26T21:12:06-05:002018-01-26T08:55:15-05:00
