Can I go to OSC with more than 6 years AFS?

I want to apply for OSC, but it says must not have more than 6 years AFS. Is that a hard deal breaker or is that a fairly easy waiver to get. GTG is not an option as I already have a BA and MBA.

I would look at the current MILPER message for OCS. When I went through, the cut off was 10 years TAFS.

You may want to look at the other military branches if you can't go Army.

Not sure if you would qualify. But another option to check out.
