I just got word last week that I was selected to attend OCS. I've been enlisted just over 3 years as a 13F. Earned my BS back in 2011... I'm wondering there is anything I can do to prepare outside of the obvious? I will ensure I'm in great shape. I found a study guide online with various required knowledge (i.e. Alma Mater, 3 general orders, etc). What are the areas that cause the most issues?

Pull up the MILPER message for OCS. It is announced once a year. All of the instructions are in there.

That depends. What did your chain of command say?

If you have spoken to your COC then the answer should be clear. You first gain the support of your COC and then they will assist you with the packet development. If they do not support your goal then it will be a challenging road ahead, it is not often that a Soldier is accepted to the program without the support of the command. Good luck and thank you for your service.
