The application processes are completely separate. While recruiters are generally knowledgeable about what is available, this is probably not something they are extremely familiar with. Being prior service will not likley limit the jobs available, your GT score might. That being said, is 90 your GT score? I'm pretty sure that you had to have at least a 110 to get into OCS.Response by MAJ Milan George made Mar 13 at 2019 1:27 PM2019-03-13T13:27:32-04:002019-03-13T13:27:32-04:00SFC David Reid, M.S, PHR, SHRM-CP, DTM4916673<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good Question?Response by SFC David Reid, M.S, PHR, SHRM-CP, DTM made Aug 14 at 2019 7:51 PM2019-08-14T19:51:56-04:002019-08-14T19:51:56-04:002019-03-13T12:57:31-04:00
