The milper message just came out and I was accepted into OCS. I am in the reserves now. When should I start wearing my ocs rank. I can not find this in the reg any where.

Thank you

You put it on when you get there. Probably start with the gold OCS rank before you class up and then you put on the black. Recommend you put on the gold just before you sign in.

DA Pam and AR 670-1 show you how to wear the OCS insignias. There is no “rank” in OCS, you’re simply a candidate. As CPT Sharpe said, you should report to OCS wearing the OCS insignia, not before or while still attending battle assembly. Good luck in OCS.

I agree, I pinned mine on in the parking lot of OCS. Good luck

When you get to the schoolhouse. They will tell you which rank to wear, and when to wear it. You certainly don't put it on prior to arriving at the school.

Congratulations. Now, First thing before going, and do it every day. Look in a Mirror and remember who you are and where you came from.
