I'm a US citizen, I was born and lived in Florida for a time but my family has since left the States and moved elsewhere. Now, as my time at university draws to a close, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to apply for OCS from outside the country (I currently reside in the United Kingdom), or if it requires me to move state-side before I begin the process. Any tips/ advice would be much appreciated.

The normal OCS enlistment process is interview with the recruiter, build the application, test, physical, back ground checks, educational evaluation, and interview with an OCS selection board usually held at the Recruiting Battalion Headquarters. Achieving all that you would go back to MEPS and get your school dates. Frankly, you are going to have to come back to the US to get all that done. Best of Luck!

Or they could just take a day trip to Germany and speak to the recruiters there....

Alexander Wiltshire … You've got to speak with a Recruiter... you'll have to go through all the paperwork/background check, etc. If you're qualified & want to pursue it, go for it!

Best bet is to e-mail a military recruiter about your situation. Keep in mind that although you have US citizenship, UK university may or may qualify under the educational requirement. You would also have to meet other requirements (e.g. age, medical, etc.)
