I am active duty, currently working on my degree. Will my degree affect my chances to go to OCS? What I mean is it does any difference a degree in medicine or liberal arts? Also can I ask for OCS option when I finish my first contract ?

A Bachelor's degree is a Bachelor's degree - it doesn't matter what it's in.

If you are looking to commission into the Medical services or JAG, your degree will matter. If you just want to commission into a basic branch (IN, FA, SC, MI, etc.) it doesn’t seem to matter whether your degree is in Comp Sci or underwater BB stacking. I’ve seen Comp Sci majors go to Infantry and Art History majors go to Signal.

When you mean ask for OCS as an option, are you talking about reenlisting for OCS or getting out then trying to come back in through OCS? There are no options for reenlisting for OCS. That process has to go through your current chain of command. I would talk to a recruiter if you plan to ETS, then go the OCS route. Hope that helps.
