What are the steps toward joining the Navy and going to OCS.?
Im a college graduate with degrees in Marketing and Accounting. Ive always wanted to serve my country. What are the qualifications for getting into OCS? Im mainly asking those who have gone through this before. I am going to meet with a recruiter next week. I wanted to know a little more then what the Internet has to offer when talking to them. Any help/ experience is appreciated.
There are no set in stone requirements for OCS other than having a degree from an accredited college. Now, that doesn't mean if you have a 2.0 GPA you are going to get accepted. OCS is competitive, basics are: good moral character, with in age limits, height/weight requirements, no major financial problems. Mostly the same things they look at for enlistments, but it is a longer process, and you have to be selected. If you have a 3.0 or better, participated in civic activities have a clean record and are in shape, you stand a good chance.
Your first step will be to fill out an application that the recruiter will give you, you will have to get letters of recommendation from people that know you well, if you know any military officers, in the grade of O-4 or above, highly recommend you get them to write a letter.
When you fill out your application you will be given three choices for what you would like to do, USE all three. What happens is your application will go to Millington, where it will be reviewed, applications are screened by the community which you wish to enter and if the 1st choice says no, then it goes to the second community, until one of them says yes or they all three say no. I have seen packages screened by other communities and an offer made for something you didn't ask for.
While you sound like a good candidate for the Supply Corps, depending on various factors you could end up as a Surface Warfare Officer. I would also inquire about the Medical Service Corps Health Care Administration field. Depending on quals and need, you may be able to get into that, if not and you would be interested in the field, ask about the program to send you for a graduate degree.
The process is not a quick one, it typically takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months. If you have any other questions, I will gladly try to help.Best of luck to you, hope to see you in the Fleet.
