The process of applying to OCS is time consuming and at times an intensive process. The time it takes to complete the process will vary based on each individual's situation and what steps the Army or MEPS requires the applicant to complete. These steps may include outside medical consultations or waivers for various conditions or situations in the applicant's life. For most applicants, the process will take two or three months. Some applications may take less time to complete and some will take more.
The best advice I can give my readers is to stay on top of the process at all times. Your application is not the only one your recruiter is responsible for so it is your responsibility to be sure things continue to move forward. Staying on top of the process avoids unnecessary delays and prevents your application from missing important deadlines.
Note: The process for applying to OCS and its rules changes from time to time so the information below may already be or will become outdated as you are going through the process. I will do my best to update it as time allows but be advised that I will not have much time to do so in the foreseeable future.
