Viola the Mad posted:By the way, why doesn't the Find a Recruiter site have a search agent for officer recruiters? The Army does not have specific officer recruiters. Theoretically any recruiter should be able to help with your packet. Theoretically.

FreeFunnelCake posted:If I continue on my current path and graduate in 2015 with a BS in accounting and a GPA around 3.45-3.6, what do you think my prospects are for getting into an OCS program in the Army or Navy? I don't have any medical or discipline issues and I think I would score pretty well on any physical tests. Thanks Bright Eyes posted:Does your school not have ROTC? If you're graduating in 2015 that should be 3 more years, so you should still be able to start the program. Just do this. HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:Who knows what the military's needs will be like in 2015. If we continue to downsize it might be way tougher. If we invade someone maybe way easier. Let's suppose you are a candidate today - Your grades, physical scores, extracirriculars, and rec letters all form a complete packet, but let's be real: PFT PFT PFT. Even in peace the pft is almonst everything. A 300 (perfect score) would give you, in particular, almost as good a chance as the football captain Rocket Science grad from Harvard because The Army. It's in the OP, but I don't think it emphasizes your PFT score enough. In the last couple Army OCS classes, most of the candidates had scores above 300 (yes, that is better than perfect.) If your PFT is <290 don't even waste a recruiter's time. Join clubs, get a job, volunteer, whatthefuckever. Do something besides get decent grades, because that's not enough (though it looks like you'd have that down, good work). I'm not sure I said this, but you should probably work on your PFT. nuncle jimbo fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Nov 29, 2012 |

Mustang posted:What is acceptance like these days for the Army OCS option? I'm about to graduate with a degree in International Relations, around a 3.4 GPA. Good physical shape, pretty sure I can max a PT test. No debt, no health issues, no DUI, no criminal record. And I speak lovely French, if that matters for anything. Really really goddamn hard. If your 3.4 was in STEM and you literally scored off the charts on your PFT (no seriously, people are scoring 306s and the like) you'd still probably need great extra curriculars and letters. Not sure what the Army thinks of foreign languages, but my OSO with the Marines likes my Mandarin. It can't hurt, what with the bullshit in Africa. nuncle jimbo fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Apr 13, 2013 |

iroc.dis posted:I wasn't aware until reading the OP that there are separate recruiters for officers. Are they officers themselves or are they enlisted who are specifically tasked with officer recruiting? The Army does not have separate Officer recruiters. If they try to feed you that line of BS find a different office.

iroc.dis posted:I'm guessing that applies to other branches but not the Army? I can't speak for the Navy or Air Force because I've never bothered talking to them (lol liberal arts), but I know the Marine Corps has separate Selection Officers and the Army does not.

What about if I'm Captain America and thinking about 18x because I'm tired of waiting on OCS, is that stupid? Inevitably I'll gently caress up and end up in 82nd ID, right?
