Prospective Army OCS applicants must have:
1) Outstanding service records with no major disciplinary infringements.
2) US Citizenship, plus approriate security clearance.
3) A bachelor's degree from an accredited college/ university, or at least 90 credits towards degree completion.
4) Clear leadership potential, & commitment to continue serving & to lead.
5) The support & recommendation of their current Commanding Officer.
There's no set time-frame per se, but it's unlikely all the above could be achieved in less than 3 years' service. Once an application is accepted, it may take a few months before a place is available at OCS. Plus, if the applicant is deployed on operations it may be necessary for him/ her to complete the tour of duty before going to OCS. Much will depend on current operational requirements, and/ or the individual applicant's circumstances.
