OCS selection

by Marty

Oct 3, 2017

Very proud that our son has received his OCS selection letter.  Both his grandfathers served but the process is new to me and his mother. 

How long does it typically take to get his class date? 

Does anyone have an estimate of the OCS graduation rates?   

Thanks, Marty

    Our son was selected for SWO in April and it still waiting. No one seems to have any way of telling what the dates are. A little frustrating ... but I am sure it will be worth it.

    Marty,

    Here's my son's (LTJG, US Navy OCS Class 11-14) reply:

    I think it took me six months to get a class date. It varies widely. 
    Graduation rate is over 80% when i came through. And that's just counting folks who you start with. Most who roll will graduate in another class. 
    P.S. Know gouge inside out before arrival.

    Hi all,

    I am new on this site as my son graduates from college in a few weeks and was told verbally he may go to OCS in January.  Does anyone know how soon before his OCS report date he should expect to receive the official orders with the exact report date?  thanks to all of you for this information!
