You need to get in touch with the "gold bar recruiter" in your state. You have enough college credits to enroll in OCS. Now you just need to get ahold of the officer recruiter. If you don't know who it is, call 1-800-GO-GUARD. They can transfer you to the right person. Good Luck.

Don't I need 120 credits? I thought I had to have my degree in order to be an officer.

You must have have 60 to join OCS, 90 to be comissoned, and a BA/BS to become an O-3 CPT.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but what exactly do I do for OCS? Do I go to basic? Is there a website I could get more info at?
