Officer Candidate School (OCS) is where the officers are made. It's an intense leadership training ground, and not everyone's cut out for it. It's physically and mentally challenging. But those who are accepted, and see it through, agree it's one of the most rewarding experiences of their lives.

OCS is a great way to enhance your leadership and management skills. Whether you're a first-time Soldier or have prior military experience, OCS will transform you into an effective leader.
