5 Minutes Until the Rest of Your Life Starts...

I was selected today for Officer Candidat School.  It took about two months, which I've found out isn't anywhere near as long as other applicants.  There were a few applicants boarding in Atlanta and our interviewers were 2 Captains and 1 Major.  All Prior Service applicants were in and out withing 5 minutes (including me) and the non PS guys were actually interviewed taking around 20 minutes each.  

Anyone going I would suggest:

Know These:

How many branches are there in the Army

What are they

Which can you get into via OCS

What is each generally like

Be prepared for:

"Tell us about yourself"

"Are you married"

"Is your (significant other) happy with your decision"

"Why do you want to be an Officer"

"What Branch"

Also:

Check out tough interview questions online

Be prepared with a broad knowledge of current events

Understand your likely path (OCS, BOLC II, BOLC III, Possibly on to a Deploying Unit)

It was much easier and more laid back than I had expected, I was still a nervous...
