Qualified U.S. citizens who hold a bachelor's degree meet with an Officer Recruiter and prepare packages for consideration. Selection is competitive.
Applications are submitted to specific communities, rather than to OCS directly. This is in contrast to USNA and NROTC, where trainees are not associated with a community until soon before commissioning.
Course of training
OCS classes are designated by the fiscal year of their graduation (e.g. 28-09 would be the twenty-eighth class to graduate in fiscal year 2009).
Officer Candidate School or Officer Cadet School (OCS) are institutions which train civilians and enlisted personnel in order for them to gain a commission as officers in the armed forces of a country. How OCS is run differs between countries and services. Typically, it is of a short duration (less than a year), and the focus of the course is on military skills and leadership. This is in contrast with service academies which include academic instruction leading to a bachelor's degree.
Australia
Officer Cadet School of Australia – Portsea (OCS Portsea) commenced training officers for the Australian Army in 1951 and continued through to the end of 1985. Since OCS Portsea's closure in 1985, all Australian Army Officer training has been conducted at the Royal Military College, Duntroon in Canberra. During the Vietnam War, the Officer Training Unit, Scheyville was used to train and commission National Servicemen as 2nd Lieutenants between 1965 and 1972.
Depending on the course, Officer Candidates go through either a 10-week (PLC Combined/OCC), or two 6-week courses (PLC) over separate summers, designed primarily to screen and evaluate candidates' fitness to lead Marines by placing them in leadership positions in a stressful environment. Students are evaluated during 2-3 day garrison command billets at the company and platoon level, and squad and fire-team level tactical billets during field exercises.
The United States Army's Officer Candidate School (OCS), located at Fort Benning, Georgia, trains, assesses, and evaluates potential commissioned officers in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, and some Army National Guard. Officer candidates are former enlisted members (E-4 to E9), Warrant Officers, inter-service transfers, or civilian college graduates who enlist for the "OCS Option" after they complete Basic Combat Training (BCT). The latter are often referred to as "college ops".
Overview
OCS is a rigorous 12-week course designed to train, assess, evaluate, and develop second lieutenants for the U.S. Army's sixteen basic branches. It is the only commissioning source that can be responsive to the U.S. Army's changing personnel requirements due to its short length, compared to other commissioning programs and their requirements. Completing OCS is one of several ways of becoming a U.S. Army commissioned officer. The other methods are:

Navy All Hands Officer Candidate School
Whether they're coming directly from college or the Navy's enlisted ranks, the men and women who enter the golden doors of officer candidate school (OCS) receive 12 weeks of instruction from their RDCs to develop their character and professional competence - much like the recruits who report to Recruit Training Command on board Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois. The difference with OCS, though, is candidates are seeking commissions as ensigns, and their RDCs are all senior enlisted personnel from both the Navy and Marine Corps.
