Up through captain, it is time in service. You can be promoted early based on merit. After captain, its needs of the military and politics.

Ahh alright.

But if you're going national guard OCS isn't there a service contract attached to that or can you just jump to 11A as soon as you finish (given they got spots to fill there)?

thats what i need to find out.  my biggest fear is signing a contract putting me back in service with the rank that i left it and not being able to attend ocs.  the army will do that shit to you.  ill be stuck being enlisted again and thats sure as fuck something i refuse to do.

Well I would assume that considering you're eligible for OCS and apply for it they'll have you attend it. Thing is, won't they have you serve with the national guard for X years after completing the OCS with them, or was that the point all along?

its easier to get into active duty from there than it would be straight from being a civie.  im looking into it.  the only requirements for ocs are:

Requirements
To attend OCS, you must be:

Must enter active duty or ship to training prior to their 30th birthday. Army Reserve officer candidates must enter active duty or ship to training before their 35th birthday. (Age waivers will be granted on meritorious cases only).

Alright so basically you just complete it, jump to active duty 11A(hopefully, I guess) and end good all good?

Or the contract was wank and you get stuck with psyop e-3 ? Can't see how that's gonna happen if you apply for OCS tbh
