Command School After BMT: OCS/SCS Guide
Command school after BMT attracts a strange mix of ambition, anxiety, and folklore.
The current Reddit pattern is not just "how do I get OCS?" It is recruits trying to reverse-engineer whether commanders have already decided, whether one bad first impression matters, whether IC roles are essential, and whether OCS or SCS is still possible if their profile is imperfect.
The public official answer is more useful than the rumour mill, but also more limited. MINDEF and CMPB name the broad factors. They do not publish a public cut-off date, score formula, peer-appraisal weight, or guaranteed route into OCS or SCS.
This guide is unofficial. Your commanders, BMT unit, Posting Order, medical status, service requirements, and official instructions override anything here.
