Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
I wasn't interested in the monetary offer they made to keep me on-board. They seemed to be moving in a different direction and I wasn't in a position to move along with them.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Jacksonville, NC (took a day)
Carreer retention specialists tell you a whole bunch of crap, they never know what they are talking about or what is good for you and they don't care. Your just a number or a check in the box for them and thats it. My interview took 5 mins and I knew more going in then I did comming out.

The interview process was very detailed and consisted of a set of questions dealing with the laws and regulation. the interview was done by a panel of peers of high or equal ranking. The panel was composed of personnel from equal area of consideration dealing with portions of the job. the panel decision was then followed by more close interview one on one.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Quantico, VA (took 2+ weeks)
The first contact is made by the recruiter who screens the applicant for suitability to the position. Next phone interviews were conducted by two hiring managers. Unfortunately they were both not available on the same day so I had to do a screening interview with each at different times.
The next step was a face to face interview with both hiring managers and their business partners where they each asked questions from a list of approximately 100 questions.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 5 months)
If you have a +1000 SAT, + 3.0 GPA, no medical problems, good athletics, no criminal history and have a normal, well adjusted disposition, you have a good shot at making it into OCS.
Find a recruiter that will work with you and make sure you start taking care of all of the stuff you need to do.
Once you get to OCS remember that their goal is to weed people out and your goal is to stay in, so don't give up. The bar of gold at the end of the rainbow is worth it.
