I think this may be what my recruiter meant, but I'm not sure and will have to certainly clarify it with her when she returns to town later in the week. The confusion seems to be for me that I have to swear in or enlist at MEPS, I may have some incorrect terminology there, and then attend Basic training. So it's not that cut and dry as just saying your an officer candidate who goes to OCS. I'll try to get some clear answers soon.
