Are you a former soldier, sailor, or airman who left the service without getting the most out of your potential? Are you a leader in the civilian sector who knows you have more to give back to the country you love so much? If so, you should consider entering the Army, Army Reserves, or Army National Guard, earn your commission as a Second Lieutenant, and begin or restart an exciting career as a leader in the world’s best military. The Ultimate Officer Candidate School Guidebook explains everything you need to know to achieve these goals.Earning the right to become an officer in the U.S. Army is an honour and a privilege.

The book offers 19 chapters of information to help potential candidates earn a commission in the Army.
