Essentially OCC is for college graduates and PLC is for those still in school. See my brief breakdown below:
OCC:
-Go after college
-Train for 10 weeks
-Commission
-Report to TBS immediately
The cons of OCC are that selection is more competitive and the 10 week straight course length.
PLC:
-Go during college
-Train for two 6 weeks periods over summer (or one 10 week for PLC Combined)
-Commission after college graduation
-Report to TBS in a few months
The cons of PLC are the two 6 week periods of summer you spend training and the length of time between college graduation and TBS. I know some guys that had to wait over year before going to TBS. The average wait time though is around 4 months.
