He would like to become an 18A. He wants to be an officer in SF. I believe he is trying to find out what the best possible path would be in order to reach this goal. One option being go through the 18X pipeline and apply for OCS(which he is qualified for) and the other being try to change his contract to OCS.
Hes a stand up guy and a good leader. He is looking for career advise from BTDT's. He would be able to get OCS i'm sure because hes in tight with the our First Sergeant.
Thanks for your help

Did you read my post?
Whatever path he chooses, he has to meet the requirements for an officer AND he will have to serve 2-3 years in a Basic Branch, regardless of how tight he is with the Basic/AIT/OSUT 1SG.
He will be rolling the dice on being SF, and could wind up serving out his obligation as a Finance Officer.
Needs of the Army.
