And for the love of GOD, candidates... DO NOT be a drama queen. Ya, you hurt. Pushups suck. Situps suck. But DO NOT be panting and cringing super hard and moaning and stuff. DIs HATE this. It is a sign of weakness (they literally told us this many times)

Absolutely. I always wondered who the people who did that thought they were impressing. Do, however, be loud with the noise you're supposed to be making and keep yourself off the ground as much as possible. When I got worn out pushing I'd just go down a little but yell as loud as I could, and I never got singled out for it. I didn't do that until I legitimately couldn't keep doing full pushups (or whatever extracurriculars we were practicing) though, and that's key. The people who consistently failed to put out were the ones who brought the most misery on themselves and their class. Don't be that guy.

singing of course

STAND NAVY OUT TO SEA!!!

There's nothing quite like a bathroom full of guys who can't sing trying to sing a song they don't know with vocal cords already stretched to the breaking point. One of the candios who indoc'd us had us sing Roxanne all the time. I never liked the song, but now I laugh a little whenever I hear it.

Um... as long as it isn't a girls gone wild toiletry bag, I think any will do...

Just let MB know, he likes to send gifts to candidates now and again to help them along. ;)

Why not let him choose for you? :eek:

What happens if you still have time remaining on your lease when you have a report date for ocs? I searched and found the military clause stuff, but that seemed only to apply to people already in the military. I'm expecting to get an October ocs date, but I'll have a lot of time left on my lease and I'd rather not pay rent while experiencing the joys of ocs.

You show them your orders, which meets criteria for you having to break lease under Military Clause.

You're "in the military" when you take your oath, if your landlord gives you grief, let your recruiter know ASAP.

I used a ziplock bag. It worked for about one day:icon_tong

He bowls overhand.
I used the one that I was forced to buy during indoc week and got a second one on a NEX run pre-RLP. They're something like $3-4.

This is REALLY dumb so I know it has found its place:

What happens at OCS on Halloween/Thanksgiving, or other holidays that are observed but are not grounds for leave? Do we get punished extra hard to 'give thanks' to the PT gods?

Also, if my birthday happens to fall at the end of Indoc week...is that bad? Should I be hoping nobody sends me anything with "Happy Birthday" in it? I know laying low and not drawing attention is the name of the game.
