I haven't found out my date yet, but my recruiter put in a request for early departure asap if the opportunity comes up. So hopefully I will be going to OCS 6-8 months, but I am not holding my breath. I just can't wait. I am marking the days off my calander until I leave and take another step in fullfilling my dream of flying F-18's. I've got a younger brother that just joined the Marines (officer). He is going through their OCS right now, so I have to get in as soon as possible so that I can out rank him and so that he has to salute me not vice versa.
