In OCS, do they do Holiday Routine on Sundays so Candidates can attend Church services if they choose?
When I was at OCS in 2007, everyone went to the chapel on Sunday mornings for a couple hours regardless of whether we were going to attend services. There were donuts and coffee, and we could make phone calls home. Sundays weren't days off, but they were more relaxed than the rest of the week.
Can't speak for today. Back in my day...just after the dinosaurs died...nothing really happened "liberty-wise" until your class got "Secured"...I dunno...I'm guessing about week 4 or so. Then you could go to the AOCS Club on Wednesday evenings, and you did get some Saturday night liberty. It may have had a curfew attached...just don't remember. Doesn't matter...probably not relevant to what goes on now.No weekend liberty in Navy OCS? The Saturday night in DC was a life saver in PLC.

No liberty until CandiO phase in week 9 these days, unless you count NEX runs for lint rollers and laundry detergent.No weekend liberty in Navy OCS? The Saturday night in DC was a life saver in PLC.
So...nothing like the old AOCS Club, I gather? A shame.No liberty until CandiO phase in week 9 these days, unless you count NEX runs for lint rollers and laundry detergent.
We had someone in Pensacola who did that (minus the matchmaking, although she did start off by telling us how she had spent her youth chasing officer candidates and finally caught one). That was mainly to prepare us for our dining out.So...nothing like the old AOCS Club, I gather? A shame.
How about anything/someone like "The Couth Lady"? Mrs. Leppert (as I recall...could be wrong...) who taught you how to eat at a formal table setting, how to ask a young lady for a dance, how to comport yourself in a dressy setting...and who helped pair you (if required) with a visiting Student Nurse for the AOCS Regimental Ball. Still do quarterly (or so) Regimental Balls? Great fun...
