Has anyone quit a job for OCS?

I raised $$ for a political think tank in DC after I graduated for 2 years before I got in to OCS.

A college degree doesn't guaruntee a "white-collar professional career type jobs." Most college degree holders are actually doing jobs that a high school dropout could perform and making about just as much.

Maybe your personal experience, not mine or most of the people I know though.

Remember our previous company mantra "We Run the Tightest Ship in the Shipping Business"? Well now its all about who can manufacture the best numbers on paper. Not the best sales performers- but the best perfomers on paper. Very sad to see it but it's a factual reality. Sad to see it evolve this way but so many of my customers are going via the same way. It's definitely a national trend.

Not to thread-jack, but where does the difference manifest itself?

"Screw 'em...take the money and run".

My feeling on the situation...most companies have no problem letting you go when it benefits them...That being said, I gave mine 6 months notice so I could make some change training my replacement.

If you can hack it, go jobless while waiting. You won't have a chance for bumming for a very long time after being accepted. I'm thoroughly enjoying my freedom since quitting in June. OCS is coming up quick, though!

If you can't hack it, wait tables/tend bar. Easy cash.
