I was the OIC of an officer programs recruiting activity. Had a chance couple times to take AOC applicants to Pcola for what was called a VIP trip.
It was called a "NAVIP" trip (Naval Aviation Very Important Person) when I went in Nov. of 75. The DI crashing through the door screaming was an eye-opener. A guy in my AOCS class did his NAVIP trip the weekend prior to reporting to P-cola. He just stayed there and checked in Tuesday morning. SSgt Penn recognized him from his NAVIP trip, and even though he wasn't our class DI, always singled him out and called him NAVIP til graduation.
