I went through OCS last year (Summer of 2003) and it was one of the hardest 13 weeks of my life. I came into OCS after 6 years in the Navy and achieving Second Class (E5). I busted my ass to get into OCS, and I was no ready for OCS.
I though I knew everything, but I forgor how to be at the bottom of the food chain; how to be broken down and built back up. My DI saolved that problem fast and as much as I may have hated it, I know she made me a better sailor and I hope a good officer. i think of her lessons often and the experiences.
Look, the point is that so much is a surprise and there is a method. Those of you who put out info to ruin the surprises are doing a disservice. To those who are lookign for info, careful what you read. Some people may put out bad info just to make it worse. Don't worry about the little things. If you do not think you can hack it, you won't... if you believe you can, you will. Cowboy up!
