This was beaten to death a while back and I don't remember anybody thinking the course was anything other than 3.0 miles. Nobody I went to OCS with (either time) thought the course was anything other than 3.0 miles.
Lots of people see their run time on the initial PFT drop a little and want something to blame it on........thus, the course becomes too long. The most likely reason is that you've just spent 2-3 days in a new environment, getting less sleep and eating differently than you were before. It won't make you lose 4-6 minutes but it will make a difference.
