I am active duty. Currently on leave so I haven't been able to reach out to my CCC. I can touch base with them the week after next when I get back. I just couldn't find anything on the forum.

Making Recruiting Great Again
If you get selected for your second choice before your first choice, your first choice will still be considered.
Okay, that is good to know. Thank you very much @RUFiO181 .

At OCS, when do we get issued our dog tags and military ID?

You get your CAC at some point in the Officer Candidate phase. I do not believe dog tags are issued at OCS, but I could be wrong.

meh, worst case scenario, we die.
I was actually curious about that too. In Great Lakes it was one of the first things they did. But since you aren't technically an O1/ ENS until commissioning, so what would it say on your ID?

All OCs are E-5s. Or at least we’re paid that way, the grade denotes nothing in terms of authority.

Yes. So does your CAC card Say E5 on it, or do they issue your commissioned ID while still in the OC phase? Seems kinda silly to issue someone a E5/ OC CAC when they will have to just get a brand new ID in another 2 months.
I guess not the weirdest thing I have experienced in the military though.

Yep. Not surprised at all.

How stingy are bathroom breaks? I have the bladder of a 50 year old woman who's birthed a barber shop quartet. Maybe the Navy is forgiving enough not to consider Depends contraband.
Head calls and water re-fills are two things you'll never be denied at OCS, and they're pretty good about it. Just ask permission if you're under instruction. If you're in class, most instructors don't care if you get up and go as needed, but a lot of them will break for 5-10 minutes every once in a while to let people go too.

What are some of the best ways to prep for RLP? Do the DIs and RDCs even have time to go through each one of your shorts, shirts, and socks to look for loose threads?
Also, if you fail RLP do you get to look at your scoresheet to see where you failed?

If you have to use that much mental gymnastics shooting for the minimum numbers you will fail during the real deal. Due to stress, sleep, overhydrating, and lack of quality food you will be weaker and slower than you are now. Don't just scrape by. Surpass. Seriously aim for a good low.
Of course not. But the moment you show that you didn't study for knowledge they're going to take time to find enough things wrong to fail you.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear that there likely won't be an issue. It's laughably been one of my biggest worries about OCS.
