You're fine just bring something you’re comfortable in. My class was filled with a huge variety of color/brands of running shoes.

good to know! will they issue running shoes though? and if so, are we supposed to wear the issued ones or the pair we bring?

New around here but I have some questions regarding OCS:
1. I can’t find any instruction on it, but for the Appraisal’s I know It’s preferred to have Officers from the line you’re applying too do your interviews (applying to 1810, currently have interviews lined up with a O6 & O7). My question is can a Warrant 5 do appraisals as well or just an LOR? Also would it hurt to have an O6 SWO complete one of my appraisal interviews if I know it would be a good result.
2. My next question is I was wondering how my packet odds were. i got a 46 on the OAR, but have been working in the cryptology field for over 2 years so I have a little bit of experience, My degree is a B.S. in Information systems, I was a summa cum laude graduate. However my GPA prior to restarting school (restarted at a new school at 66 credits) was a 2.58. My total cumulative gpa should be around 3.4. My evals are pretty strong, I have a strong endorsement from my CO, been told my personal statements are very strong, and I’ve held leadership roles at every stop of my career thus far.
Also the appraisal’s mentioned above to be considered. I am applying for 1810 CW.

I was selected for intel for the June class. It’s a long story short, but recently my brother attempted suicide and I want to take time to be with him until his fiancé returns from out of the country. My recruiter said that If I ask to be pushed to the next class odds are that they’ll give my slot to someone else. Does anyone have experience with this or can advise on my situation?

You have a valid family reason to request to be pushed, send an email to him with what your request is and why. You should always send request via email so there is a trail.

Congratulations on your selection! Sorry to hear about your brother, sincerely hope that life begins to improve for him and he can put this in the past. It is a tough predicament you're in, I cannot even imagine. Hopefully you can attend to family matters and keep your spot, too. Best of luck!

Does anyone have any practical recommendations on where to start reading this thread? I am very new to military life, so I do have a lot of questions. Appreciate it!
