This is absolutely key. Because of my rep on AW, I was known by the whole staff before I ever showed up.
For THIS reason and this reason ALONE, I was singled out from about weeks 2-4 REPEATEDLY for crap that everyone else was doing, however the DI magically only saw me doing it. We got beat mercilessly. At times, I was forced repeatedly to stand and watch my class get beat, whether or not I asked to join them. Did the staff have pre-conceived notions about me due to my AW rep? Ya, sure. Had I not been in the class, would they have gotten beaten? Yes, absolutely. There are STILL morons to this day, who i'm sure personally blame me for their beatings and think I'm some shitbag who should never have gotten commissioned.
They are just that: MORONS. If you think that showing up to OCS shitting an anchor and being squared the fuck away is going to get you out of the hazing and beatings, you're just an idiot. There will be PLENTY of times that a person or a group of people will be singled out and blamed for a beating (even by the staff). It's just to see if you single them out later and get angry at them or if you stick together as a team. You would have gotten beaten anyway.
Now I'm sure some of my former classmates are on AW and itching to call me a shitbag, so have at it...
