Looking for a female perspective on OCS

Does anyone know how often we are able to get our hair cut?

Every two weeks in your first phase and any weekday or weekend after. But you don't have to cut your hair.

Thanks. I have my hair in a small afro now and I would like to keep it like that while at OCS.

Ok, so we are supposed to bring a black or blue one piece swimsuit. Do they have to be solid or can they have a little bit of white on them (like a logo/small band on the side)?

My understand is black or blue and it can have minimal writing (like the word speedo) but no stripes or anything. I got mine at Academy.

We don't have any good sporting goods stores in town so I'm planning on making my way to Dicks soon. I want to find one before they get out of season.

And thank you!

 

[LadyT]

Not a problem.

Hahaha, Dicks Sporting Goods that is! Probably not the best place to talk about going there.

I bought a black one piece on www.swimoutlet.com for $30. It fits really well. The sizes are not typical though so make sure you follow the measurements on the size chart. I had to go up 2 sizes. However, the size I did get fits perfectly.

Awesome! I will have to check them out!

You can purchase a Navy approved swimsuit at the uniform shop if you don't come with one. For all our swim events, females wore the PT shorts in the water as well.

I have a question about hair now that the rules have seemingly changed. Does anyone know if they actually are allowing you to keep your hair long instead of chopping it off? (For Navy OCS) If so, should I start practicing putting my hair up, or should I expect it to be cut anyways.. Hair is hair, but mine does not grow quickly at all and I know that the in between bob-bun length phase sucks.

Yes you can keep your hair long. Yes you should either practice putting it up fast and sleek or chop it off. No they will not cut your hair unless you want them to.

Just left OCS in October
