Black Ninja beatings huh?

He gave me one of my favorite individual beating stories. I had to do the radio inventory one time but we weren't Candios just yet so we were all still subject to all the regular OC rules and beatings. I had to find the missing radios and it meant going to each room in DI country, doing door entry procedures, and balistically asking each DI if they seen a radio. I made it to about 4 offices, avoid two potential beat down situations until I got to the Black Ninja who no doubt heard my all about my situation from his desk. I asked and his response was, "Why are you in my office sounding like a little B*****." I'm just thinking to myself "oh boy.:eek:" "Tell you what, step into my office, we are about to play some games." I got my s**** wrecked for about 20 minutes, got his famous muscle failure pushup cadence, was used as a prop for other Candidates in DI country about how not to act, and finally recovered. He then says, ," Now, what was it you wanted to ask?" Out of breath and covered in sweat I asked if he seen the radios. He said No and to get the hell out of his office. I carefully did door exit procedures for all my worth and high tailed it out of DI country. Screw the radios for the day, lol

I actually managed to keep away from any individual beatings here at OCS. *knock on wood. Good story...OCS is still here, and still works the same - you'll be glad to know. 13 days!

I just need to learn to keep my mouth shut. My whole life I've had a problem of saying what's on my mind. I guess I'll correct that real quick at OCS.

I just kept finding those damn if you do damn if you don't situations like a magnet. This was a prime example.

BTW, The Black Ninja is still at Newport for a little over a month.

This is true. Belay my last. I thought he was gone and then he showed up one day and made my stomach sink. :D

Friday can't come quick enough. Still no orders though...wtf?

You are correct, these will be rectified in short-order and with flawless execution. Navy schools as these have a way of fixing these things by way of physical adjustment :D

I remember one time when I was in dive school, I said, "hey" to an instructor. I will never forget the ensuing PT :( I think we all have our own stories of when our deficiencies were corrected at one time or another.

4. DO NOT call a your Class CPO, "Chief". He/She is a sir/ma'am until the day of your commission. I'm talking to all you priors!!

A bit of a Necro, and this may have already been updated elsewhere on another thread, but #4 is no longer current.

I graduated 2 JUL 15 and during our entire time we referred to staff by their proper rank, and got dropped when failing to do so. I think this has been in place now for a few years.

Otherwise everything else still seems to be valid. Just to re-iterate what's been mentioned elsewhere:

No more poopie suites, chrome domes, eating by the numbers, or addressing all staff (enlisted included) as sir/mam regardless of rank. No more wake-up Wednesday (its now first Friday) and indoc phase is 3 weeks with IST being on Wednesday and RLP usually the last Thursday of week 3. RPT is limited to 10 minute sessions. Currently, they're trying a pilot program with Khaki wear starting week 7 and new OOD/JOOD/JOOW watches on each deck. Graduation has been shortened quite a bit too. (no more chow hall procedures demonstration for family and some DI's don't even do a final RPT). Hi-Moms, Grad run, private commissioning, and grad ceremony itself are still present but no first salutes or silver dollar exchange though.

Not, trying to start the old "it was harder when I went through" stuff but what exactly sucks about OCS now? It seems to me they have unfortunately killed all the stuff that sucked but you laughed about later as well as fun traditions like the first salute. Doing all the demos for the families was always entertaining as well and I thought a nice touch.

Have they done ANYthing to replace the suck?

Seems like everyone only remembers Candi-O when they get out. OCS sucks, it has in the past, it does now, and it will in the future. Changing out of poopie suits and into NWUs doesn't change the fact that you are an indoc getting pounded from 0500-2200 everyday. They keep the stress to a maximum regardless of the changes they make. OCS is making changes literally class by class and it always will. Do I agree with all the changes, hell no, but they aren't up to us to decide. Bottom line is that OCS is still pumping out quality Naval Officers (and a few shitty ones that sneak by).
