    Away the boarding party (VBSS and SWOs with guns); Marines, too!

    Don't listen to these guys. Yes, you get issued your firearm at OCS to take to the fleet. Make sure and ask about the armory after your first week, AND USE YOUR CHAIN OF COMMAND. Class President to Drill Instructor, then your class Chief.

    OCS @ Newport Unofficial Gouge

    I'm signing this Friday and shipping out on the 24th. I've been hitting up some pretty hard core PT. What exactly is the big three? I think if I learned this, along with my PT sched. I will be in as good of shape as one can be in for OCS. Thanks!

    I hear ya. When my OR asked when I planned on shipping before I had applied, I asked if there was a plane leaving in 50 minutes... seeing as that's how long it takes me to get to the airport.

    I recieved my pro-rec nearly a month and a half ago. When I applied, I had both my MEPS and PRT completed. My OR told me that it shouldn't take more than two weeks. Now it's a month and a half later... I'm getting the itch! I NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS TOWN! haha!

    So I gave the OR a call the other day. Apparently I should look to go final select in 2 weeks! Apparently since I had already completed the PRT and MEPS, the final select tends to process a little quicker. He said that I should look to ship out around JAN, and at the latest FEB. I've been...

    When I recieved the call this morning, I must admit that I was in a little bit of shock with the results being out so soon. In fact, I was so overwhelmed I didn't pay attention to anything about final select information. I have a couple question, as I try to stay out of my OR's business as best...

    Latest OCS board info

    I am going to begin by apologizing wink, I couldn't understand the gouge 100%. I applied SNA only a few days after the deadline for the OCT board, and my OR even wrote in that I wanted to ship out as soon as humanly possible. If I read clearly, my non-BDCP SNA only ap was reviewed yesterday, but...

    Texas A&M University, more particularly the Corps of Cadets. I had the honor of being my unit's commander. I understand where the ivy league situation would be weighted a little bit different, but I was kinda hoping for more knowledge/history of selects from the military college arena. Long...

    I'm applying SNA in the Nov. board, and have a question for you ladies and gents. Does earning a bachelors from a military college get any brownie points with the board? I understand its appeal is totally in the minds of the board members, but I thought someone may have made a note of those...

    ozlander03, it's good to see someone from another military college! Does anyone know how much prior leadership positions help out? I would assume that it's determined by the board... and what side of the bed they wake up on that day.

    Longhorn, I suppose by putting up your flight hours and job at the flight school the board understands that you are accustom to aircraft. Man I wish I had the $ to put in a few hours, it's just so damn expensive! I have MANY hours behind the stick, just not logged. I hope that my experience in...

    Congrats Loghorn! I just want to boast a little by saying that Rick Perry was a Texas Aggie yell leader, and member of the Corps of Cadets. LoL. How do you know him? My application is VERY similar to yours. I graduated with a 3.0 from A&M, and am really happy to see that you got excepted. God's...

    Seeing as how I weighed in within the standard at MEPS, does anyone think that the board may second guess my ap since I had an overweight issue 4 years ago leading to a rejection of an AF ROTC scholarship? I explained my workout regime in my ap and also that I am on a fairly strict diet. Also, I...

    From what I understand, the October board is the 1st board of the Navy's physcal year. If this is true, then I can only expect that the officers on the board are probably accepting a high number of applicants. I could totally be off base here though.
