I verified your name is on our initial roster. I'm a little concerned with your travel itinerary. You said your recruitment office gave you a flight arriving Sunday night but you purchased your own flight? Why did you not just change your given itinerary? Be advised, that you may not be...

Check-in begins at 0800hrs. If you can't get there until 0900 that's fine.

Don't stress too much over socks. You will be issued black socks for your boots. For your PTU the uniform regs stipulate the socks should not go past mid-calf. Ankle socks, and black athletic socks are not authorized for students at OCS. Other than that, just make sure you have some decent white...

Here is the exact quote from our website about this issue. Sorry for the confusion. "Upon arrival to OTC, check-in wearing appropriate civilian attire on the Sunday closest to your report date at 0800. Ask the Base Security for directions for OCS check-in and follow posted signs that read "OCS...

Everyone: there is bad information going around that as long as you try hard on your first physical fitness test on Wed of Week 1 that you will not roll into Holding Company. That is completely false. If you fail due to being out of body composition standards, or you fail any part of the PRT...

There is no need to have a separate pair of shoes just for inspection. You can absolutely use your normal shoes. However, I highly recommend you bring a newer but worn in pair when you report. Don't waste your money on something that isn't going to help you pass an inspection.

Great question. You should absolutely register for absentee. That will probably become a normality for everyone now as we are rarely present in our state of residence during an election. If you have other questions about that once you are here we can get the answers from our Voting Services Officer.

Everyone needs to report to Callaghan Hall in Training Country beginning 0800hrs on Sunday 21 AUG 16. You can use your orders to check into the Navy Lodge or Navy Gateway sooner but report for check-in and to commence training on Sunday. I know it is confusing, but if you attempt to check in...

Hello to everyone. I will be one of your class officers and wanted to introduce myself here to offer what help I can to ensure you are all set-up for success. Our website provides good information for what to bring. Be advised, you need to check-in Sunday 21AUG16 beginning at 0800hrs at...

Minimalist shoes are not authorized at OCS. Stick to good quality running shoes.

Does everyone have their travel plans set? Do you have a hotel for Saturday night? Have you set up transportation from the airport to your hotel and then to base Sunday? Plan to arrive by mid-late morning on Sunday. There is A LOT to do and it will be a long day! I hope you're ready!!! Your...

Class up is a mere few days away. If anyone has any last minute concerns, let me know asap. Remember!!! Bring good running shoes!! Bring your checkbook too so you can write a check to pay for your class swag for CandiO phase.

He probably will and it is fair to take him on his word. But, it is then trusting the mail... Make sure you have all of the documentation required as listed on the OCS website. If you have that, you'll be all up round. That way you don't have to rely on anyone else

AE2, If medical will not give your record to you because of their precious "policy" then so be it. I don't see any immediate medical implications. It is all in the online database anyway since you are a prior. Just make sure you have the information to have it requested to expedite the process...

That is not necessarily correct. Go to the OCS website and check the link of what to bring. Be sure to have all of that as applicable.

Well 03-16 classes up today. That means ya'll are next in three weeks. Hope you're excited!

I'm sorry to hear your orders are as clear as fog. Everyone is to report by noon on Sunday 27 SEP. If anyone suffers travel delays be sure to call the Command Duty Officer 401-862-4321 and let us know.

Your recruiter is correct. When I reported to OCS way back when I only brought immunization records. If you have any special medical/dental concerns then bring your record. Otherwise, the Navy will create a new med/dental record on you that you are going to take to every assignment with you...

You SHOULDN'T need to bring them. However, should and shouldn't are two of my favorite words in the service. You know how that goes... So my rec is that you bring them anyway. Better to be over prepared.

Everyone should be flying (if you're not driving here) into T.F. Green (PVD) airport which is just outside Providence, RI. Orange Cab runs a shuttle to Newport and can access the base. If you use your report letter (those of you that aren't priors) you can stay at the Navy Gateway Inns on base...

1. Your national defense ribbon will be issued to you. You can buy the other at the uniform shop if needed. You won't be wearing those until week 6 anyway. 2. Shoes. Don't nuke it. We don't care what color they are here. We just care that they are in good shape and will not cause injury. 3...

Ok I just checked with the staff in the student services office. They said it DOES in fact need to be original docs. But you can mail them home once no longer needed here. Do not bring original driver's license. Bring a copy of that. Hope this helps.

I don't think it will matter what color skivvies you have as long as you have white ones for inspection and your whites. This class should not be wearing whites for any occasion during training since the switchover to blues will happen soon.

The general structure of the school is the same though some of the evolutions have changed. You all don't need to focus too much on the exact specifics. Just know there have been some serious changes to the program compared to what you see on the videos. I want everyone to just focus on the...

Yes the class convening on 27 SEP is Class 04-16. 1. PT Shoes (aka "Go Fasters"): No you do not need a pair of shoes for inspection and another for PT. We have a lot of people only bring one crappy pair. Not a good plan. My personal opinion would be to bring one that is newer but fairly worn...

Good question @AJOaks . My recommendation: bring two pairs of running shoes. You will not have a problem with storage space in your rooms. If I remember right, I too brought two pairs of shoes. Don't worry about for inspection or practical use. Just worry about having a quality running shoe. We...

Hey all! As a proud OCS grad I have a few tidbits of advice, take it or leave it. 1. Bring a brand new to very newish pair of running shoes. 2. Be ready for the IST, if you fail, you roll. No orange belt, you roll. That means 3 more weeks (at least): that being said, be sure you can do pushups...

Hey I went through this same thing. I was tabled in March and then Pro-Rec'd in April. I have seen at least one posting from a guy that was tabled in March and then non-selected in April. So hopefully it is a very good thing! Stay positive and keep busy. If you've ever seen the figures of...

How is it that you have already sworn in? My date is 03 OCT as well and my OR said that I cant come swear in until much closer to my report date. I want my white card so I can go shop at the air force base nearby! :) I'm Graig, 28m, Southern California, SWO.

Hey Everyone, So I received my Pro-Rec in April and recently heard from my recruiter at NRD San Diego that my "informal" date for OCS was 03 OCT. Still waiting on the official letter though.. 28..m.. SWO... So. Cal (Riverside)

So that is my post from way long ago... How the hell did that guy repost it? I see his status says "banned." Anyway - tuke09 - I did get my results, thanks. Pro-Rec. Anyway... that was weird.

PRO REC FOR SWO!!!! I know this is an aviator site, but SWO is what I wanted! I am so surprised at all the Pro-Recs I'm seeing! CONGRATS EVERYONE!! To any non-selects.. Sorry guys.. KEEP AT IT IF YOU ARE YOUNG ENOUGH! I'm 28 and this was my one chance!

I think you perhaps do not understand the OAR. The Officer Aptitude Rating is derived from performance only on the Math Skills, Mechanical Comprehension, and Reading Comprehension test. The three other tests that ask nautical/aviation knowledge help create the 3 other scores. So your OAR was not...

hahahaha that was great, totally needed that release. Thanks. So results are definitely not out today. Anyone wager it will be tomorrow? Or should we just pool our money and buy some old frigate, have our own ocs class, and make our own poor mans Navy? It could work...

Stand fast everyone! The news will get to us! Many of us have been working toward this for many many months; and some have been rolled from previous boards. We will get our resolution soon enough! Stay strong, and stay hopeful. There isn't much else we can do until we know... Good Luck to...

HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! Thats awesome! I worked really hard to put together my package though, I wish my ASTB score was higher sure, but I hope it really isnt that way. Leave that way to the financial institutions... JK!

I was one of the 15 that were tabled. My OR said he has never seen that done before and that they did look at our apps but tabled us for some reason. Better than being non-selected like 74% of the apps were! Thinking positive thoughts on this board... The decisions are made, now we wait... er...

Today is the day everyone!! Keep your fingers crossed! Good Luck to You ALL!!

I'm with you brother! I'm in that 4% too. Come on Navy come on! I hope all 4% of us get in and get the same OCS class. We can have our own squad. I just want SWO, I wana drive ships!

So on OCS Portal I found a thread with the MAR 2010 SWO results.. These numbers ought to make you gag Total Surface Warfare DA Applications: 427 SWO DA Select: 91 (21%) SWO DA Non-Select: 321 (74%) Tabled for next Board: 15 (4%)

Tell you what... My birthday is 23 APR. Should the results come out that day and I receive a Pro-Rec, that's the best birthday present I could ask for. So, I guess that means put me for an over.

Hey Man If you don't already have your application totally in then you are trying for the May boards. The April boards cut off was 26 MAR. So you might want to forward your post to the May 2010 boards thread. I dont think you can get an officer interview for SNA. My OR told me that the PRT was...

My OR told me there were 10 apps tabled. I don't know if it was SWO or all communities. I just really hope they Pro-Rec us this month! I've read about the SWO training, but it isnt 2 years, its 4. Just the first two are the most difficult working for your SWO pin. I mentioned in my motivational...

That's also true, so I've heard. MEPS is run by the Army. I would say though that if MEPS disqualifies you that it is probably going to be pretty difficult to get the Navy to qualify you. Getting medically qualified as an officer is more difficult than enlisted, at least in standards.

According to my OR you don't have to go to MEPS before Pro-Rec but it just helps because obtaining the medical qual can take a long time. Just because you get qualified at MEPS doesnt mean the Navy will clear you to be an officer. It can take months to get medically cleared.

Hey I took the paper version... took me all three times.. :banghead_ which is why I couldn't get my app in until Feb. But I finally got that 50+ score. Very frustrating test because the 3 versions are all pretty different in difficulty. I really don't see that other than getting scores...

Hey jtdees, You are the first person that I have heard from the March board that is in the same situation I am with being tabled for SWO. Very weird huh? Kind of like a darn I didnt get pro-rec'd but whew I didn't get non-select. Hopefully it means they want to hire us in April! I have my...

Congrats Jsas! It's really weird the way things turned out. But there were HUNDREDS of apps for all communities. I applied for SWO but my app was submitted right at the cutoff in Feb. So, I think they look at them in order of submit. Since apps had been collecting for months I think a lot of the...

I was a very patient officer-wanabe (or at least pretending to be so!) He called me just after 1100 this morning. And I'm in the So Cal area! He said that all of his applicants except me were flat out rejected. Whew! I wasn't pro-rec'd but wasn't rejected. AHHH!!! Selection Board Limbo!

Hey Guys! So I'm switching sides and coming to the April 2010 thread now. My app was reviewed at the March board and, (thank God!) I was not rejected like most of the hundreds of people - but, was not Pro-Rec'd. I have a feeling it was because I was way down on the list since my app was sent off...
