Thank you. I really appreciate it. I have learned a very valuable lesson in this piss contest. All, I would never discuss religion in the Wardroom, or any other professional or inappropriate platform. This is an internet blog, and I felt it a fitting platform to share my views. Lesson learned.

Ha ha! Very wise! I agree. I will just make adjustments as needed.

Thank you! I have cross-referenced so many sources and it's about equal the amount that consider the VP in the OCS Chain of Command and those that don't. I am on the Code of Conduct now, and will worry about that tidbit when I get there. :)

Villanelle Good thing we live in America and are welcome to say how we feel, religious or otherwise, true or otherwise. I was simply stating how I feel on a policy that applies to me. You can talk about this until you are blue in the face, and it will not affect you because you are not going to...

I guess I assumed it was a pretty well known scripture. Also, I hinted that it wasn't my own thoughts, but I didn't want to really get into religion and was going to leave it at that. I thought I should clarify after Villanelle thought I was some kind mindless follower who didn't know how to...

It doesn't really matter one way or the other. If the policy hasn't changed, those of us women who want this life so badly will be getting our hair cut. And if the policy has changed, then we will be deciding for ourselves, individually, the best way to wear our hair in OCS that it is in...

I agree with why they cut your hair. It's a part of breaking you down to build you up. It's uniformity.... I am 23 years old and have been managing my own hair styles since I was 9. With very curly, frizzy hair I am grateful for "good hair days" and when my ponytails are not lopsided. So 3...

It's actually in 1st Corinthians in the Bible. Because of my faith, I choose to take it as truth and indulge. But that's a whole other discussion... Don't get me wrong, I would get a Mr. Clean baldy if it meant becoming a Naval Officer. I just wouldn't like it very much. I am happy they have...

A Woman's hair is her glory. I didn't come up with that on my own. It's not that I didn't want to cut my hair into a boyish style, I just have super curly hair and I was concerned about how I was going to be in regs when it could could only be 2 inches from my scalp. I also think a bun is easier...

Yea, even the Mission of the Navy was wrong. I guess what I really want to know for sanity's sake is, is the Vice President in the Chain of Command? In the OCS website PDF, he is not, and in the OCS website info he is.

Great! Thanks! I was very confused, but that makes sense.

Thank you! That's what I will go with then. Also, the book has 15 people in the Chain of Command and the website only has 13. It's strange.

I am very confused. I have been studying the material from the OCS.mil memorization section, but now I have the Guide to Success gouge book my OR gave me. The Chain of Command is basically the same but has different wording. For instance, on the OCS.mil site the fourth person in the Chain of...

My OR told me this yesterday!!! But he says that no official document has come out, so I won't be surprised if I get there and they butcher it. I made an appointment for two weeks from now to get it all cut off, so I would have time to get used to it, but now I don't know what to do!

I went to see my OR today and he thinks I will be in the Sept. 21st class as well. He said if not then, then prob the next class in Oct... I am just getting ready for OCS regardless by working out and memorizing everything... I found this website with downloadable Marine Cadences. It's pretty...

Not that I am an expert on application packages, my OR just said he wouldn't submit my package without at least 3 interview appraisals. I didn't know any either. That's where the internet came in. I stalked linked-in, Facebook, and other Navy community websites. I found names and then I googled...

That makes sense too. I guess it doesn't matter. My OR wanted everything done before the 5 May application date. I guess his thought was that if I failed either one, MEPS or the background check, there would be no point of submitting my app.... I have no idea how long it took. We had done...

My OR made me do all of that before the Board even covened. I thought you had to have that done first? I suppose not, after reading your post...

Thank you, Sir! I am so grateful for this opportunity.

Thank you!!!

Thank you, Sir! I just found out that I was Pro-Rec Y for Supply!

Thank you, sir!!!!

Does out to Field mean the NRD? Or to the Fleet? Thanks.

Thank you, Sir. I am really on the fence about this one. My ultimate goal is to be an Officer. Also, I am one who intends to make this my career. I did not put any other job field on my application, because I may not be happy doing anything else. My degree is in Communications and I didn't even...

Thank you, Sir! I hope so! ... I am really bad at math without a formula sheet and calculator, so I was scared to retake the OAR and get a lower score. My strong subjects have always been English and history, but I have hands on retail experience. I feel that is invaluable when compared to...

Thank you, Sir! I was told you would be coming after me for my lack of profile. I didn't know what was too much information. I will try again. Let me know what you think!

I so hope you are right! I would love nothing more than to meet the acquaintance of something painted gray and sitting in water, because that would mean my aspirations have come to fruition.... As for my profile, I am currently stalking everyone else's to see what is pertinent for my own. Pretty...

Thank you. I haven't even gotten selected yet, so everything I am even doing/thinking about is cart before the horse... To clarify, I didn't mean myself personally. From what my brother was saying there's typical protocol for first assignments, and I was just wondering if the Navy had any...

I am currently waiting for the Supply results as well, but I was wondering what are the chances of my first assignment after Supply School being abroad? My little brother is in the Air Force and he wanted his first duty station to be abroad, but he was told that rarely happens, for Air Force...
