    sTUPID qUESTIONS aBOUT ocs

    I asked this on another thread but didn't receive a response. Does anyone have insight on OHARP with dependents? Needs of the Navy versus personal request. Would one receive regular w/Dep BAH or the partial rate?

    Is overnight Liberty after Hi Moms discretionary? Can those who have recently graduated speak to this? The last time i saw this specifically addressed was years ago.

    Assigned Directly After OCS?

    What about OHARP with dependents, and the OHARP is due to needs of the Navy (backed up pipeline) vice personal request?

    I have a question about Candio boxes. Can anyone in recent classes speak to whether most folks received them? Did those receiving them (properly marked, and received at the proper time) face any repercussions?

    If your marriage is absolutely imminent then I would suggest do it now. I presume you aren't prior service, so this would be the difference between receiving family separation allowance and basic allowance for housing during OCS. Depending on where you are, the latter may be a substantial chunk...

    I've seen various comments on settling your uniform bill. At what point do you actually pay for your uniforms? Is it offset by an allowance, and you pay the remaining balance?

    I see that the ocs.navy.mil website lists running shoes on the packing list but also noticed that in many of the photographs, including those included in the gouge booklet from the recruiter, everyone is wearing the same shoes. Are those generic looking new balances seen in photos issued at OCS...

    18 MAY PILOT NFO ROLLING BOARD

    Some of the selection dates and class dates of those in final select purgatory suggest there are additional variables to be considered including when applicants are age critical and the community's respective pipelines.

    I'm prior, but being prior doesn't allow you access to BOL either. I don't think there's an alternative to just waiting.

    Not a technical question - Officer Academic Degree plan

    I used the search function, and didn't turn up anything relevant. Does anyone know off the top of their head whether their officer academic degree plan included all courses they had completed towards graduation, or just what is still outstanding/underway?

    BAH at OCS

    interesting question, since the navy would typically pay dual active sailors without dependents both at the single rate.. but your spouse wouldn't be a dependent for these purposes, so maybe no BAH?... but again, interesting...

    PRO-REC Y SWO

    I see, the way I was reading certain posts seemed to imply that they were only getting printed after selection rather than having already done so and just redoing it because the prints aged out.

    PRO-REC Y SWO

    Is there any rhyme or reason as to why some folks do fingerprints after selection and others at the time they goto meps? programmatic, or just as a result of the way certain MEPS are set up?

    OCS with a pregnant wife

    +1. Beyond this, there are deployments with kids on the way. At least this is only a training cycle. This is an integral part of military life, balancing home/family life with demanding operational/training commitments.

    Dying just thinking about that. The nukes were entertaining even in bootcamp, and I can only imagine the dynamic between nukes and USMC GySgts.

    If enlisted swim test has any bearing when instructors want a survival stroke/deadman float they give you instructions immediately preceding the test. If you are seeking a higher qualification proficiency with more than one stroke and the survival stroke are required.
