Any follow-up on this? Looking to have my pockets opened up and the liner replaced with something warmer.

Sign me up.

Like what? Very interested in "off the golden path" jobs to enjoy my last couple of years in but many of them seem to be hidden in some closet at Millington that the detailer only brings out if you ask about them directly?

Start with the closest alligator to the boat and get a commission...THEN start worrying about all of the other things that come with being in the Navy. Also just a little more insight, flying military aircraft in my opinion and likely in most everyone else's opinion here is one of the best...

It depends on your timing. When I was there it wasn't unheard of to have candidates sitting in H for a while but my class chief was very opposed to those guys sitting around and he went on to become the lead RDC. Things change with the needs of the Navy and with staff. If they don't need you...

Nope. You don't get rest until after you are injured. To be honest, most people get bruises, sprains, aches and just have to push through it. If they rested everyone OCS would be much longer also medical staff cant attend to every ache and pain. It is also important to keep in mind that you are...

You get tricare immediately. Your family gets it as soon as all the DEERS stuff gets taken care of which happens the first few days in Newport.

There are a few of us "Docs" Around here. Apparently Navy medicine just isn't exciting enough for us haha.

I saw that post but it seemed like you had to go to the place in person based on the post. I will check them out. For those of you interested but not wanting to look back at all the pages to find the name of the place it is called "Bikers Depot" in VA Beach.

Just finished flight school but it seems that the general consensus is to wait so my name is now on the list. Now need to find somewhere to put normal jacket pockets in under the stock pockets.

Looking for recommendations for places that do leather name tapes and will sew the name patch on to the G1 and possibly sew in some pockets on the sides under the stock pockets (I have seen this before but was told it was done overseas) in the Jax area. Thanks for the help!

Well I guess I will just go fuck myself then... here is the Navy PRT instruction since I am not a credible enough source. https://doni.daps.dla.mil/Directives/06000 Medical and Dental Services/06-100 General Physical Fitness/6110.1J.pdf

Sit and reach is no longer a PFA event. It hasn't been a requirement for a few years now.

My last working day as an Enlisted Sailor before OCS is tomorrow... the days are flying by.

Thanks for the info! You graduated OCS in may of last year, are you still in API? Is that due to backlog?

Starting to come down to crunch time! I am starting to get that feeling you get when you get to the top of the roller coaster... Cant wait to spend the spring/summer in Pensacola!

In my experience, having your name out there isnt ALWAYS a good thing haha.

Is there any benefit to doing the more difficult Officer Candidate Billets? What makes all the extra work required worth the effort apart from the pride in a job well done?

Got the word today! Will be in this class.

Checking out and checking into the Feb 14th class!

Did you have to send that letter to NAMI... they wont give me my NAMI letter until I upload some document that you get with an acceptance. I still have no idea what exactly they are looking for which is saying something since I am an 8401/8406...They need to stop making up hoops for us to jump...

Is there a better job than the rest?

Did your BOL update at any point stating that you had a FINSEL?

Cutting it a little close... Good luck to you!

That is strange... Quoted directly from BOL "There are two Yes votes required to be final selected. One vote comes from the community boards (which the Y represents). Next, Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) will now send your medical documents through the medical review process here at NRC for...

Got PROREC-Y today so I guess this is the next thread that I get to start hanging out in.

BOL results are out for active duty. OS will know in a day or two

SAME HERE!

Way to stay on topic haha

I will do you one better. Word got from me to my XO threw the grape vine that I was expecting results to be out Sunday at 1800... she called me at 1830 to see if I had heard anything and I had to tell her that they were not out yet. Needless to say, I looked out of the loop.

Nothing yet... but then again Millington probably just opened up for the day.

I think Monday is a safe bet... will probably check one more time before I go to bed and leave it alone...

maybe there was some miscommunication with time zones... or we are just too anxious lol

Nope... but then again this is my first experience with OCS boards so who knows.

Same

No, it only tells you the results for boards that you applied for.

In case anybody was curious, staring at the clock does NOT make it go any faster...and refreshing BOL does not change the "BUPERS Access has not received Selection Board or Advancement information about or for you at this time. "

Nothing up now.. must be waiting on 1800 Millington TN. time.

Even though we know the results will be out on Sunday night I find myself checking still periodically... nothing today so far haha.

The closer we get the more I feel conflicted... On one hand, I am excited at possibly being over the first major hurdle. On the other hand I am terrified of getting that "N" and having to start working on a reconsideration package. I have never had anxiety but this is what I imagine it feels...

Not going to lie...I am a little heartbroken that they wont be out tomorrow. I was really hoping they would be.

Bupers Online. It is where AD go to check the status of their OCS Package among other things. We will typically find out a day before your recruiter will call you. Once you see us mention that BOL has results, start expecting a phone call from your OR.

Nothing on BOL as of 1300 EST...

He is about to start a riot haha... Of course it is a joke, if Rufio had anything to pass he would do it himself on here. Lets use our heads.

Either you have a really invested recruiter or you are giving him/her too much credit. This is not to say that they are terrible people, they are just like you and me, when we are on vacation the last thing on our mind is work. Chances are unless your recruiter is a bit of a workaholic, they are...

Swearing in photo? Is that a thing? I know when you swear in at MEPS for enlisted it is just for show... doesn't mean anything, you can back out at any point up until you arrive at Great Mistakes. I think that swearing in, in your civis is going to quickly be forgotten when you swear in for real...

Navy times headline tomorrow "Two HMs break into PERS. Nothing found missing. Only damage was done to Mr. Ramsey's Desk" (If you know who Mr. Ramsey is you will know why we are vandalizing his desk... screw that guy.)

In some office building in Millington on some random desk is probably a pile or two of papers that has the answers to all of our questions... Kind of makes me want to reenact Mission Impossible 1 and break in to find out my fate haha.

Not sure... I toyed around with the idea of emailing the PS1 who mans the OCSQuestions email but I thought it best not to bother her with it.
