    Live by the gauge die by the gauge. Definitely memorize the big five before you get there. You don't need a car there. Unless it's easy for you to drive...I wouldn't drive Cross Country or anything. Totally not worth it.

    1. They do not care what underwear you bring. The online checklist is crappie and they are currently fixing it. 2. Bring your shot records! Unless you like shots. 3. Don't worry about white undershirts. You'll. E issued them there. I recommend getting small shirts when you get there. They fit...

    GOUGE OCS Survivor's Guide (updated Jan. 2016)

    I guess what I really want to know is what rank verbiage I should be studying. Everyone says the appendix b verbatim. But if you look at the verbiage for officer shoulder devices the appendix b changes how it states "one gold five pointed star" five different ways and their is no consistancy...

    GOUGE OCS Survivor's Guide (updated Jan. 2016)

    The Survivors guide does not include the CWO-5 rank; however, the Appendix b updated in 2014 does. Is the CWO-5 rank no longer testable? Also, the rank verbiage defers from the appendix b. Example 0-8 states "Two Silver Star" whereas the Appendix b states "four silver five-pointed stars". These...

    Do they do a hearing test. I was just over the threshold to not require a waiver for one of my ears. It can deviate 5 -10 db so I'm hoping to avoid any complications. Thanks.

    Becoming a SWO, what to look forward to

    Can anyone comment on the current training pipeline. The old threads seem to be a little dated. One states SWOs is in Newport/San Diego. Do SWOs leave directly from RI to their homestation or directly to the schoolhouse?

    Honestly I haven't got that far yet. I know we apply for seperation under vMPF. I would imagine we would provide the paperwork once we swear in to the MPF. I have an SRB (bonus) too.

    I had my commander sign the conditional release form when I begun the application process. In fact, that was the first thing my recruiter made me do before she would work with me. I guess she wanted to make sure my CC would let me go before we moved forward. As far as swearing in... I'm awaiting...

    GPA questions

    Not true. In my case I had four colleges. If the credits from any of those colleges counted towards my degree they were calculated into the "final" GPA used by the Navy. For Example 27 classes that I took were from the college I graduated from; however, the remaining 13 classes were not. The...
