To answer your questions, I wanted to serve my country. Period. That's what I wanted to do at USNA and still want to do. I tried on 2 boards this one being my latest and I don't stand that great of a chance. I'm still going to try to enlist in the Navy, Army, or Coast Guard but I just want to...

That's fair and I never did the chocolate milk thing (That's gross). Anyway, I've decided to stop trying and just pay off the debt. Another no and another door slammed in my face. The end of the road is nein. Well at least I tried.

Hi guys. I'm trying to go back to the military in any way shape or form. I've spent the past 2 years applying to USMC OCS and my latest PFT (Pull Ups:0, Push Ups:44, Crunches: 110, 3 Mile Run: 25:57 SCORE: 232/300) isn't great. I'm working to get better but I know my chances aren't great. In the...

Yes...why do you ask? If I spelled something wrong or something isn't grammatically correct, I apologize.

Hi this is just my curiosity but how many teachers or former teachers are applying to OCS. I noticed there were quite a few Officers in history who have gotten Education degrees and taught for a short period then left the classroom and become quite successful Marine Corps Officers. Just curious...

Hi guys I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. I applied to OCS under a Ground Contract last year (honestly my scores were horrible). Now I've readdressed and changed my life so I can be a competitive applicant. 15 pounds less and in a new environment will hopefully do me...

Yes

Thanks I'm trying to find or hold onto some hope of service or hope of anything going in my favor. Lately, I've had more doors closed in my face and no sympathy from anyone which is life but it doesn't make it any easier.

Where is it?

Hi I wanted to start a page for prior Service Academy or ROTC cadets trying to get into OCS. It's a very long, long road back after falling from grace but I think it's possible. At least I hope it is. I'll start: Prior Midshipman or Cadet: Midshipman-USNA-2014 Reason for Separation: Lied on...

What happened to him? Did he try for something else?

That bad huh?

I did something stupid at USNA which is why I'm a prior Midshipman and I explain in my personal statement to the board. The stupid USNA thing I did was lie about my height to meet USNA weight standards. At the time, the Commandant lowered them by 4% from Fleet standards and I could pass my PRT...

Thanks. I'll go with what my recruiter said and wait. The stupid USNA thing I did was lie about my height to meet USNA weight standards. At the time, the Commandant lowered them by 4% from Fleet standards and I could pass my PRT with a B (Excellent-High Sit Ups, Excellent-Medium Push Ups...

That's good to know. I'm really into Amphibous ships. I was on the USS Iwo Jima and the USS Makin Island and I really enjoyed my time in port and out at sea with both.

Hi just wanted to see how my stats held up: OAR: 50 College GPA:3.35 (BA English and BS Secondary Education) Grad School GPA: 3.30 (MS Leadership & MAEd Math Education) Prior: USNA Midshipman And also I had 2 more questions. I don't want look silly but I'd rather ask than not know. 1. How does...

Hi just wanted to see how my stats held up: OAR: 50 College GPA:3.35 (BA English and BS Secondary Education) Grad School GPA: 3.30 (MS Leadership & MAEd Math Education) Prior: USNA Midshipman

Checking in. Was it really pushed back twice? Stats: OAR:50 College GPA: 3.35 (BA English & BS Secondary Education) Grad School GPA: 3.30 (MS Leadership & MAEd in Math Education) Prior: USNA Midshipman

So my chances for SWO look good, ok I can live with that. I did something stupid at USNA and am trying to redeem myself.

Thanks. When is the next board? My Recruiter said the paperwork was due April 21 for both and the board met May 29.

Hi everyone. I'm submitting my package and I was wondering if I could get your opinions on it for both the Supply and SWO Board. Which do I stand a better chance at getting? OAR:50 College GPA: 3.35 Degrees: BA English BS Secondary Education Grad School GPA: 3.30 Degree: MS Leadership Prior...

Good Afternoon All, I was hoping I could get some advice on 2 separate issues. First: Work/School/Training Balance I applied to OCC for the class that graduated today (223) but I was not selected. Instead, I elected to start work as a teacher in a rural area an hour away from where...

So how should I put my selections? 1,2,3v? I said 1. SUPPLY 2. SWO 3.OCEANO Should I change it?

I am again sorry let me re-explain myself. Good Afternoon Gentlemen and Ladies. My screen name is Cougars 15 and I am applying to Navy OCS for FY17. I am a prior USNA Midshipman who was separated for an honor offense. I lied about my height for a weigh in back in May 2013. Since then through...

I appologize sir.

There is one. When I was in 3 years ago it was called METOC. Now it's OCEAN-O

Im new but I haven't seen too much about Metoc. I'm retaking the OAR in Nov. I've score 50 and 42 on previous exams. I just took the practice and I got a 69.

Im trying to apply. Is anyone else in the process?

I'm getting my MAE in Math and my GPA is a 3.5. Would that be competitive for Supply?

Hello everyone. I was on the Marine Corps OCS page but after not being selected or preselected and looking at myself, I have decided to apply to Navy OCS in the Fall. I was wondering if anyone had any good workouts for Navy OCS applicants. I am currently a high school teacher and my schedule is...

My OSO called me. I wasn't upset kind of. I thought I'd get preselected for May at least but I shall try again.

Not selected or preselected. Trying again in the winter.

Sorry I've been gone for a while my last board PFT was 232/300 FAH:54sec Crunches:100 Run:26:59 Maybe preselect for next May?

Took my pre board PFT and made it. FAH: 50sec Crunches: 100 Run: 26:50 Score: 225/300 Still working to get it up before the end board in June so I can be competitive.

Medical Waiver was accepted and Im going for the June Boards. Anyone else applying?

I figured I would get this started up. I didn't do so hot on my ASTB so I won't be able to get an NFO contract in time. (Eyes are too bad for Pilot-Scores: 4/1/3; I may retake it later but for now its on hold) So instead, I'm going to try to contract as Ground. Is anyone in the same boat...

I've been working for an OCS Contract and the last thing that I needed was a PapSmear. I just got one and the results aren't simply normal. My doctor said I'm fine and that a lot of this is probably stress related but this is very unsettling.They say: epithelial cell abnormality, LGSIL, mild...

I know this may be a dumb question but is it good to do Yoga before OCS? I want to improve my flexibility and balance before I go. Would this help?

So March?

From what I understand, there are three boards per each class. At each board, applicants are considered and the most competitive are chosen for OCC and/or PLC via OCS. For OCC 222, the boards are/have been held on 22 JUN 2015, 5 OCT 2015, and 7 MAR 2016...

Does anyone know when the board for OCC 222 is going to meet for the third round?
