    Marine OCS or PLC?

    I just stepped off Brown Field four days ago.. the only 10 week company that was there this summer was Charlie (OCC). I'm not sure exactly what you mean by PLC-Soph (PLC-C as a sophomore?). Echo Swanee, get in touch with your OSO, and check out MarineOCS.com - I'd say those are the only...

    Marine OCS or PLC?

    Alas, "rolled sleeves" are as Old Corps as I can get. You win this round..

    Marine OCS or PLC?

    R.I.P rolled sleeves. Butz - Sounds good. Be prompt, polite, and professional. That meet up is essentially a job interview, the OSO is the man who will either go to bat for you and your application, or won't..

    Marine OCS or PLC?

    Definitely tell them you're interested in air, but with the understanding that you first and foremost want to be a leader of Marines (which I assume is the case, as it should be). Only studying worth doing would be for ASTB. Run and do pull-ups, all the time. Start doing them yesterday...

    Marine OCS or PLC?

    Just FYI - no more PLC-C. Just OCC and PLC Jr/Srs (+ROTC). Get on the phone with them first, explain your circumstances and your interest, but expect that you will have to go to your OSO's office every so often.. just how often varies from OSO to OSO, so as always, YMMV.

    Two comments: 1. They give you pretty sick Doc Ock/Terminator-esque rollable shades to wear after the dilation. 2. FWIW, I had some "alone time" in the hotel room the night before and my piss was totally fine.

    OCS quotes

    So much for anonymity.. but there was a motivating individual. First SNCO I came into contact with at OCS.. cash sales/supply was quite the introduction. I have so many funny quotes.. just wish I could explain the context. Oh well.

    100 RAF Trainees told "Sorry, but it's just not working out"

    If you're a wanna-be like myself, only thing we can really do is try and be top of our class, so if the axe comes it may just graze us.. but even then there wouldn't be any guarantees. Meh.

    Lifestyle MV-22 Osprey Pilot?

    Even in your apology, it's pretty easy to glean your strong sense of self.. not neccessarily a bad thing, but just remember, hubris will be the undoing of man my friend..

    I realize this thread is a bit old, but in case you're still around, this may help some. I notice that nasty "will be" in front of your PFT score, so here's some info I figure I'll pass along, from my friends at MarineOCS.com (great resource if you haven't been there yet) Class 205 - Average...
