I'm actually going to be in town on the 7th. My orders have a report no later than date of 8 OCT, so I'm not taking any chances.

Where will you be staying?

I'm staying on base at the gateway inn(BOQ). They said it's the Newport Chalet.

The OCS website says that's one of the lodges on base. Does that mean you'll have to go through whatever gate there is and enter the base where OCS is located?

Yes, I will be on the base. I'm currently Active Duty enlisted, so it won't be a problem for me. Don't know if they are allowing civilians to stay there, but wouldn't see why not as you would be under orders.

Thanks; I'll look into that.

Yes, you can stay there. I've got a reservation for the 29th of October.

Jesse,
Google Navy Gateway Inn, from there you can select the location and bring up the phone contact info to make a reservation.

Nope, just tell them you'll be coming for OCS, and they'll ask you for your last 4. I'm assuming as long as they match your orders, you're ok.

I haven't received my orders yet, has everybody already got em?
I have already been changed twice (was originally July 16, and then sept 25) and I am really hoping I don't get moved again. Sitting on your ass for 4 months can get old.
I plan on getting to Newport on Oct 7 and staying with a friend until I report on the 9th.
How is everyones physical fitness and how much gouge do you have memorized?

For those of you guys who are flying, how do you plan on getting from the providence airport to Newport. I was told to get a taxi and keep the receipt and the Navy will reimburse, but that's gotta be one expensive taxi ride.

I called Chalet and civilians can stay there on official orders...
I plan to get there on the 8th by plane and take a taxi (navy site rec's cozy cab and some others that are allowed on base so I may try them)

I have been changed twice and have no orders...yet. I have been told this date is solid for me but I've heard that before lol.
As far as physical fitness I've been running a lot through college and I stay in marathon shape, swim, and calisthenics. I been trying to stay in shape because I was supposed to leave in June and a bunch of other dates. I haven't looked at gouge yet because I work a lot right now and I have off 1.5 weeks before OCT 9 and I will study then.
