Insider Scoop on Navy OCS

[scottwith1t]

I hated RLP. I failed it 3 times and got caught in a 2 month roll cycle which for 3 failures shouldn't have happened. That earned me my class nickname.

But yeah, the only funny thing about RLP was that I was a part of the class that received the 10:00 to dinner chow beating for a 0% pass rate. I rolled out and said class went on to become an honor class. I said wow.

so how was the fireworks during the 4th of july?


its interesting that they're spreading the suck... it used to be that the 8th week PI was just a time waster but now that they're moving the officer portion to that point means it should be easier in terms of studying but spreads the stress level more evenly.

I agree with you to some degree, but the flip side of the coin is that ALL the stress that was RLP before made it into a veritable crucible which separated those who could handle it from those who couldn't.

Granted, I failed it twice and rolled myself, so I guess at first, I couldn't handle it.

I agree but we will see what "Mr. OCS" has to say about that.

pfft, don't discount the bs factor in RLP, either. We had a guy who left clothespins on his khakis on the reinspect pass.

Oldish thread but I found a blog written by one of the candidates in the projo documentary that goes week by week with brief descriptions of the evolutions and goings-on of that week. I thought I would share in case anyone was interested.

That projo documentary had alot of my friends in it. They were class 0508. I was 0308.

1. Yep, no more bear crawling. The real question is who was the last candidate in the regiment to do one.
2. No Pcola for me as i am a Supply weenie. But this site has been extremely helpful all the same.

Our class was bear crawled to death! The first 4 classes in Newport bear crawled everywhere during morning PT, and our DI Star jumped the ever living shit out of us one day for about 2 hrs. Glad to hear the bear crawls are gone, but that just means more time for star jumpers

yeah bunny hops definitely suck. get use to bunny hopping at least 300yards... thats what we had to do for indoc week haha. my di loves those.

i would rather bear crawl for hour than do anymore of these frikin starjumpers...they're the DIs new favorites. Only a few more weeks..
