Insider Scoop on Navy OCS

[scottwith1t]

Or to have hands full of stickers (those fvcking thorny balls that were ALL over the damn grass). I kinda would have rather have had goose crap. At least you weren't risking cellulitis with poop.

we didn't have stickers in the grass, wrong season i guess

then again i do remember times where i could not feel my hands because we were crawling on frozen or frosted grass.

Beatings?

Please explain the "beatings" you experienced. I went through AOCS a long time ago and although it was very tough, we experienced no beatings.

Thanks.

beatings= getting worked out until exhaustion

 

[Spekkio]

Beatings = RPT = when DIs make you exercise at a high intensity for screwing up.

i never really understood why it was called a "Beating" ... its just exercise, generally disguised as being spontaneous and punitive however nearly always pre-planned.

every time people bitched about beatings i wondered if these people came to OCS not expecting to work out.

Another reason to laugh at OCS guys........

I see. At AOCS we referred to this as exercise. We exercised until we fell down and threw-up and sometimes passed out. Daily. It was just part of it. Didn't like it? DOR.

Worst time to DOR is the first week (IMO). You don't know if it's just because you're disoriented from such a big change, lack of sleep, and getting sweaty. Wait a while, get used to the program (you figure out it's a big game hopefully) and make a considered decision.

AOCS Class 0387

My recruiting office said 2 of the guys I swore in with DOR'ed in the first week, and are stuck there until they can be released. Apparently they make you stay 4-5 weeks even if you do DOR. Might as well just stick it out. Confirm?

Not that I'm EVER going to do that. Those guys didn't have a clue what they were getting into.

Quickest way to get out of OCS is to graduate. I've known people who DOR'd in week 2 of my class and were there at least 3 weeks after I graduated.
