Last Class

That was the norm when I went through... that is 25 out of the original 56 didn't make it. It was not uncommon to have lots roll out, and lots roll in. Glad that I got to go through P'Cola... good times and good memories.
My class graduated 26 from the original 53.
My class only had about 3 roll out and 1 roll in. 25 seems way high to me.
Had 60 graduated 33, believe me its possible
Depends on the gunny for the most likely cause of rolling or dropping
Goldfish makes me think of 3 possible ones

Anyone know the reason for the move?
in our class (second to last) we had 48 start and 28 commission. 18 were original to the class. This kind of attrition was normal for most of the classes while I was there. The RI move was consolidation of all officer training schools (DCO/CWO school, OIS, OCS, chaplain school etc), so once again- it was $$. For those who rolled out of the last class due to illness (rabdo, heat cases) many were given the opportunity to go up to RI. For those who had ongoing medical problems and were not likely to class up soon, they were given the boot (ie: one guy with a shoulder problem). For the sh!t bags who were languishing away in H not doing anything to prove they wanted to class up, they were given the boot. Almost everyone who wanted to continue with training got the opportunity.
WOW I still think 25 is alot, we started with 39 and graduated 31...and this was with arguably one of meanest DI's there (yes yes I know everyones was mean...lol) aprox 2 years ago....he was a staff sgt and made gunny while we were there...same guy that got in trouble for beating one of his classes in choker whites...not a whole lot of fun!!
He wasn't my DI, but we did get beat by him a few times. The beatings were some of the worst we got, but by no means was he a terribly "mean" DI. He's actually pretty damn funny and seemed to leave his classes alone after the first 4-5 weeks.
Haha! You were in the class that got beat in chokers? He is now up in RI instructing class 01-08. Hilarious guy. A huge beater, but a great guy when all is said and done (apparently...don't know first hand). Didn't he get bumped back down for that?
Anyway, bottom line is this: As much as people try and take away from your OCS experience, it is hard. If it was easy, then more than 60% of an original class would be graduating with the same class.
