Marine OCS Preparation

[Lawman]

My OSO didn't tell me about this?!?

God how many times has that phrase been uttered under the breath of a candidate.

I am really just looking for feedback from Marine OCS graduates, but have some more specific questions that, if you feel inclined, I would like to have answered.

I’ve gone through this forum and utilized other resources, but I would like to start another Marine OCS thread. Specifically, what is a typical day at OCS like. I know that this might be broken down into different stages (the first 3 weeks will be different than the second three weeks?). In addition, what is the best thing that I can do to physically train myself? My training has revolved around scoring high on the Marine PFT. However, what can I do outside of this to prepare myself for what I will encounter (longer runs… such as 5 and 10 miles? Will being able to do a lot of pull ups prepare me for the obstacle courses that I will encounter? What events will I encounter and how would you recommend training for them?) Finally, I know that I will be tested over information while I am at OCS. What are some good resources to utilize so that I can learn pertinent information before I show up at OCS?

I appreciate any feedback. I will do more research on these topics, but I would also like to benefit from the experience of those that have gone through Marine OCS.

You can find an answer to almost any question on www.marineocs.com. I know for a fact there are multiple threads on this topic there that can answer your question. However, most of the flight info you will find here.

Several months ago marine/navy/army ocs.com websites ect... stopped working for me. It just happened out of the blue. When I go to one of those sites it says "invalid IP" in the top left of the screen with a white background. It seems odd to me that I cannot access any of these military discussion boards. Does anyone have any clue to what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Matt

I have the same exact problem, and haven't found the solution yet.

Maybe its your cookies!

Don't look at me like that :tongue2_1

I mean when a webpage loads, it sometimes uses info already on your computer, so if it messed up before, maybe it is reading the old data. Then again, you probably already knew that
