OCS packing list for OCC-190

Wow.

I showed up with one extra pair of civilian clothes, some hangars, and my hygiene gear. I feel underprepared and I already went through OCS! :p
 
Where can one buy those green silkies? And Tpering, for the rubber stamp, what is it used for and should it be first initial, period, then last name or no period needed?
 
I bought the custom made rubber stamp at Office Depot. It cost around $7 and has my first initial and full last name on it. I don't think they'll care about the period for you initial. It took about 1 week for Office Depot to get it made, so if you want one for OCC 190, I recommend you order one today.

I thought I read a uniform regulation somewhere that the letters on the stamp should not be larger than 1/2 inch. I could be wrong about that, but just to be safe the letters on my stamp are less than 1/2 inch tall.
 
what is it with blue pens??? why doesnt anyone like blue? I love blue pens - hate using black pens - you cant tell what was written and what was original.

just wondering what the pen racism is all about.
 
I'm sure one of your OCS instructors would have a much more creative response to your question than I would.

All gov't documents are completed in black pen. More specific to your future case - you can only write your 300 word essays in black pen.

Not exactly true...One of the candidates in my platoon had to write his 300 word essay in black, blue, and red ink, alternating words. So it was kind of like this:

This United States Marine Corps Officer Candidate will not refer to himself in the first person. By referring to himself in third person, he will learn that he is no longer an individual, but is part of a team.

and so on
