Someone should compile a list of the greatest OCS essay topics ever. Here are my nominations:
"Why this candidate is a retard and how this candidate plans to cure his retardation"
"A 300 word history of the road guard vest"
"What this candidate is trying to do to the Staff Sergeant's beloved Marine Corps"
"Why there is no such thing as a Platoon Instructor"
"The difference between a Platoon Sergeant and a Sergeant Instructor"
"Manual of arms for scratching one's ass"
and my favorite.....
"What's so funny" As in, "heythereyoohoo, you owe me 300 words. Topic? What's so daggone funny"
Man, I almost miss Brown Field. As one other candidate so eloquently put it, it was by far the most fun I never, ever, want to have to have again.
