OCS is competitive, but you should still do all you can to help out your fellow candidates. This will boost your peer evals and will make your time at OCS more enjoyable since you will be closer to your classmates. There is ZERO tolerance for integrity violations. An example... 5 guys in my buddies platoon were kicked out for meeting with an active duty Marine on liberty which was strictly forbidden. When questioned about it they lied and said it never happened. Also, one of the guys in my company fell asleep during a class. When asked later on if he fell asleep he said no. He was gone within a day or two.
