Oh my...coffee at OCS? That's amazing, I never would have expected that. Can't remember the last time I went through a day without a cup of coffee, planning on stopping a week or two before shipping to OCS. If anything, this gives me motivation to make it to candio phase haha.

I have been studying Appendix B from the 2020 OCR. Is that up to date with the current OCR?
Update: For anyone who stumbles across this thread. I got picked up for SWO and and SWO EDO. I ended up going EDO. So anyone on the alternate list, there definitely is hope.

SWO doesn't have an alternate list, you either are a Y or you are a N.
I got picked up for SWO and got put on the alternate list for SWO EDO. While waiting to shipout for SWO I got bumped up to EDO from the alternate list and accepted that contract. I did not know there was not an alternative list for SWO. I was only vouching for EDO.

Those designators that select once per year sometimes have an alternate list, what they have tended to do in the past is will say FY 21 select and FY 22 select/FY 21 alternate

curious to as if there is a limit on how many times a candidate can roll due to PT

One of mine rolled either 2 or 3 times due to PT? That person is now a LCDR and is very physically fit.
I know of one or two people who rolled for Fast Cruise 3 times, and one who rolled 4 due to vomiting. The one who rolled the fourth time was told he had one more chance to pass it, but he was told the same thing the time before, so I don't know... Just plan not to roll, and practice and work out so it won't be a problem! I promise you can do it if you put the time and effort in.

It was by the grace of the gods that I didn't roll during my fast cruise evolution. I was literally on my last legs and about to give out when a training time out was called. Unfortunately for the subject of the training time out, this was her 4th time rolling due to not being physically capable of completing fast cruise and she was out-processed after that failure.
Another person I knew rolled so many times--but during different evolutions--that she managed to have 4 years of service time (was prior service) and get that coveted "E" status for pay purposes by the time she commissioned.
Still another person--a CEC candidate--rolled so many times that I lost count. He was at OCS at least two months before I got there and did not end up graduating--due to rolling at various evolutions--until after I had long left. We didn't understand why he wasn't out-processed, but figured it was because they really needed CEC officers and couldn't afford to lose him. But who really knows. When he rolled into my class, the entire group breathed a huge sigh of relief as we knew that the DI's attention would be on him. Unfortunately, that didn't last as he inevitably rolled out of our class, too.

We had a few candidates that rolled multiple times each time for something different, I think 3 was the most from one, and that person is not a LCDR.
There was a NUPOC candidate we had who joined and had the max time in NUPOC, then during pre-OCS PRT stumbled on uneven ground messed up a knee pretty bad, but the time it was all said and done had just over 4 years enlisted time by OCS graduation.
