It depends on your class team. In most cases, you pick in order of your overall class rank (average of your academic, PT, and inspection scores). Our class team was nice enough to give our SWOs a list of available ships and they all hashed it out together before picking.
All I know is they went into a room to hash it out amongst themselves while we chilled somewhere else until they came out with differing levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction on their face.
If you are a candio lol
I'm nov6. Sounds like we'll both be back in time for the game unless we roll
Isn't there a break over Christmas and new years? Im thinking I may just reach Candio by the bowl
I heard you can either opt for 2 weeks for christmas or 2 weeks for new year, not sure on the specifics.
Does anybody else have details on the holiday schedule and how it works?
You’ll be issued a drill rifle that you’ll learn rifle manual with through the 5th week of OCS. Depending on your RDCs or DI, you’ll also do a good bit of rifle PT as well.
Awesome, thank you for the reply! I just closed my browser after telling myself nobody would answer this! ?
You don’t “flip a gun around.” They teach you a routine of movements and you do that repeatedly until your class does it well and does it in sync.
Looks like so much fun and so much to learn!
