Coming to the defense of whoever that poor Ensign was (who will remain completely anonymous), you stop drilling after your drill comp (week 7) and then practice for graduation for like 2 days in week 12 in different squads and / or families so it's easier then you think to f**k it up. If you want to watch drill comp videos just search our class out and that should prove that we weren't a bag of ass.
If you go in the summer, is pretty much all the drill you'll learn.
In the winter, you'll learn just basic marching since you'll drill in the gym and won't have to march during drill comp.

Till they make a bigger parade deck (I'm holding my breath now...)it's the indoor card for everyone. The weather was still plenty warm enough for ours, but our DI switched it since we didn't have the room to march the right way.
So your excuse for marching out of step for the entire parade was that you didn't drill hours a day for the weeks before graduation? Some people can march, while others a rhythmically retarded...

Maybe he was asleep when the DI was telling them that every time they hear the thump of the bass drum their LEFT FOOT had better be striking the deck :sleep_125. Or maybe he needed a little personal attention from the DI: SLAP!! "What side was that Private Pile? Sir, left side, SIR!!".
Thanks to everyone for the great info on OCS. I will be at MEPS tomorrow, and I'm shooting for getting my package in front of the May boards for SNA & SNFO. Hopefully in the coming months I'll be witnessing all of this first hand!
After lurking the boards for a while I have realized that the best I can do to prepare isn't much. I too was trying to figure out the inboard outboard stuff, and attempting to get my hands on one of those gouge books.
I remember reading somewhere, on these boards maybe, that OCS is basically like a stream, hop in and it will take you to the other side, so long as you do not give up swimming and drown.
I will, however, familiarize myself with a bit of marching (my Father and Grandfather both were prior military and will give me a few tips), learn how to iron well as I'm terrible at it, and PT like mad (mainly to work on form as best I can). I feel that's about it until my recruiter gives me some more information once I am accepted.

The reporters confused the fact that the candidates would wear brown shoes later. Everyone goes black because uniformity is a big thing at OCS. Everyone must be the same, including the way the canteen flag is pointing.

Lovin' life....
Marine Barracks. A Marine SNA who was new on board here in Corpus told me he stood watch there as a stash...
I saw them bringing in new beds the other day to BATT 2. The Chow Hall is going unused.
I have some stories after I graduate as well. You all can look forward to hearing them May 23rd!
