No, unless your class team dictates so. We got used to doing it that way and writing that way when we had to do writing assignments like writing out the entire Chow Hall Procedures 10x. More than likely your DI won't care, but we did it anyways because we got used to writing like that.
It actually took me a bit after OCS to stop writing like that. In some cases, I still do. But all in all, this is the least of your worries. You'll have about one billion WAY more important things to worry about than writing style.
What is the maximum width they allow you to place your hands for push-ups at OCS? In the videos I've seen, everyone has their hands close and narrow, right below shoulders. In the one video they say "hands should be under shoulders or slightly wider". My question is then, what is slightly wider? And do they have different standards in OCS for PFA pushups and regular PT pushups?
Don't nuke it. Just a normal pushup. Chances are if they are yelling about that, they would have found something (as long as your pushups look good). If you want something to practice, I would say thumbs just touching your shoulders (if you go down to the deck) is about the widest you could go for a normal pushup.
As far as different standards for PFA and PT, if I'm interpreting the questions right that depends on the class. I had one DI that required perfect form all the time and another that would let you go to the deck on every pushup and struggle like an idiot with awful form (but he would beat the class until everyone looked like that, so it wasn't making things easier).

I was gonna say, that sounded like a thing his style.
No kidding? I had Class Drill Instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hurst, United States Marine Corps as well. What a small world. Did he send you guys on deployment? We not only got sent on deployment but also made port calls (moved to different p-ways each night). It was a good time. He is a master at hurricaning rooms.
Nope
