After ocs graduation you'll attend BDOC in either San Diego or Norfolk depending on where your command is located. I believe it's 8 weeks and after that you report to your ship. I dont know if it's considered accompanied, but if you end up stationed in SD or Norfolk I'd assume its likely.
I was wondering what happens after OCS as well. Trying to decide when to sell or rent out our home. And when I should close the preschool I own. ?My wife was selected not myself.
If your ship is in SD then you go to BDOC in SD. You might as well look for a place to actually live in before BDOC starts because you’ll be there for 2 years. So yes bring your fam
Im in the same boat. Leave in July and been trying to find a good property manager to rent out the house
So are you saying if she picks orders in SD I should look for a place to stay there prior to the official graduation? SD and Norfolk the only two place to go for school after ocs?
Yeah! Idk if it would be better to just sell or what. My wife doesn’t have a date to leave yet since she is waiting for nuke results as well.
Yes that’s what I’m saying. I have a friend who is a SWO and they got their orders before graduating OCS. Wherever their ship is, means they will be there. If you go to a fleet on the west coast regardless of where on the west, you go to BDOC SD. if you go to east coast the you go to BDOC Norfolk. There is good chance your ship will be in the same place as your BDOC because they are at larger bases so if that’s the case, go ahead and get settled inSo are you saying if she picks orders in SD I should look for a place to stay there prior to the official graduation?

sorry for all the questions
Ok, that makes sense. Thanks so much. Fingers crossed we are able to head to the west coast. I don’t want to go back to Norfolk lol.
8:50 here and 9 can’t come fast enough...
Aviation was still finding out late into the night last night, so who knows how the civilians will hear about SWO today...if they hear.
