One of the most accurate and descriptive videos about OCS. That's true about Battle Stations, too!

I graduated from the "old OCS", class 42, May 1, 1959. The changes in training are stunning. As are the needs of the fleet. OCS is one of the greatest experiences in my life and has always provided me with a sense of pride.

Interesting… How has the training changed?

There is another way. Direct commission. Medical careers, JAG, microbiology, among others. If you have certain degrees people may qualify for direct commission.

I graduated from navy OCS in 1956. It was a tough school, but boot camp was tougher. OCS had a better quality of people, which made life easier for me.

Oh my God did the bring back memories, some good some bad. Looks like a lot of things have changed since I graduated in September of 1971. One of my favorites were the yard patrol boat, or "yippies" as we called them. I stayed in King Hall and while were two to a room we did not have private bathrooms. One gang head for the whole section. The whole time we were referred to as "officer candidate ..." There were no women back then, it was an all male environment. I remember classes in tactics, navigation, and seamanship in addition to PT and leadership. Seems to me it was a 16 week course. I think the last four weeks we were called 4th level classmen or something like that. That was when we ran the regiment. We had about 600, I think in my class. There were very few minorities too, I was one of three Blacks in the Regiment. 95% of us went straight to our ships very few went to shore stations or another school. We had a Company Office who was a LT, and Assistant Company Office, CWO2 and and an E7 Chief Petty Office. The company officers and the chief were very helpful, the warrant was a prick. Gave me the wrong impression of warrants. Fortunately when I got to my ship, I was assigned as Electrical Officer with a CWO as my Material Officer. We hit off great and still correspond from time to time today.

I am thinking about joining the navy, but as an officer. I was a marine from 2016 to 2020, so to me this is similar to USMC boot camp, the mental bit of it and drill.

I just sent my first candidate to OCS, he's gonna have fun!

@williamcollins2019 2 ай бұрын

Your view of "fun" Chief is quiet.....unique! My recruiter said the same thing to me when I left for AOCS in 1982! Many things I would call it but fun was NOT a word I would use. Challenging, stressful, confidence building, and scary is what comes to my mind about that whole time. However, I would NOT change that experience for anything else. Now retired as an 0-5 and Still remember those Officer Candidate days like it was yesterday....and Gunny Brooks for taking the time to put some discipline in my soul!

Currently studying for the ASTB. Been studying a lot. Going for SNA (Navy pilot). Hopefully reaching out to a recruiter in the next month or so. Also, the clips are a little dated but still good info. For example, @2:40 they no longer do sit-ups. Instead they do planks and other ab-workout like leg lift, bicycles.

What happens if you don't get selected for ocs? Can you try again and how many times? Or you could try to enlist and then do enlisted to officer? I have a degree from outside the US and a dual citinzenship holder.

@BaselineUS 4 ай бұрын

I think you can apply more than once. You could also go enlisted to officer- your best bet is to talk to a recruiter and they should be able to guide you through the process!

How is OCS different from Marine Corp boot camp or other military academies? Is it a review, for want of a better term; going over what was previously learned as well as new material?

@BaselineUS 6 ай бұрын

OCS is like bootcamp for officers. It's a bit more intense, and has a larger focus on leadership than bootcamp. The military academies also train officers, but incorporate military training throughout 4 years of college.

Hello what if someone already has a degree and want to apply as an officer where does he/she go? Can you apply on any recruiting centers?

@5jump 4 ай бұрын

@davidleavitt835 OCS is one way to become a Commissioned Officer. Civilians can pursue commissions through service academies (USNS Annapolis, USMA West Point, USCGA), senior military colleges, ROTC, direct commission. Enlisted service members can be commissioned through programs such as Green to Gold in the Army and Seaman to Admiral in the Navy. Army is the only branch where candidates attend Enlisted basic training. If a candidate fails OCS, they must complete their contractual obligation as an enlisted Soldier.

if you're already a fully qualified nurse, you can direct commission. In that case, you would likely attend a 5-week program called ODS also at Naval Station Newport.

In my days (1950's), one class a year is reserved for outstanding enlisted men, so you can have a CPO enrolled at OCS. Generally, OCS students have a college degree.

Although not super common, there actually are naval astronauts! Alan Shepard, the first American in space was a Naval Aviator and Naval astronaut. The first US astronauts were actually military test pilots.

@@BaselineUS read what I said lol. My point in that comment is that the job title of an astronaut isn’t a naval job and you were making it seem like it is. Approximately half are military and half are civilian. The navy is part of the military. In the beginning of the video you were implying that the navy is the only route to becoming an astronaut which is most definitely false.

Yes, Marine Corps DI’s scream. You are expected to yell back. Don’t be scared. It is stressful, but college was more stressful. I got myself through by mentally joking “if these are the best of the Marine Corps, the Corps is in a lot of trouble!” Class 04-00, Pensacola, FL And to be clear, I have a lot of respect for the DI’s. That statement was just a mental trick I used.
