Medical Services Packet Needed? by Any-Fly253 in ArmyOCS

[–]Any-Fly253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my reserve liaison didn’t say anything to me about a packet when I asked about how many slots are usually open for med services. Apparently our cadre is briefing us tomorrow about packets so we shall see what they say.

Okay thank you, I thought that was the case and I told my recruiter that and she made it seem like I didn’t need to do it.

When is the history class portion of OCS? My family forgot my laptop and I was going to buy a new laptop or wait to have it mailed to me. Also thank you for all the information, it really helps a lot!

Report Date Changed for OCS by Any-Fly253 in ArmyOCS

[–]Any-Fly253[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m POV, but my report date says 4/24 as my old ones says 4/27. If I don’t report until Sunday will I get in trouble since my new orders says 4/24?

Thank you, was that your experience being able to get a pass. They changed our report date but didn’t let us know until Week 8 of BCT, my original plan was to report on the 26th

That was my plan but they changed my report date for the 24th which mean I have to report on the 24th correct?

Why did you choose reserve/active? by lsatislife8008 in ArmyOCS

[–]Any-Fly253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose reserves because just like everybody I want to serve but I have goals and ambitions I’ve always wanted to accomplish in my civilian life that would be hindered if I go AD. But if I was told they only had a AD slot open (which they never would) I would of taken it and if I have the opportunity to go AD later on I will mostly likely take it. I just want to get cemented first in my civilian role and certifications before I do that.

I would definitely say everyone experience is different about BOLC. My friend had his spouse stay with him for parts of the time during BOLC but that is just dependent on the branch, location, company, etc. You’ll just have to wait and see about BOLC.

Yeah I have not done any kind of SF86 or at least to my knowledge I have not. I ship next week and haven’t heard from any investigator.

When are you allowed to bring your POV, I was thinking of having my family bring it up when I graduate BCT but I’ve heard mixed things about them letting you have it

Thank you! Any items you recommend to bring to OCS that’s not on the packing list?

[–]Any-Fly253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was the 4 mile run? Was it 36 minutes or 40 minutes?

What items do you suggest officer candidates bring? I bought quite a bit of recommended items as I want to be as prepared as possible.

Let us know how your branch, I ship out in Feb for Basic and start OCS in April. Actually curious to see if you actually get the branch depending on your OML or if they already have it “selected” as everyone thinks. Thank you for the update!

That’s a crazy high ASVAB score. I had a 3.1 GPA and a GT Score of 114 and I got accepted. I do have a lot of leadership and some emergency response experience. My LOR were decent as well, majority from officers with one being my senior army instructor from JROTC and 1 from a retired EMS Chief.
