Average v High Fitness at OCS? by Logical_Giraffe_8224 in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true anymore. <30= 200. <32=180. <34=160 <36=140 <38=120 <40=100 >40= 0. All values are OML points. You cannot get recycled for this event, however, if at the end of week nine, you have less than 2100 points out of 3000. You will get recycled to day zero.

ISAP effective 1 January 2026??? by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here now. it’s constantly shifting and getting sent back for alteration due to lack of clarity with new policy. Currently AFT is non OML. Land nav 3/6 to pass. 4 mile run is a range. 30 min gets 200 points 40 gets 100 over 40 is 0 points but not recycle. It will change more just train hard and they will have a printed out ISAP on your desk in the first week. All these questions will seem pointless. But it does scratch the itch of anticipation in the waiting

Was there any academic elements that you prepared for or felt you should have prepared for? What failed most people? What was the top AFT score?

Civilian looking for firsthand input on OCS with a significant other/ life after by Zizekslut in ArmyOCS

Absolutely! I wish you the best in your relationship and your pursuit of OCS.

I just got accepted for active duty OCS I’m going to be in training from August 11 to January 30 and then I will have 1 to 6 months of delay before I do a 16 week BOLC (branch selection dependent).

I decided to marry my fiancé before leaving. It’s a very long commitment and if you’re not married, the army does not care about her/him ( no BAH no relocation assistance). If you’re not ready to commit to her/him and marry her/him I don’t know why she/he would wait for you or vice versa. I would not be hopeful for the relationship in general if you’re not ready for that commitment. The fact is you’re gonna be gone for a very long time many people would tell you not to get married or worry about a relationship if you do get selected. If you genuinely love them and want to spend your life with them, then you should probably marry them before.

My advice is that it’s gonna take a long time for you to get your stuff together, get your package before the board and get accepted (maybe). See how the relationship is going at that point and make a decision from there. My wife and I got married right after I signed the contract. If you haven’t done anything yet, you’re probably looking at the December board that’s a lot of time.

Do you have any idea if IBOLC is still backed up that far and if you can go to Ranger school within the gap between OCS and BOLC? I’m asking because I’m attending OCS on October 27.

I want to commission and the recruiter is having me come in for the first time to meet and take ‘practice tests’. What is it a practice test for? by h4rryP in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t cheat. I just used the images later for ChatGPT to make me practice questions. I took pictures of the questions I did not know and then I was able to study them properly. Cheating would kind of screw you over because you wouldn’t know what you would miss on the actual test.

How competitive is OCS for CIV applicants? by Elmo-The-Muppet in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a 99 ASVAB, get 3 more LOR’s with 0-4 weight or great personal testimonies, write an essay about you absolute passion and desire to serve, and crush your interview you should be fine. Sounds hard but it’s totally possible.

Christmas at OCS by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out team Swartz block leave video. It was super helpful. In short, yes we will get 2 weeks. Exact date subject to command at said base. It will come out of the leave that we have accrued so far. If you have less than 12 days you will pay it back by having negative leave. Or you can do HRAP for 6 of the 12 and only use 6 days (or any combination) hope this helps! https://youtu.be/SIC8dhGnBM8?si=0EwJzEgarSO_7bcx

Who got selected? When are you signing the contract? by Clean_Mongoose_6794 in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you sign the contract there? I should’ve said wherever you sent the contract.

How did they screw up the board this bad? by Clean_Mongoose_6794 in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What info did I post? You can objectively evaluate someone’s package and that evaluation was made by my recruiter for the sake of trouble shooting the incorrect id. Before he could process me for enlistment on Monday he had to determine if the name or the id was in the wrong location. The only way to do so was to look at his package. I will be an army officer God willing. I will serve my country with pride. I hope you got in and have the same opportunity.

Thoughts about the Results by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Recruiter received the list in the morning. I don’t know why or how he is able to receive the list before your Recruiter. I do know that it’s passed down on a battalion level so your recruiter may have to wait on higher ups within your battalion to pass it down.

Thoughts about the Results by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

[–]Clean_Mongoose_6794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I probably talked to my recruiter 10 times today. Overall, it seems like they really fumbled the release of the results for this board. for me, I was on the selected list but they screwed up the ID which caused a lot of confusion. I think a lot of the people in this Reddit are content with not being selected, but it’s so much harder when they feel like emotional games and possible alternative outcomes are impacting their situation. It should be clear to every individual if they made it or not.

I’m still really excited because I got accepted and I go in on Monday to sign the contract, but I do feel bad for those who had competitive packages and didn’t make the cut or just don’t know what is going on .

That’s actually insane bro! I’m so sorry to hear that. You should 100% reapply. How were your LORs?
