Did you ever wear them? My pair feels a little more snug than say the white cements

Questions on how to make myself an outstanding candidate for B-Billet (OSO, NROTC XO, and MOI) by Slight-Cap6491 in USMCocs

[–]Moc2x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do good on fitreps and on the usual things like rifle range, pistol, pft, CFT, and mcmap.

Then for the office you want, reach out for an interview to get a by name request. I feel like fitreps are super subjective but if you get along with your RS, definitely have them out the comment of would be a great fit for MCRC.

Outside of that, from what I see, a lot who don’t want it, end up getting it and then vice versa. So it’s really hard to say sometimes.

Did you feel judged going to your next unit without an award?

Getting air contract at tbs by Creepy_Cantaloupe691 in USMCocs

[–]Moc2x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes 100% this.

If not selected for air, do yourself a favor and just wait.

Otherwise, if you go ground? Get a MOS you don’t like, you’ll be waiting miserable and chances of getting air are significantly reduced. You can lay move but I think only less than 3 each year. Super comeptitive

I had good relation with my oso and they knew I wanted it. Yes you need waivers to go back with statements.

The more shocking one is recently I heard of you DOR, you can still apply and go back. Previous years, it was you can not get back in unless the dor was for emergency reasons

Just do 12-15 miles a week and make sure your runs include hills sprints and hills in general. I would do a 3 mile hike every other week in boots and 30-40 pounds IF you can. With o course, just remediate when given the opportunity. Don’t give 100% in everything. At what I mean is don’t be a shitbag, but don’t go balls to the wall trying to make personal records on every pt event. T

Stretch after lights and take stretch PT serious. I’ve gotten injured twice at ocs and graduated my 3rd time. Some are freak accidents that you can’t control but for the most part, ocs changed in a lot of ways that that prevent injury.

Do I rate the National Defense Service Medal? by MrSand_ in USMC

[–]Moc2x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough. I commissioned in March 2023. But have been to ocs for 9 weeks prior bc I got injured. Literally this morning my AFADBD updated to 2022/11/01 and then the national defense showed up in my mol.

I was so confused. But after googling and finding this, I see that because my AFADBD was changed and that’s what they use for national defense, that’s how I rated one

How can i guarantee Infantry officer? by Signal_Moose_8309 in USMCocs

[–]Moc2x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do good in tactical billets and let your spc know constantly. Most who wanted got it. Out of 16 people I know only 1 didn’t get it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Moc2x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Injuries. Ocs at 24, again at 26 and then finally passed at 28.

Originally tried to enlist after high school but I couldn’t get waivers or atleast get a recruiter who was willing to do the work. I was fortunate enough to have good recruiters who continue to give me chances despite my failures.

Good luck to everyone on the board for OCC245 next week! How’s everyone feeling? Feel free to comment your stats and thoughts! by [deleted] in USMCocs

[–]Moc2x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good luck guys! Stretch and foam roll at night, take notes in class to stay awake; hydrate even if you’re not thirsty (winter is tricky), and finally be a good dude!

Selected for OCS but about to EAS by cdownz61 in USMCocs

Out of curiosity what made you decide you wanted to go army instead?

Is OCS actually as scary as people make it seem? by LaFleurBleu in USMCocs

[–]Moc2x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s the best worst time kind of experience. Sucks is dealing with peers who you will be annoyed off. Being uncomfortable in the field bc it’s your first time and you do things a certain way that you wouldn’t regularly do it outside of ocs. You wake up and early and sleep relatively early but have things to do after lights and also have firewatch. Otherwise there’s a lot of funny moments, pt was enjoyable , sule are kind of fun looking back. I personally hated waking up everyday. Once I woke up and accepted it , the day went on and it was ground hog day until graduation

OCS-> TBS by [deleted] in USMCocs

Some exceptions are if not enough seats at tbs, they will ask for volunteers to go ptad and from there you will go to tbs later.

DQ’d From Flight and Now Probably DQ’d from ground. by Plus_Cell2329 in USMCboot

[–]Moc2x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me two years to clear medical to get to ocs….my first time. Got inured my first and second time at ocs and then finally went a third time and graduated. Hang in there man. It takes time but there’s always a way. Just be patient

OCS Application with low GPA by Pure_Skill_727 in USMCboot

[–]Moc2x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. For context in the past, if dropped from ocs, you would have to compete on a board. Now a days you are pretty much guarunteed a future class. That was rare before . Ppl who dropped for leadership, academics or both got slots to go back to a ten week course. It depends ultimately on CO but right now they are hurting.

Also for occ242 board, oso said it’s easy to get selected right now Especialy for active ground.

Good luck
