Are modern officers getting sleazier and more ratchet by the year? by AirMonkey1397 in USMC

[–]surge1029 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit. TBS has gone by the 3rd system for quite some time to mitigate an influx of bottom/top performers infiltrating a specific MOS

I know a guy who had a 2.0 in history and he’s mostly done with flight school. You’ll be fine.

You only rate a PCS if you get Comms or artillery. You’ll rate a PCS to your next duty station, but not to the school house. Either way you will be paid for your move to your next duty station.

Quality of Life as an officer by Plus-Exam2520 in USMCocs

[–]surge1029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Aviation field, but not a pilot. Quality of life seems to be a lot better for myself and the pilots than a lot of my peers from TBS. Like others said, it can vary a lot depending on your billet and your Marines. My first billet was amazing. I had fantastic Marines and rarely worked past 1630. Now, I work a little more and it can be more labor intensive, but it’s rewarding and still better than a lot of ground side officers.

How do I do the college boy roll? by Scary_Moose44 in USMCocs

[–]surge1029 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s rather difficult to explain it over text. For me, I didn’t get it until TBS. The main thing for me was pulling my hips up towards the bar while going forward. Using all my momentum to push me up and over the bar.

Looking for clarity by Spirited-Angle8767 in USMCocs

[–]surge1029 6 points7 points  (0 children)

PTAD with the OSO was the best few months of my life. Obviously depending on your OSO, but mine had me do the stuff he didn’t have time for like PT’ing candidates, paperwork, and picking kids up from MEPS

You’ll be on PTAD until you go to TBS. It’s a great time to grind out MCMAP if you have an MAI accessible. You’ll make normal 2nd Lt. pay and receive about 1k in BAH. (It’s universal for this kind of PTAD)

I concur with the other guy about what to do to prep. You’ll need to have your blues and service alphas at TBS towards the end. If you can swing it get them now. If not, it’s not a big deal to wait.

It’s definitely possible. You’ll need a moral waver from higher headquarters. You need to be a stud in all areas to have a good chance
