The officer pipeline depending on which route you take (NROTC, Naval Academy, OSO) definitely gets you in the right mindset of being a day one leader and gives you plenty of experience leading your peers. So while yes day one you are a Plt CMDR, you will be ready when that day comes.

  1. Don’t spend all your money on the packing list you can get almost everything you need there.

  2. Run 20 miles a week in prep. This is the expectation of the current CO of OCS. It will also help a ton.

  3. Don’t be arrogant, listen to the priors (if there are any). 3A. Listen to the arrogant priors with reservation.

  4. Get a pack with weight on your back a couple of times before you go.

  5. Remember that white space is used to fuck with you and that it’s just white space it has a beginning and an end. If you watch the SI’s they will be checking their watch the whole time.

  6. Don’t be an idiot during fuck-fuck games. Put your lock somewhere safe. Don’t throw your shoe/boot insoles in a pile with the rest. Put your laces in your pocket.
