Obviously, it's probably a bit over our paygrade, but my guess is that it goes beyond there being too many lieutenants. From what I gather, it has to do with Marines being 'professional warriors' and...

I am not familiar with the programs USMC-Fox mentioned, but I do know that all the prior reservists I know went through an OSO. Best bet is to use google like the Sgt. said as well as talk to an OSO....

No problem. Hope my info was useful. Yeah, I am so hoping for a west coast duty station, but like a lot of Marines I will probably get lovely Lejeune off the bat. I spent a year out in Cali one time,...

That is too bad. I know a bunch of candidates in the same situation. My date got pushed back as well and I graduated college in December. Trust me though, the time flies and it's all worth it. Semper...

Cpl.,

The running is not nearly the same as it was under Col. Chase. OCS used to be all about running. There were always Fartlek's for PT, but there were more of them more often. I have heard that...

Wow...that surprises me. That's a big deal. I mean certain things you realize they didn't care too much about, but lying on your crunch count? Man, like I said, the lack of sleep plus stress can...

Or Lol, as my plt sgt explained it his Hispanic accent.. "no high five or good game...negative!"

Teddy, I wouldn't try to formalize it or think too hard about it. I mean it's good that you're...

Well as I said in my earlier post, I feel that OCS is more mental than physical. But I'm not a prior, and I think it's one of those to each his own things. I'm not sure of the breakdown, but I think...

Ours was 40/67...could've been a little worse...can't remember. Commission by attrition!:evilgrin:

Diblo pretty much hit everything that I was going to say. Although, I should probably mention that Diblo went through the Bulldog course which is for the NROTC/MECEP bubbas. I went through the PLC 10...

Yeah...the permanent staff serve 2 year billets...I think just like any other drill field billet. But a lot of the staff were serving I guess you would say like a TAD billet there. Ie. MOAs for NROTC...

That's rough...lol, that was like 1.5 mi route step just to get to the chow hall!! Golf Co. was MECEP/bulldog right? Or that might have been India? Can't remember.

Yeah I'll agree here as well. While I am not a prior, I did do a "mini OCS" wknd where IT was allowed. In fact, one of my OCS plt sgt's told me that the mini OCS wknd was similar to how they trained...

Ah you bravo bastards lol...still thinking of the big pugil stick bout. I was the first fight, and you might remember, but I was the one that our DI made go warm up against the tree...lol.

Yeah,...

Nice post UMD. I assume you just went through OCS as well as you described the latest pick up (no more dump your junk on the parade deck...). I just wanted to add one thing with regards to priors at...
