BS! None of this nonsense made me a Naval Officer. The Corp is an important part of the Navy, but it is just a part. Naval Officers are the brains of the outfit and no amount of yelling improves your brainpower. It just makes you leave New Port hating jarheads.
I went through OCS in 1985. Sixteen weeks back then, no Marine DI's (thank God), and the indoctrination was done by the senior OCS candidates. Lot's of marching and classes. I guess the system is now learn what you need to know at a following school. My bunk mate quit after a couple of days and I had room to myself for most of the sixteen weeks. Fun times in Newport, though.
Going into boot camp (San Diego) way back in 1979 my attitude was "Push myself to my maximum at all times, 100%. No let up. It's only 8 weeks." We had about a 30% attrition rate. I was no great athlete or anything, but I was lean and in good shape. I sailed through, as did most of us. I'm sure OCS is similar.
I was an officer candidate in 1972 at Newport OCS (class 7207). 16+ weeks of intense training. In those days it was the upper classmen who acted the part of the Marine drill instructors. It was the same at USNA. Of course eventually you become the screaming authoritarian yourself. Interesting to see the same rooms we were living in at King Hall. Jeez. I still remember the smells. During hell week the new officer candidates were just as intimidated by the upper classmen DIs as these middies are of the Marine DIs.
My best friend is here at the Newport training command and he’s currently going through all this training , I hope he’s okay because my best friend is not a screamer and he doesn’t even talk loud, so I hope he’s doing okay Over there.
Just went through OCS. That’s in King hall where only the Candios and super Candios stay now. The Nimitz Hall is so much nicer and the rooms even come with a personal toilet and shower suite. The program is tough, but I believe they had to ease up a bit since they are now getting a ton of collegiates who come to OCS totally out of shape and unprepared. But don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to have to go through all of it again XD Hooyah!
@@AFlowerBlooming Indoc phase is physically challenging, but I would say that OCS is definitely more mentally challenging than anything else. You have squadron PT every morning (Monday - Friday) and what you put in is what you get out. You don’t have to run very much. The hardest PT is the S&E run and everything else is moderately challenging as long as you don’t sand bag it. Just go into OCS with a good attitude and be prepared to make mistakes. I wish you the best of luck!
@@AFlowerBlooming they say it is 3 miles (2 Laps around training country is 1.5) but it honestly feels a lot shorter than that. You will start out only doing 2 laps around training country for your first week of squadron PT. There are a lot of slow people so you can pace yourself. Also it’s getting colder so y’all will most likely be doing PT indoors (sustainment run through out the halls of Nimitz) in place of the S and E run / train run.
My Son just arrived at Newport one week ago tomorrow. Friday October 24th , 2021. I would imagine starting tomorrow October 1st 2021 it’s gonna get real lol. Went through enlisted boot camp myself for US Army July of 1987 in Ft Dix , NJ. This is gonna be interesting to see OCS experience.
RLP is the the make-or-break of OCS. Just keep pushing no matter what. Typically, from what I remember, if you get a Marine, just being loud and pushing the entire time will get you through. If you get a Chief or Senior Chief, be sure that your knowledge is good. I got a Gunny and messed up literally EVERY knowledge question, but still passed. XD
@@douglasmcnay644 Very good! I have been memorizing Appendix B from front to back and he said if you can say everything ballistic without any hesitation or stutter than that's half of the battle at RLP.
07-18 Golf Company. If our shirt is still in the p-ways at Nimitz, it's the Game of Thrones themed one with our class rdcs and gunny riding dragons and our class officers as giants. It says "And now our watch has begun". Every night when we chose who would be section leader for the next day, we would have this tradition of saying "And now my watch has ended" before giving it to the oncoming section leader. My name was under the SNAs listed.
Probably has a "No Shave Chit". When I went through boot camp a good amount of guys, mainly African American guys, had no shave chips because the constant shaving f*cks their skin up.
Yeah what Perez said, shaving as a black man can get pretty fucking crazy, some people think we're being given special privileges but that shit is actually saving us from a ton of embarrassment.
I can remember how many times I was stopped by Chiefs in a single day asking if I had a no shave chit. Pissed me off to the point where I whip it out before they finished their sentences. One of them asked if I get asked this constantly, which he left me alone afterwards
For those that have served, do you find that there are different attitudes towards those that go from enlisted to OCS vs those that come from civilian sector to OCS?
Yeah Mr. Banana is right on the money, there are some jerk off prior enlisted officers and there are jerk off academy grads. It all depends on the personality of that officer
@@Jerryleedlelee Fact I've worked with both. Most Mustangs are awesome...I had one Capt. dude use to be a SSgt. what a arrogant tool he was. Then I worked for a Lt. Her dad was a Col.

@@thewatcher4552 yeah I had a METOC I had served with for 5 years *squadron and on the ship* after 5 years serving with him I noticed his academy photo in his office *metocs on my ship had to take Legal Officer as a collateral* . I’m like “sir no way you’re an academy grad” he told me “yup, just never told you cause I knew you wouldn’t believe me” that guy was the most down to earth officer I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
@@phipfff thank you for your comment and service. Im about to submit my package, I want to be the best leader I can be and was hoping I wouldn't be treated differently from other officers (from Annapolis or prior enlisted) just because I came in late to the ball game. It seems, OCS is the great equalizer.
Like others said, it really depends on the person . IMO , those who’ve had “humbling” life experience, May that be family, college, or military; tend to be the best leaders . Things like (poverty, children, hardships, trials & tribulations, just dealing with people ) make us a bit more personable and understanding of the “big picture” of life . Most priors I’ve known were good officers, but some can be full of themselves as well. It goes back to who you are at your core
For enlisted bootcamp? You'll go through several inspections like this but there will be a lot less yelling and no Marines, your failures will just be recorded and then they move on to the next recruit.
I've read that where marines slept and spent time on a ship, traditionally, was positioned in between sailors and officers to prevent mutiny and to more readily carry out the whatever the officers ordered.
This is what happens when you let Marines take over training. None of this yelling makes officer candidates think better and in the Navy thinking is the name of the game.
I don’t agree, This kind of training allows them to operate under high intensity and Preassure, the same way Marines are taught. The Last thing the Navy needs is a Weapons Officer not able to launch his Tomahawks or SLBMs due to being frozen and overwhelmed by adrenaline caused by an engagement.
It was a few marines that I didn't care for. After graduation, I repeatedly walked into the chow hall so they would have to salute me. Nurse Corps > crayon eating enlisted marine
It is the Marine senior enlisted that makes naval officers.

Oh man if he was enlisted he would’ve gotten f’d up for that!
Marines training our Naval Officers. Been saying for years they should be training our enlisted sailors as well.
USMC drill instructors should be training all branches
@@joey_556different reasons for different dogs.

No rubber pipe flogging during inspection?
But do they get smoked?
Are you kidding it's the Navy I bet they get winded warming up. 😅
I remember great Lakes was just like this oh my fucking God I am in for it with ocs 🤦🏽♀️😂
Idk why watching this video makes do things at 110% anything I do

He’s an officer. Probably CO
Get em!!!
This Gunny doesn’t scare me, he should work on it.
You such a civilian
Try making him screaming at you in your face.
You aren't there lol
That’s because you’re not there.... get your bum ass up and go to ocs and mcrd then come back and holla at me bro
Probably like real combat doesn't scare you because you play Call of Duty.
So why do they get a marine to do the inspection?
i've read that originally, marines were used to discipline sailors too, back when the marine corps was founded
I've read that where marines slept and spent time on a ship, traditionally, was positioned in between sailors and officers to prevent mutiny and to more readily carry out the whatever the officers ordered.
el del 1:55 es hombre o mujer y si es mujer que hace en la seccion de hombres?
Men and women train together at OCS
No hay seccion de hombres. Hombres y mujeres entrenan juntos. Duermen en diferentes cuartos, pero toman los test juntos.
Están re afonicos los chabones! De tanto que gritan jajaja
that loos so soft compared to marine boot camp...
You do realize that they are being trained by a senior DI right?
Everything is softer on camera 📸
Had to crack myself laughing. So over the top.

I can't stand a midshipsman they'd come to Cherry Point in the summer and try to get pissy when we wouldn't solute them we'd laugh at them
Those instrutors will get serious problems in their throat in the future. Shouting harms vocal chords, in several cases, they"re irreversible illness.
All their vocal chords are fucked. They view it as a necessary sacrifice.
Are all those DI's hoarse? no wonder....
