i just graduated from navy OCS and she was actually the class officer of our sister company. she's now a lieutenant. great person and example to follow.
So, in hindsight: OCS = 13-week program (3+ months) for those seeking to go to the Unrestricted Line community (Pilot, Navigator/NFO, Surface Warfare Officer/SWO, Submarines, Aircraft Maintenance Officer/AMDO, "SeaBees"/Civil Engineering, SEALs, Supply, Diving, EOD) ODS = 5-week program for RESTRICTED Line candidates (e.g. Medical Corps, Intel, Public Affairs/PAO, IT, Oceanography, HR, Crypto Warfare, Nurse Corps, Dental Corps, JAG/Lawyer, Aerospace Engineering Duty Officer/AEDO)
Bla Let’s just say reasons beyond my control. That, and a change of heart, realizing that a life of frequent shipboard deployments doesn’t cut it for me anymore (I’m prior enlisted btw). Oh, well. When one door closes, another one opens. I’m applying for the Army National Guard’s Flying Warrant Officer program. If I were to stay in military aviation, that’ll be my best bet going forward
Bla Yeah. Incoming PFA. I missed the push-ups by 2 reps. Did great on the sit-ups and okay on the run, though. I was given a chance to retake the whole thing again. But, that didn’t work out well either as I suffered a muscle constriction near my chest after my remedial sit-ups
This is exactly the information I've been looking for. After being passed over for NROTC twice due to exceeding the maximum college credits, I've always been told by recruiters my only option left was NCP. Now that I know another path exists I have something else I can strive for. Anchors Aweigh!!!
@reverse thrust Per BUPERS Inst. 2017.11 he must request an OCST while blowing tubes on the midwatch, this only after lighting fires on #3 boiler, hanging over the side aft of the fantail and observing a 27 knot emergency back bell.

2 Primary types of Naval Officers: Line (OCS) & Staff (ODS) ** 2 exceptions (Supply, CEC - attend OCS) LINE OFFICERS: 2 subcategories 1. Unrestricted Line (URL) = warfighter "trigger puller" that can assume command of operational units (ships, subs, aircraft squadrons, SEAL Teams, etc) ex: Pilot/NFO, SEAL, EOD, Submarine Officer, SWO 2. Restricted Line = direct support to operations. ex: intel, public affairs, HR/Admin, information warfare, meteorological STAFF OFFICERS: 2 subcategories 1. Staff (traditional) =specialized support staff professionals with previous education/experience in their field. Cannot command afloat (operational) units. ex: medical (doctor, nurse, health admin, dental), legal 2. ** Operational Staff = support functions that embed and integrate with operations. Can and do lead operations, but cannot command afloat units. ** because of the operational nature of their community, prospective Supply and CEC Officers attend OCS. ex: Supply Corps - Logistics professionals that integrate with all warfare domains and are often called upon to augment operations (i.e. bridge watch, helicopter control tower, lead ship boardings and security forces, Command Duty Officer, etc.) Civil Engineer Corps - combat engineers and architects that can conduct construction/repair operations in hostile environments. Often integrating with both Naval and Marine Corps forces. "We build. We Fight."
This is for officers who are ALREADY commissioned, ocs is for candidates who seek a commission. ODS is for specialists like nurses, doctors, lawyers, chaplains etc.
@@chriss4763 also Cyber Warfare Engineers go through ODS (not OCS) I think ODS is just for people that were preselected to be a commissioned officer because they tend to be more skilled and have a lot of options outside of the military, so the military wants to incentivize them to join up by commissioning them ASAP. (Nurses, doctors, lawyers, computer engineers; difficult to attain these skills and once people have them they have many lucrative options)
A favorite peeve of mine learned at Instructor Training School back on the 60s-70s is that your rank is NEVER part of your name, check your birth certificate, so you NEVER say "My name is Lt.Jg and your name" it is correct to say "I am Lt Jg your name. Your are a rank and your name is from your birth certificate. Nearly everyone does it wrong from E1 through O-10
Yeah, I agree with this. Interestingly, if you attain an advanced degree, like a PhD or MD, that title does actually become part of your name. Not sure if there is a legal change to your name, but people often treat it as such. "Hello, my name is Dr. John Doe" is often just as correct as saying "Hello, I am Dr. John Doe"
Yep. They want lawyers and doctors who have just finished some of the hardest schooling out there to join. Dragging them through 13 weeks of hell when they could get a civilian job isn’t a good way to convince them to.
My dad went through ODS to be an FMF trauma surgeon. It didnt really matter, bc he had to go to sere and USMC infantry school. So… ODS is the least of an FMF Officers worries.
@@samr7609 have you yourself served to understand that training? Only recently have Officers really began to integrate more into downrange field care. Those are usually PA’s and Nurse Corps Officers now. Surgeons aren’t having to do any tactical care or anything that requires difficult military training. They are typically brought stabilized patients for surgeries just like here with less resources being the most difficult aspect.
Lol does she really have that much on? Foundation, some lip gloss, and a little eye shadow? She probably just has really clear skin and plucks her eyebrows.

Is this basically boot camp? I've been to BMT and I just want to see if it'll be the same thing over again. Thanks for any info.
It's bootcamp plus officer training
She is a awesome nurse she was my nurse a few times and she was literally the best
I met her in Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti in 2017. Very nice person.
@BK_gamer what was she doing there?
@@mickfunny4185 She was assigned to the medical facility on the base.

No, OCS is not limited to unrestricted communities. Intel, Crypto, Oceanography, PAO all go through OCS, not ODS
Zach Strohl Thanks for the correction. I was there months ago as an SNA candidate. Sadly, I didn’t make it.

Bla Dropped. After Week 1 (and a half), I spent the next 3 months at Student Pool waiting to go home
Bla Yeah. Incoming PFA. I missed the push-ups by 2 reps. Did great on the sit-ups and okay on the run, though.

1:44 is enlisted boot camp in Great Lakes
no, ODS is for mostly staff corp officers who are already commissioned as officer.
I will be going to ods this spring. Looking forward to the challenge.

What happened?
I just found out i was accepted into the navy nurses corps! how long before i get a call, or letter in the mail about my ship out date?

Thank goodness for this video. I was considering applying to a job opportunity in the Navy, and now I know to skip it entirely.
Ella L. Why?
@@firehawk8521 the Navy wouldn’t want Ella
I wish, my daughter, a LPN-Going to be RN, had done, this, Maybe my 8-year enlistment, I gave a "Bad" preview, of sailor life.
how can we do to enter the navy traning school is it too dificult to end the trainning
Do new commissioned officers attend ODS if they are going to be a pilot?
You would go to ocs
Great video! Lots of valuable information!
Is boot camp a prerequisite if you have already obtained a bachelors degree and interested in serving in the reserve?
T Scott no
You always need to do a Bootcamp coming to the Armed Forces officer or enlisted
@@firehawk8521 not true at all
So does this replace OCS? or is this a alternative?
This is for officers who are ALREADY commissioned, ocs is for candidates who seek a commission. ODS is for specialists like nurses, doctors, lawyers, chaplains etc.
